    Interested in the approach to pedagogy, so looking for something along the lines of the exercises in "Our Data Bodies" or "People's Guide to AI" but for computer vision.

    Can folks suggest good resources for explaining "how computer vision works 101" or "how facial recognition works 101" to a general audience?

    And to focus on the structural forces at work in shaping the discourse around "ethics in AI."

    Lots of complicated conversations happening now around this piece. I want to second 's call to center grassroots orgs that are led by the folks who are most affected by algorithmic injustice—as the writer does!

    Worse, there seemed to be a mismatch between the Partnership’s recommendations and the efforts of a grassroots coalition of organizations fighting jail expansion, including the movement Black Lives Matter, the prison abolitionist group Critical Resistance (where I have volunteered), and the undocumented and queer/trans youth-led Immigrant Youth Coalition. The grassroots coalition argued, ...

    So what it missing? And does it change the argument the corporations prefer ethics based regulation to banning certain technologies and fund academia to strengthen their case?

    A friend in the FAT* community adds that they think the piece flattens complex issues around incrementalism vs reform in the field, but that it's hard to have a public conversation about the field's struggles with power, because it requires disclosing even more insider knowledge.

    Seconding 's point that this is a complicated take, and to center voices from folks with other lived experiences in the conversation.

    I boosted this piece because it rings true with my + friends' experiences in CS academia & bc it starts an important conversation about influence + ideas. But I think it's important to note the tension b/t the author's intent with the piece and the impact it may actually have.

    Finally: this is not new! In the 1970s and 80s, the US private insurance industry invented the idea of "actuarial fairness" to protect itself from charges of discrimination by activists and evade legal regulation, as Ochigame et al. have written earlier. Sound familiar? 11/

    This piece is a great counterpoint to the argument of technological determinism: "If we don't build it, someone else will." Perhaps interrogate who planted the thought that "it," whatever technology, was worth building in the first place? 10/

    Do you care about how corporate profit agendas shape the research, policymaking, and national conversations around the software that governs your life and that is deployed against enemies of the state? Read this piece. 9/

    Seriously, you won't find this amount of dishing anywhere else. Where few others would dare, Rodrigo has bravely come forth to illuminate the collusion between corporate, academic, and military pushers of "ethical AI." 8/

    Today, we find out that the language of "AI ethics" has been a smokescreen for corporate lobbying. Big tech groomed academia to develop technical self-regulations to avoid legal regulation. Why? Profit. Read Rodrigo's exposé for the receipts. 7/

    Regardless, in the last three years, work done under the aegis of promoting "fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics" has become enormously influential in setting big tech and US policy agendas. 6/
