#Unlawful by design: Exposing the human rights costs of generative AI

"This briefing examines how standalone generative #AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, are in conflict with international human rights law (IHRL) and standards through their design, development and deployment. While these technologies promise sophisticated automation and efficiency, they rely on data collection and model training practices that abuse privacy rights, enable discrimination, and threaten freedom of expression and thought. Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, depend on mass invasions of privacy by design, and are fundamentally incompatible with #IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a #prohibition of such systems."

La «democratización» es un eufemismo de vulneración de la privacidad y de robo de la propiedad intelectual. La ilegalidad de la IA generativa no es una opinión, es una realidad que Amnistía Internacional documenta en su último informe y que reafirma lo que otros muchos colectivos y asociaciones hemos sostenido desde su irrupción en 2022.

"The Department of Government Efficiency’s cancellation last year of the majority of ffederal #humanities #grants, including to several #Jewish projects, was #unlawful and #unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

In her 143-page ruling, U.S. District #Judge #ColleenMcMahon called out the agency created by #President #DonaldTrump specifically for its targeting of Jewish projects, including #Holocaust #research.

“At a time when the specter of #antisemitism has reemerged from the shadows, for our Government to deem a project about #Jewishwomen disfavored because it centered on ‘Jewish cultures’ and ‘female’ voices is deeply troubling,” wrote #McMahon, who was appointed by President #BillClinton in 1998. She was referring specifically to a canceled “project on Jewish #women subjected to slave labor during the Holocaust.”

‘He added that Ansari suspects that “a key purpose, if not the primary purpose, of the stop was to obtain access to his phone”.

I have no liking for ‘Tommy Robinson’ or Laxely or whatever his name is, but I did sympathise when he was stopped on a pretext that was clearly aimed at accessing his phone. The court threw it out quite rightly.
