A key paper at the intersections of political theory and AI. Not only relevant to those working in this space but also to everyone interested in AI, ethics, and justice!!!

So Facebook is deleting one billion facial recognition scans, but it's keeping DeepFace, the model that is trained on all those faces. Note that "the company has also not ruled out incorporating facial recognition into future products." Very meta. 👀

@carolecadwalla @FrancesHaugen The company should be interested in protecting its users from harm; as Haugen said, this may even help its profitability in the long run.

The estate of Henrietta Lacks has sued the pharmaceutical company, Thermo Fisher Scientific, on Monday, accusing it of selling cells that doctors at Johns Hopkins hospital took in 1951 without her knowledge or consent.

@FrancesHaugen says parents deserve better options than what current algorithms offer but they don't even know what to ask for. Need more transparency #AIEthics #facebookwhistleblower

Can we say more about the need for real people as content moderators, who are actually trained and PAID for their work on social media platforms? @BeLikeLight #facebookwhistleblower

[Tamara Dildy, MD @DrTamaraDildy]

We have seen eating disorders rise sharply in adolescent girls during the pandemic and Facebook has known their algorithm leads young users toward the disorder. #facebookwhistleblower Thank you for speaking up.

In direct contradiction with @AOC, @SenWarren, and others, Frances Haugen is against breaking up FB/IG/Whatsapp #facebookwhistleblower #FrancesHaugen

Philadelphia is prioritizing ppl with underlying conditions (including cancer patients), also food prep, grocery, transportation workers. But there isn’t currently enough vaccine available to meet demand.

[Julia Maués @itsnot_pink]

Does anyone know how to get a message to @FLOTUS? I’m sure she would help make sure cancer patients are prioritized for Covid vaccines if she knew we are being left behind despite having mortality rate of 15-30%, which is ~ those 80+.
