ACM just hosted a discussion to decide whether Palantir should remain a sponsor b/c of its ICE contract.
We just heard they invited Palantir to that convo.
But they didn't invite those impacted. They didn't invite organizers like @JFREJNYC @MaketheRoadNY
@TheOfficialACM why?
#ACMCSLaw already lost participants due to Palantir sponsorship. Sad for an inaugural event claiming to be about justice. The plan today is to discuss funding in a closed meeting.I hope those who have the privilege to go can resist funding from parties that split our communities.
Incredible time at #ACMCSLaw today, learned a lot and makes me feel even more excited about moving forward in this interdisciplinary field
BU researchers used MPC to analyze wage disparity as between men and women, reports Shafi Goldwasser at #ACMCSLaw
@jackbalkin My favorite slide at #ACMCSLaw so far is from @EdFelten's presentation on "When Code Isn't Law." This question isn't asked enough in policy debates.
@carmelatroncoso :-) This is a gracious amendment, but I think it goes beyond 'hard to match' and is more like: logical decidability is a generally low-priority goal of the legal system. (My words, not yours, but I'm sure future invitations are secure, at least I would hope so.) #ACMCSLaw
@djweitzner I agree with @paulohm
this is a law feature and should not change. A law as adtrict as our definitions would be suffocating!
We need more conferences like #ACMCSLaw to discuss this differences and find suitable paths forward @Mehtabkn
Limitations of law:
- Often incomplete doesnβt speak to all cases
- Written in less precise language
- Written by collectives, so might not have any clear rationale (!)
- Bugs

@nicolewong Ian Levy @NCSC: Trying to take a tool like PhotoDNA (used to detect online child porn) and repurpose it for terrorism content is *dumb*! #acmcslaw
βWhatβs the difference between machine learning and AI?
Itβs that machine learning is written in Python, whereas AI is written in PowerPoint.β
-Dr. Ian Levy, #ACMCSLaw
@nicolewong Child porn detection hash databases worked because the content is very specifically defined. Expanding this approach to other controversial content (hate speech, beheadings, etc) is likely to fail. Company CEO's say AI will solve this. It won't! #acmcslaw
Nicole Wong at #ACMCSLaw: is the ability for technologists and policy makers to understand each other a communication problem (common languages) or capacity problem (common people with interdisciplinary skills)? (ππΌ loving the increased appreciation for interdisciplinarity here)
Paul Ohm to the CS folks - the time to be neutral is over. You are making a political statement when presenting any technical tool, there is no political neutrality there. #acmcslaw
Privacy as blunt instrument. Need for rigorous focus on particularities. #ACMCSLaw
@paulohm @carmelatroncoso asks: when does surveillance begin? At the time of data collection or when there is violation of contextual integrity? #acmcslaw
