  1. North Carolina State University: New Attack Can Make AI ‘See’ Whatever You Want. “Researchers have demonstrated a new way of attacking artificial intelligence computer vision systems, allowing them to control what the AI ‘sees.’ The research shows that the new technique, called RisingAttacK, is effective at manipulating all of the most widely used AI computer vision systems.”

  2. I was interviewed by The Economist's Babbage podcast on their series, "The science that built AI" last month. My hour long conversation was edited to about six minutes!

    I am glad they edited/fit my conversation as taking the perspective that this big data, big compute driven deep-net approach is orthogonal to human/biological vision. And that, without incorporating biological principles (in this case, vision), autonomous visual navigation systems (i.e., self-driving cars) are unlikely and/or limited.

    Unfortunately, the podcast requires a subscription to The Economist (I too had to access it from my university account!). But if you do have access, let me know what you think!

  3. This article delves into the challenges of troublesome machine behavior in AI, particularly concerning externalized governance. Focusing on machine vision, it explores the potential of hacking as a concept, method, and ethic in resisting surveillant vision. The 'intuition machine shift' is discussed, emphasizing a move from hacking sensorial devices to tricking intellectual seeing.

  4. This article delves into the intersection of machine vision, face recognition, and affect in Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "Klara and the Sun" (2021). It explores how the novel portrays cognitive and emotional acts through 'face reading' and examines the affective dilemmas of technological face recognition using Bolen's 'kinesic imagination' and Ngai's 'ugly feelings.'

    "#SenseTime is an #ArtificialIntelligence firm that, until April 2019, provided surveillance software to #Chinese authorities that was used to monitor and track #Uighurs; it had been flagged numerous times as having potential links to human-rights violations. It seems the combination of my name and face was not only used to optimize #MachineVision for #RacialClassification, but that this optimization was swiftly put into practice to identify and track members of an ethnic minority in #China. The fact of my existence on the internet was enough to turn my face into a tool of literal #discrimination wielded by an actually existing digital autocracy. [...] We interviewed [...] S., a student who did an internship in an ai start-up that offered personalized luxury travel recommendations to the better-off. His company’s communication strategy emphasized automation, with a recommender system allegedly based on users’ preferences extracted from social media. But behind the scenes, it outsourced all its processes to micro-providers in #Madagascar. It did no #MachineLearning"

  7. Thank you to all who joined us for an engaging Day 1 of the Future of Interface workshop! The discussions on #AI, #VR, #DBI, #MachineVision, and roundtable were insightful and thought-provoking. We can’t wait to dive further into #accessibility tomorrow! #FoI2023 #technology

  8. @CrackedWindscreen @kentindell The #MachineLearning community needs a major reckoning in many ways (i.e. privacy, bias), but one of the *major* things that is almost never discussed is systems safety as it pertains to direct, physical harm.

    For example, it is absolutely absurd that #Karpathy and others at #Tesla could basically use #IEEE #CVPR as a platform for #autonowashing disguised as legitimate ML and #MachineVision work.

    No wonder the media stands no chance in grasping the real issues.
