The take-home message from the debate on Bing AI is not how easily AI now passes the Turing Test.
It is how easily *we* fail it: Falsely perceiving AI as human conscious intelligence.
The reason is a well-established psychological effect: Hyperactive agency detection.

Mike Wooldridge @wooldridgemike puts his finger squarely on the big reason why #AI researchers should take "informing public about #AI" seriously. #AAAI2021
(Certainly resonates with my own reasons for my modest involvement.. bit.ly/39SkWnS bit.ly/2Sy2GnE )

My impression is that some folks use machine learning to try to "solve" problems of artificial scarcity. Eg: we won't give everyone the healthcare they need, so let's use ML to decide who to deny.
Question: What have you read about this? What examples have you seen?

Except we accept that people might be wrong but with algorithms you just get:

“Biased algorithms are easier to fix than biased people”.
But, in some cases, I don't see these as entirely different problems. Sometimes fixing a biased algorithm first requires fixing biased people.

With the last week's launch of Google Cloud’s Explainable AI, the conversation around #ExplainableAI has accelerated.
But it begs the questions - Should Google be explaining their own AI algorithms? Who should be doing the explaining? /thread

"While the first wave of algorithmic accountability focuses on improving existing systems, a second wave of research has asked whether they should be used at all—and, if so, who gets to govern them." @FrankPasquale lpeblog.org/2019/11/25/the-s…

I’m happy to announce my lab is working on AI+Climate Change. Climate Change is one of humanity’s most pressing problems & the Tech community must help. I’m still exploring more projects. If you want to help, let me know here: deeplearning.ai/climate #EarthDay – at Stanford, CA

Julia + TPUs = fast and easily expressible ML computations!
Our new paper today: arxiv.org/abs/1810.09868. Compile your #julialang code straight to @Google's #CloudTPU. Must go faster! We'll have an (alpha quality) repo up soon for people to start playing with this.

Uddannelse betaler sig - både for den enkelte og for samfundet. Derfor giver det ingen mening, når @regeringDK igen og igen udsulter uddannelserne gennem milliardbesparelser. #uddpol #dkpol
