#ethicswashing — Public Fediverse posts

«Se restare in ufficio fino a tardi viene considerato un segno di dedizione, sempre più persone inizieranno a restare fino a tardi.
Se chi non contraddice mai il proprio capo viene premiato, le riunioni diventeranno un teatro di consenso.
Se ogni volta che qualcuno fa notare un problema finisce sotto osservazione più del problema stesso, dopo un po' nessuno avrà più il coraggio di segnalare quello che non funziona.
Il modo in cui un'azienda costruisce la propria cultura non dipende solo da quello che decide di premiare, dipende anche da quello che sceglie di tollerare».

"The lack of a clear definition of a 'green datacenter' is a glaring issue that will be faced by every hyperscale facility coming through the planning system,"...

Indeed.

I love that #MarkTrail took on #ethicsWashing this week! I may need to buy a set of these from the artist for my office. #AIEthics via @washingtonpost

And here’s the thing: if/when there is another administration, you don’t let these fuckers weasel their way back in by waving their money. They should never have been let in to begin with. The number of fucking “human rights” and “ethical this or that” conferences I refused to speak at because they were sponsored by these assholes comes to mind. I guess being surveillance capitalists and farming people wasn’t bad enough for some folks.

JK:na tuohon (a)siantuntijaryhmän kokoonpanoon ja lobbaukseen liittyen, että IEP:n AI:n etiikkaa käsittelevä entry mainitsee lopussa erikseen ryhmän vinon kokoonpanon ja arvelee EU:n Ethical Guidelines for Trustworthy AI -dokumenttia paitsi hampaattomaksi, myös esimerkiksi teollisuuden harjoittamasta "etiikka-pesusta", https://iep.utm.edu/ethics-of-artificial-intelligence/#H3.

«Bei Google ist Rassismus & Sexismus allgegenwärtig», sagt @timnitGebru. Sie wurde als Co-Leiterin des Google Ethics AI Teams eingestellt, um in der Technologie Probleme zu eruieren & verbessern. Das tat sie & wurde dafür entlassen.

Google betreibe #EthicsWashing & #DiversityBranding, so Gebru, um ethisch & divers zu wirken, ohne es tatsächlich anzustreben. Die Botschaft für die Öffentlichkeit: Wir regulieren uns selber und brauchen keine staatlichen Mechanismen. Ethische Werte als Feigenblatt.

“Ethics research” at Google, Facebook, etc., is the new “climate change research” at Exxon.

Aus dem #cccamp19-Vortrag von @[email protected]: »Ethikrichtlinien für Künstliche Intelligenz? Wie wär's mit Gesetzen? – Wie die Industrie mit Debatten um "ethische KI" Zeit kauft«:

Selbstverpflichtungen der #KI-Industrie sind nachweislich wirkungslos.
