Recent commentary
Where is the university ethics committee that has stepped up to the plate and said "There's no ethical way to use Generative AI"?
It's bizarre that 'transparency' remains part of Responsible AI narratives. This is the most mask-off moment in decades; the technopolitical hegemony is very transparent about the fact that we & the rest of the biosphere are disposable accessories to their desire for domination.
Advocating for "AI sovereignty" is another way to call for a war economy.
Seems like agentic AI's capacity to really f*ck things up isn't limited to deleting your personal $HOME directory.
FAccT and its predecessor FAT/ML are very poorly acronymed gatherings, as the point of their algorithmic objects of study is, in a specific technopolitical sense, to drain Fairness, distance Accountability and misdirect Transparency.
