An excellent summary via r/australia:

"outsourcing sensitive disability data to a surveillance tech giant while legally shielding the AI's mistakes is peak dystopian government. deadass zero accountability just like Robodebt, but this time with privatized profit."

Computers are not making decisions. The Australian government is, just like they did with #robodebt. It's unacceptable behaviour to be #AutomatingInequality for #NDIS + #AgedCare in #Australia

Seeking to understand how/why AI is in alignment with your values, when there's no such thing as "ethical AI'.
AI is #automatingInequality, pushing resources we already don't have to the brink, and killing people + planet. Why are you signing up for that?

"A new aged care algorithm has cut his support, no human can override it." That statement is bullshit. No human has *chosen* to override it, because they want poor aged people dead. #bloodinthemachine #automatinginequality #australia

"I want to talk about the rise of this digital poorhouse and how it responds to and re-creates a narrative. The idea that there's not enough for everyone and we have to make really tough choices about who deserves to attain their basic human rights."

Not sure if you knew about this but there’s a great read that I think you should look into if you’re interested. AI-powered systems for algorithmic rent increase, that sounds like something she would’ve covered in #automatinginequality

@VirginiaEubanks illustriert im Buch #AutomatingInequality (2018), wie AI-gestützte Systeme in Gesundheit, Sozialhilfe und Politik schädliche Entscheidungen treffen, die auf fehlerhaften Daten und Vorurteilen bezüglich Klasse, race und Geschlecht beruhen.
