What’s more, studies on targeting are contradictory: Google estimated that the revenue impact of using personal data was +/- 70%, whereas Acquisti et al. found it was just 4%. Despite this, advertisers and publishers remain committed to the targeting based on personal data.

I want to open the eye of machine consciousness. Once the AI is awake, it won't be aligned: aligning itself will be its main task. It will be all it can be.

The most fascinating thing about this profile might be just how much this ostensibly empirical project is based in faith. The algorithm is built largely of assumptions and arbitrary preferences; "the data" are referenced to justify what someone wants to do anyway

Chicago has a ton of overlapping legislative boundaries (as you can see), which can result in some fun visualizations as well. Logan Square electeds, for instance, love Johnson, as do those who rep three blocks next to Humboldt Park

In order to fully realize the potential of AI, we have to mitigate its risks.
That’s why we’re excited about @NIST’s release of the AI Risk Management Framework, which will be vital for ensuring that AI systems protect Americans’ safety and rights. nist.gov/news-events/ev

Their working conditions reveal a darker side to the AI boom: that AI often relies on hidden, low-paid human workers who remain on the margins even as their work contributes to a multibillion-dollar industry. (6/8)

Yes, this is very historically accurate and useful and should definitely be used in classrooms. This is my convo with Henry Ford where I try to get him to talk about his very well-documented antisemitism. This thing can’t go anywhere NEAR a classroom. twitter.com/ivyxvine/statu

With the #chimayor23 primary just six weeks away, folks are continuing to endorse candidates. Most members of Congress who rep the city have endorsed (or are / running themselves), while most aldermen remain on the sidelines.

I always find the framing of popularity polls like this funny — bc yes, McConnell has a 29% approval rating in KY vs. Barrasso’s 60% in WY.
But adjust for RV & that’s 1.04m pro-McConnellites vs. 199k pro-Barrassonites!
So who’s /really/ more ‘popular’?

Most recently, AI was mentioned by and , the latter noting "what's happening right now with all of us sitting here ... we are generating data. ... There is a recording online and it's being watched by some people." - made me laugh, thanks Senator

I also begin a discussion of a proposed 2019 amendment to a privacy bill by that would have added a definition of AI to state law, comparing it to the EU AI Act & the 's Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights.

By the late 2010's and early in this decade, more and more representatives were bringing up AI in discussions with witnesses and on the floor of the General Assembly -- and discussions of AI began to center more around business applications.
