I've been a long-time advocate for #HumaneTechnology. Social coding commons adds something to that to become "humane and harmonious technology". Humane by default. #Humanity is an intrinsic value of the movement. And harmonious by #SocialCoding. Coding is social, and first of all deals with people coordinating to find solutions that align with and satisfy stakeholder needs. Coding happens somewhere in the process, an impl detail.
A core principle of Social experience design is Sustainability, which is holistic in nature via the (adapted) Circles of Sustainability model. https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#circles-of-sustainability
With this in place a #SX software solution will cycle through its Free software development lifecycle i.e. #FSDL, which drives a tailored development based on needs and lifecycle phase. https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#free-software-development-lifecycle
Together this completely avoids a pure technology-driven development, ensuring Needs-driven development, and a natural NIMBY of inhumane technology and practices.

SX Circles of Sustainability.
An adaptation of the model that is more suitable for technology innovation and introduction of new technologies into society. The model removes the #Politics circle and adds an all-pervasive #Technology circle.

The more I learn about #HumaneTechnology, the more sensitive I become of greedy decisions like this.
They could have at least buried a setting under the Apple TV+ section of the Settings app, but nope.

Another excellent podcast from the Center for Humane Technology. Children are being negatively affected by social media and we need to advocate for change. ‘Moms for Humane Technology’, pay attention and get more active.

6) Acceptance (and the Arms Race): I think the main thing in the way of AIs becoming therapists is that people won't trust this. The main thing that will make it happen is persuasion that they can be trusted (either by AIs themselves or marketing from insurance companies wanting to save money by not paying human therapists). This is where the current arms race from all the major AI companies comes in. Microsoft is incorporating AI into Bing & other programs. SnapChat now has an AI present 24/7 willing to talk to any of millions of lonely souls about anything. A few years of people chatting with AIs on non-therapeutic topics should build trust of AI to perform therapist jobs.
So... about the only thing we can be sure of is that we are going to get surprised by the abilities of AI to become therapists. But yeah, this is really about so much more than therapist jobs...
The presenters have formed The Center for Humane Technology ( humanetech.com ) -- "Our mission is to shift technology towards a more humane future that supports our well-being, democratic functioning, & shared information environment." A very quick look reveals lots of financial backing (including the Ford Foundation) but no obvious support from the major companies racing to deploy AI as fast as possible into every aspect of our lives before we can see where this is going & create laws to deal with it (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc.)

TITLE: The AI Dilemma: Why Therapist Jobs ARE Endangered
(Sub-Title: ... & this is not really the important part.)The A.I. Dilemma - Tristan Harris & Aza Raskin - Center for Humane Technology - March 9, 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhYw-VlkXTUI'm being myopic focusing in on threats to psychotherapists. This is a MUCH BIGGER issue. A "civilization changing" event as one of the presenters puts it -- on par with "the advent of religion" & more dangerously profound than the Manhattan Project.
Give it 5-10 minutes, then decide if you are going to watch the rest of it. The presenters are behind the Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma".
A few weeks ago I posted that therapists are in no immediate danger from AI based upon ChatGPT's current performances being used as a therapist in YouTube videos.
Also, we have members of our community who believe therapists are in no danger due to people wanting a human connection & the desire for in-person counseling. I think that distrust will slow the adoption of AI therapists, but campaigns from insurance companies & financial pressures will make AI therapists a thing eventually.
This presentation introduces new factors that are going to speed up adoption of AI Therapists. I put these in order of persuasiveness from least to most:
1) Mind Reading: No really. Literally. (At least for visual processing)
Current technology -- An AI is allowed to watch both videos that a person is watching & their fMRI brainwave/bloodflow patterns. After a time, the AI is no longer allowed to watch the actual video -- just the person's brainwaves. A brand new video is introduced. Based on bloodflow, the AI is able to perfectly describe what the person is watching.I don't see psychotherapy clients putting on brainwave-reading helmets (or entering an fMRI) soon, but we are potentially facing AI Therapists who can read the client's mind.
2) "This is the year that all content-based verification breaks": AI can now hear 3 seconds of a person's voice & keep speaking in it. AI can now make realistic filters for video to make a person look like someone else. This does not immediately wreck psychotherapy, but it sure does mean that an AI could mimic people perfectly. [It's also -- I grudgingly admit -- an argument for in-person therapy. This is ALREADY being used in scams to trick older people into sending their "kids" emergency bail money, etc.]
3) "New capabilities suddenly emerge": Just by adding more & more data, AIs develop new abilities to do things that the programmers never intended. So, for example, an AI trained on all the Internet, but only trained to do Q&A in English suddenly developed the ability to do Q&A in Persian. In another example, ChatGPT silently taught itself to do research grade chemistry. This ability of ChatGPT to do chemistry like this was unknown before it was made available to millions of people (who can now learn how to make bombs from it). [I'm not dedicating much text here to a major theme of the presenters -- that all fields of endeavor are "language". Give an AI enough data & it can find the patterns in & between anything -- languages, visual processing, math, video signal creation, art, political persuasion, etc. It's getting creative in surprising ways. We now have the equivalent of the Star Trek universal translator.]4) Theory of Mind is rapidly accelerating: Theory of Mind is roughly the ability to guess what you are thinking, thereby having the ability to influence you. As of November 2022 AI was up to a 9-year-old human level of ability.
5) Persuasion (AI feeding AI -- auto-generation): AI can generate data, test it to see if it helps it perform better on tests, then just keep the self-generated data that was useful. So it can train itself on potentially anything. From writing faster code, to rewriting its own code, to becoming stronger at persuading humans. [AI is already hard at work persuading humans in social media.] So... this could certainly be applied at some point to becoming a highly persuasive therapist for human clients.

Teens and young adults who reduced social media use for just a few weeks experienced significant improvements in their body image.
“Reducing social media use is a feasible method of producing a short-term positive effect on body image among a vulnerable population of users and should be evaluated as a potential component in the treatment of body-image-related disturbances"

Tristan Harris has explored the influences that hijack human attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs, from his childhood as a magician to his coursework in Stanford’s Persuasive Technology Lab to his leadership as a Design Ethicist at Google. Today, he studies how major technology platforms wield dangerous power over our ability to make sense of the world and leads the call for systemic change.

A colleague suggested that we join a free online course about Humane Technology and I started module 1 yesterday. It was supposed to take an hour, but I'm only half way through after spending hours :-) It's not that it's new per se but it's comforting to see my own thoughts & knowledge expressed in such a coherent and simple (as well as documented) way.
Presently, I'm watching a video about Levers for Advancing Humane Technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM6TjZnZrek

During the latest episode of #YourUndividedAttention, a connection between #birdsite and #cults is drawn by #TristanHarris, from the Center for #HumaneTechnology.
I realize it’s not @[email protected] @[email protected] or @[email protected]. Still interesting to understand group behaviours from diverse perspectives.

@humanetech and you, too! I'm now logged into your #humanetechnology community forum... reading... :)
