When AGI Goes Wrong: Who Pays the Price?

The drive to create “trustworthy AI” is gaining momentum. Governments, industry, and civil society are all rushing to define ethical guidelines …

When AI makes decisions, who's really in the driver's seat? Ethics or algorithms? #AIEthics #AlgorithmicAccountability #TechPhilosophy

🔍 Our latest whitepaper delves into the critical realm of #AlgorithmicAccountability Reporting (AAR) on AI systems.

It's crucial for journalists to adopt strategic investigative approaches when dealing with opaque systems, ensuring transparency and uncovering the hidden layers.

🧩 Our teams share 4 proven methods of investigating blackbox systems - and the AAR stories they published by using them. ⬇

The #AlgorithmicAccountability Act of 2023 was just introduced yesterday! 🎉

Here’s a love letter I wrote to the particular strategies showcased in that bill: https://posts.bcavello.com/why-im-still-hyped-about-the-algorithmic-accountability-act/

And here’s a toot thread from my new mastodon account talking about it: https://mastodon.publicinterest.town/@b_cavello/111109500222612481
