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?

❄️festive PSA❄️
we're nowhere near done having hard conversations about one of the defining events of 2019:
how the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal implicates large swaths of the American techno-counterculture

And to focus on the structural forces at work in shaping the discourse around "ethics in AI." twitter.com/gleemie/status…

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!

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? twitter.com/grok_/status/1…

On second thought, Twitter may not be the best place to continue this convo. Maybe via email?

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 @fredbenenson's point that this is a complicated take, and to center voices from folks with other lived experiences in the conversation. twitter.com/fredbenenson/s…

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/
