When Kay Cole James, William Burns & I (+ 5 others) were meant to represent the world for Google, Heritage was not only headed by an African American woman, but working with Dianne Feinstein on Russian election hacking. The cancelling of #ATEAC undermined KCJ & moved Heritage back right. #AIEthics

A New York school district planned to trial a humanoid robot named Sally with lifelike silicone skin as a classroom teaching assistant. The robot would answer student questions 24/7 as a digital avatar. Following privacy concerns, the project has been paused. The story explores whether human-like robots could become routine in schools - and the questions this raises about data privacy and the role of real teachers. https://theconversation.com/a-lifelike-robot-called-sally-was-going-to-teach-in-a-us-school-its-not-a-weird-as-it-sounds-288493 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEthics

A new AI browser called Gem uses Google’s Gemini model to generate custom visual layers on top of any website - even creating entirely fake pages for non-existent URLs. Built by a Google DeepMind engineer, it represents a new frontier in AI-generated web content. https://gizmodo.com/this-ai-browser-is-building-the-front-end-for-the-dead-internet-2000791435 #AI #GenAI #AIEthics

This is disturbing. Seems like a reasonable article about a positive application for AI: check to see if a clinician might miss something.
But if you use AI to check your work, you will begin to rely on AI to check your work. You'll shut down and let AI take responsibility.
Doctors are human, they will defer to a machine that can process so much more data, so quickly. They won't check AI with the same detachment that AI uses to check them.

Framing #LLMs as emotionless interfaces to systems and information, and not as ‘chatbots’ with their own personalities, would be less misleading and problematic. But it doesn’t fit the tech bro fantasy. #AIEthics #AIHype
