Reminder: democracy depends on a commitment to truth. "South Africa withdrew its Draft National Artificial Intelligence Policy because the document cited fake research, created by AI." Similar cases have happened in the US, Australia, Canada, and EU. #AIEthics restofworld.org/…

New favorite (anti) AI book is @carissaveliz.bsky.social's PROPHECY. Two thirds of the way through and the philosophical zingers just do not stop! AGI to underground bunkers to Hannah Arendt on destruction is *chefs kiss* www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/759692...

So very grateful to Dr. Joy Buolamwini (@poetofcode.bsky.social) for giving a copy of #Prophecy to Pope Leo XIV! The work of @ajlunited.bsky.social is extraordinary, and Joy's own book, Unmasking AI, is a tour de force; any work on #AIEthics would be better for citing it. #Books #authors
