“They saw the internet coming. Literally.”

At Vancouver AI #16, Gabriel George Sr. stood in a room shaped like a Coast Salish woven hat and shared prophecy, history, and deep ancestral code. His ancestors saw longhouses rising into the sky. A web covering the world. A spirit returning when “the eagle has landed.” Watch the full invocation — part ceremony, part instruction set for the future.

🌿 How AI’s environmental harms (e.g., resource extraction, e-waste) disproportionately affect African women.
🌍 The exclusion of African ethical perspectives in AI ethics debates.
🗣️ Ubuntu & feminist ethics as frameworks for justice, relationality, & sustainability.

It just came out that Meta downloaded via Torrent over 80 terabytes of books taken from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-Library to train their AI models, and nobody is guilty. In contrast, in 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded just 70 GB of academic articles from JSTOR (only 0.0854% of what Meta took) and faced $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison. Unable to bear the situation, he took his own life in 2013.

Daily Inspiration: "It's the types of crime that we can't yet imagine that we should be worried about!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Later today, I'll be doing a talk for the senior leadership team of the RCMP - that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - on the future impact of AI. I'll have a few hundred police and civilian officials in the room and will take a pretty broad but intense look into the future. I'll be covering both the opportunity for the use of AI for crimefighting and public safety responsibilities, but will also take a look at the fact that the acceleration of AI leads to an accelerated risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist!

Another way to put a spin on this? It’s the risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist! That’s the future of policing!

(And yes, I've had a little fun with AI in this post. Look carefully, and that's me in uniform!)

The story of AI in policing is a complex one, involving many new opportunities and new skills to battle comprehensive new criminal risks - and one that is wrapped up in a lot of controversy when it comes to privacy and constitutional rights. And there is no doubt that these issues are going to become even more complex as things speed up.

AI is revolutionizing how businesses operate, driving efficiency and reducing human error. Theo Schnitfink's article highlights the transformative power of AI in everyday workflows. While I'm excited about these advancements, I believe it’s crucial to balance AI adoption with ethical considerations and comprehensive training.
