How do job applicants contest a discriminatory decision of an AI-based hiring system? I argue that notice that AI has been used and an explanation of how it works are critical. See my latest paper in the Australian Journal of Labour Law: https://t.co/AZixfCn7fy #AI #hiring #adm

@apple - when are you going to get back to me about my iPad that blew up (literally), burnt a TV cabinet and hurt my daughter’s hand?

[Natalie Sheard @natsheard]

@ACTHealth Can I also say how confusing this all is.

[Natalie Sheard @natsheard]

@ACTHealth Thanks for the information. Victoria is still a geographical area of high risk so I can’t visit my mum even if I can come to the ACT (which makes no sense). What I am asking is when will this change?

[Natalie Sheard @natsheard]

@ACTHealth I live in Melbourne. When can I visit my mother in aged care? Due to the restrictions, I have not seen her since March. Her condition is deteriorating. We are both double vaxxed. There is nothing in the roadmap about this situation. Is this in her best interests?

[Natalie Sheard @natsheard]

@ACTHealth Thanks. Does that override the Chief Medical Officer’s restrictions regarding high risk settings?

[Natalie Sheard @natsheard]

@ACTHealth Thanks for the information.

[Natalie Sheard @natsheard]

@ACTHealth When will aged care open? And when will it open to people from other states? I live in Melbourne and have not seen my mother in aged care in the ACT for over six months. We are both fully vaccinated. What is the plan for this sector?

[Natalie Sheard @natsheard]

@ACTHealth When will the ACT public health advice for high risk settings be reviewed? I live in Melbourne and have been unable to see my mother, who lives in aged care, for months. Even when there have been no cases in Victoria, this advice has not changed.

Governance and oversight of digital responses to the pandemic are critical.

RIP Robodebt! Major back down by the Department of Human Services. No more debts raised on data-matching alone.

@trevorpaglen @FondazionePrada @wiretapped It reveals the deep problems with classifying humans - be it race, gender, emotions or characteristics. It's politics all the way down, and there's no simple way to 'debias' it.

[Kate Crawford @katecrawford]

@trevorpaglen @FondazionePrada @wiretapped ImageNet is one of the most significant training sets in the history of AI. A major achievement. The labels come from WordNet, the images were scraped from search engines. The 'Person' category was rarely used or talked about. But it's strange, fascinating, and often offensive.

I agree that in a climate of fake news it pays to understand data. https://t.co/ghCEShlkL2
