1/3 This education software generates "rubrics, and exit tickets" for teachers to use in grading. It gauges strength of essay intro based on specific scored criteria.
This is one of countless examples of abstraction of subjective analysis, encoded in automated systems.

Totally thrilled to join @WHOSTP at a time when public values are at the center of every discussion about tech and data. Such a privilege to join @amac46 @DeniceRoss46 & the rest of the CTO team as @POTUS doubled down on commitments to equity & privacy for all Americans

Around 2,000 computer vision researchers at @cvpr this year were from Asia, almost 500 from South Korea. But as cv researchers resisted ethics push at #CVPR2022 in NOLA, the @FAccTConference in Seoul the same week pushed for ethics in AI. protocol.com/enterprise/ai-c…

Love today's @JoyofTech comic which was inspired by my story on controversial emotional AI for virtual sales meetings. It's pretty funny actually! geekculture.com/joyoftech/in…

"Emotion AI" -- controversial AI that attempts to detect people's moods based on facial expressions, tone of voice and what they say -- is becoming productized. @Zoom tells me it could end up in your virtual meeting soon. Others already sell it. My latest:

I’m so sorry you feel that way! I try to bring out the views of respected scientists and epidemiologists who are not reported in mainstream media — I believe that all sides need to be heard. – at Toronto, Ontario

As startups providing AI fairness audits get funded, “What we really should look for is big [consulting] players offering that as part of their expensive service packages. That’s going to be happening more under the radar," says @mona_sloane - My story: protocol.com/enterprise/ai-a…

We're at the beginning stages of a paradigm shift with vehicles: more tech, more data processing, more cameras, & more AI. Important to distinguish b/w the different tech & the purposes + scrutinize tech designed to detect & analyze complex mental states. protocol.com/enterprise/driv…

Pandemic tech as surveillance? My reporting reveals why the City of Seattle's privacy chief OK'd thermal imaging cameras that can enable facial recognition to check body temperature at city buildings, and why in Oakland, they said no, "Just get a forehead temperature checker!"
In our first episode of the City Surveillance Watch podcast, @KateKayeReports reports on the latest smart safe city surveillance trend: pandemic tech.

Portland city council just unanimously passed the most radical ban on facial recognition anywhere. I've been covering this thing since it was just an idea bouncing around city hall over a year ago. I'll be on it going forward, through implementation, too. onezero.medium.com/portland-…
