How does my AI see me?
Should AI be used to classify humans? An AI researcher at USC says it's reductive and ethically dubious
… There's been a long history of using AI for classification tasks like emotion recognition, and automated detection of race, gender, sexuality, and even criminality that goes back decades. In my book "Atlas of AI," I go into this history to trace the ways companies have used these techniques in contexts like policing and targeted advertising. But there is no scientific consensus that these approaches are valid at all. Classifying people in this way assumes that gender, race, and sexuality are biological and visible from the face. That, as we know, simply isn't true. These approaches are grounded on the premise that biology is destiny, where our faces become our fate. I call this a 'phrenological impulse' - the desire to categorize people's character based on appearance.
The perfect stocking stuffer?

Hands On With Flipper Zero, the Hacker Tool Blowing Up on TikTok
ACROSS THE US, countless buildings, from government offices to your next hotel room door, are protected by RFID-controlled locks. On a recent trip to my office, I passed nearly 20 of these keyless entry systems, which are among the most pervasive in the world. But a playful palm-sized gadget with a Tamagotchi-like interface can likely thwart the locks on many of these doors.
The $200 device is called Flipper Zero, and it’s a portable pen-testing tool designed for hackers of all levels of technical expertise. The tool is smaller than a phone, easily concealable, and is stuffed with a range of radios and sensors that allow you to intercept and replay signals from keyless entry systems, Internet of Things sensors, garage doors, NFC cards, and virtually any other device that communicates wirelessly in short ranges. For example, in just seconds, I used the Flipper Zero to seamlessly clone the signal of an office RFID badge tucked safely inside my wallet.
