Today, @theintercept published an exposé by Rodrigo Ochigame (a PhD candidate at MIT) on the invention of "ethical AI" by big tech.

Here's why I think it's important to read this piece and share it widely. 1/

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/

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.

@fredbenenson's point that this is a complicated take, and to center voices from folks with other lived experiences in the conversation.https://twitter.com/fredbenenson/status/1208459946800508928 …Prikaži ovu nit -
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.

Lots of complicated conversations happening now around this piece. I want to second
@gleemie's call to center grassroots orgs that are led by the folks who are most affected by algorithmic injustice—as the writer does! https://twitter.com/gleemie/status/1208793442509152258 …pic.twitter.com/D80lMXQHtQ

c.f. your excellent essay on how "we need to talk about jeffrey" it's an incredibly chilling prospect that our ideas of the possible are much narrower than we had thought

sorry, thinking in public—not just that, but that it is apparently just so -easy- to influence the entire intellectual direction of a field for a generation if you have enough money
