Earlier this week, the 4 teams funded by UKRI's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council UKRI TAS Hub in 2022 to study responsibility for trustworthy autonomous systems gathered at The University of Edinburgh, to share our preliminary findings with each other before kicked off. Then something unexpected happened... 1/n

I plotted daily air quality index values in NYC since 1980 and yesterday's values for reference

The solid red line is the yesterday's daily EPA value (254). The dashed red line is the yesterday's max *hourly* value from iqair (whose daily value was 209)

The first reason is to focus the public’s attention on a far fetched scenario that doesn’t require much change to their business models. Addressing the immediate impacts of AI on labor, privacy, or the environment is costly. Protecting against AI somehow “waking up” is not.

The second is to try to convince everyone that AI is very, very powerful. So powerful that it could threaten humanity! They want you to think we’ve split the atom again, when in fact they’re using human training data to guess words or pixels or sounds.

Bravo Ryan Calo for speaking truth to power/wealth/lies Our noble work is to repair the immediate harms and stop the blue sky futurists who have taken over media attention

Have a look at the prescient lecture on 'algorithmic accountability' Ben Shneiderman gave for Harvard Data Science Initiative and Harvard Radcliffe Institute back in 2018--he saw the future and had (has!) good suggestions! We *can* use AI safely. Up to us, though. 2/2 datascience.harvard.edu/event/ben-shne…

The three „great dames“ of HCI launched the 6th(!) edition of their Interaction Design Book today with a bang - at the riverfront of the Elbe in Hamburg ACM CHI Conference ! So many of you came - that we ran out of books in no time!

The sooner we understand that there is no such thing as artificial intelligence, the sooner we’ll start managing our new technology intelligently, the computer scientist Jaron Lanier writes. nyer.cm/7xWVNnv

I'm thrilled that EMNLP 2023 has a track for Human-Centered NLP. This is how I've been self-identifying of late, which has led to a number of confusions and conversations. I'm not an authority, but thought it might be useful to share this experience. I'd love your thoughts! 1/7

We just published a very interesting debate between Ben Shneiderman and Michael Muller (he/him) @[email protected] consisting of a series of e-mail exchanges on the topic of anthropomorphism in human-centered AI systems with commentary by Pattie Maes and Susan Brennan. medium.com/human-centered… Enjoy the debate!
