    Thread. People get mad at academics for publishing proof-of-concept study. Sure, disagree with study/findings. But publishing is ESSENTIAL.https://twitter.com/michalkosinski/status/906333435886751744 …

        The center gravity of AI research—the data, the engineers, the money—is NOW OUTSIDE OF ACADEMIA. They will do this, and we will never know.

        What's coming has authoritarian implications. I tried making this case for years. Only studies seem to have an effect on public awareness.

        Of course academics should be careful with ethical implications of each study. But most of this is being done by nation-states+corporations.

        It is possible to stop academics from doing proof-of-concept studies. It won't lessen the real-world applications, just mute the warnings.

        What I am saying is different than disagreeing with findings. By all means, that's what we do, argue about validity and reliability.

        If we will ever defend against this; regulate this; find ways to grapple with it—it will only happen if public understands scope of threat.

        Corporations & nation-states will use this and won't tell you. Cat is out the bag. Not wise to stop academics from warning the public. /end

        And: Solid critical analysis of the Kosinki Wang paper by @jeremyphoward evaluating the claims—finding them lacking. http://www.fast.ai/2017/09/13/kosinski/ …

        Sure. But would be nice to suggest defenses as well.
