Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask OpenAI, Google DeepMind & other large tech companies, it’s inevitable. However, researchers @Iris & @olivia at Radboud Uni and others show new proof that those claims are overblown and unlikely to ever come to fruition. www.ru.nl/en/research/...

“I wasn’t fired for anything I said in the classroom. I was fired because of a charge brought by a student I had never met, let alone taught, who had been surveying my social media account for months.”

Titus, Lisa Miracchi. "Does ChatGPT have semantic understanding? A problem with the statistics-of-occurrence strategy." Cognitive Systems Research 83 (2024): 101174. Nice one to complement my paper with @andreaeyleen.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1016/j.co...

google still selling lies

reads: "Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. We believe technology is a force for good – and that many of the world’s collective challenges can only be effectively addressed when we work together to create a safer, more resilient digital society."

I feel like people have collectively memory holed that "AI Ethics" was a laundromat for corporations and their affiliated universities to dispel accusations they were (and are) unethical even under the most generous framings... theintercept.com/2019/12/20/m...

THE INVENTION OF “ETHICAL AI”
How Big Tech Manipulates Academia to Avoid Regulation
Lab, is that he used to lead academic initiatives on ethics. After the revelation of his financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier charged with sex trafficking underage girls as young as 14, Ito resigned from multiple roles at MIT, a visiting professorship at Harvard Law School, and the boards of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the New York Times Company.

Many spectators are puzzled by Ito’s influential role as an ethicist of artificial intelligence. Indeed, his initiatives were crucial in establishing the discourse of “ethical AI” that is now ubiquitous in academia and in the mainstream press. In 2016, then-President Barack Obama described him as an “expert” on AI and ethics. Since 2017, Ito financed many projects through the $27 million Ethics and Governance of AI Fund, an initiative anchored by the MIT Media Lab and the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. What was all the talk
