Copied from other areas… Is this the best we can do?

Regulators release 10 principles for good machine learning practice

Regulators from the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom unveiled 10 principles to guide the development of good machine learning practice for medical devices.

The principles are meant to be used to drive the adoption of good practices that have been proven in other sectors, to help tailor those practices so that they are applicable to medical technology, and to create new practices specific to the health care sector.



Does this help?

A beginner’s guide to AI: Ethics

Welcome to Neural’s beginner’s guide to AI. This multi-part feature should provide you with a very basic understanding of what AI is, what it can do, and how it works. The guide contains articles on (in order published) neural networks, computer vision, natural language processing, algorithms, artificial general intelligence, the difference between video game AI and real AI, and the difference between human and machine intelligence.



Apparently they do not record these lectures…

Scholar Kate Crawford speaks on the social implications of AI technology

In conversation with political theorist Wendy Brown GS ’83, prominent artificial intelligence (AI) scholar Kate Crawford spoke about the environmental, moral, and social dimensions of AI as a technology of data and physical extraction, including her thoughts on the technology’s future.

The conversation drew on Crawford’s latest book, “The Atlas of AI: Power, Politics and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence,” and covered the role of AI in a capitalist framework, its inherent biases, and efforts to democratize the technology.

… Crawford addressed three of her book’s eight chapters: “Earth,” “Labor,” and “Data.” Speaking to the forms of human labor needed to make current AI and the increasing tendency to treat humans like robots through AI, Crawford critiqued the application of artificial intelligence to social institutions like education and healthcare.

Giant, free index to world’s research papers released online

Nature – Catalogue of billions of phrases from 107 million papers could ease computerized searching of the literature. In a project that could unlock the world’s research papers for easier computerized analysis, an American technologist has released online a gigantic index of the words and short phrases contained in more than 100 million journal articles — including many paywalled papers. The catalogue, which was released on 7 October and is free to use, holds tables of more than 355 billion words and sentence fragments listed next to the articles in which they appear. It is an effort to help scientists use software to glean insights from published work even if they have no legal access to the underlying papers, says its creator, Carl Malamud. He released the files under the auspices of Public Resource, a non-profit corporation in Sebastopol, California that he founded. Malamud says that because his index doesn’t contain the full text of articles, but only sentence snippets up to five words long, releasing it does not breach publishers’ copyright restrictions on the re-use of paywalled articles. However, one legal expert says that publishers might question the legality of how Malamud created the index in the first place…”
