News Summary: Guardian Exposes AI-Powered Publishing Scams; Grammarly Sued over Expert Review Feature

Naughty AI has generated (pun intended) a lot of column inches this week. I want to start with a really important longform piece in the Guardian, which shows that mainstream media is catching on to the most obviously predatory use of the new technology.

Banning TikTok Won’t Keep Us Safe: Julia Angwin Critiques Bipartisan Attack on Chinese Firm

A bipartisan group of senators has introduced the RESTRICT Act, which would allow the federal government to potentially ban technology from countries the U.S. considers to be adversaries, including China. Last Thursday, congressmembers grilled TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew during a five-hour hearing on the app’s ties to the Chinese government, its data practices and its effects on children’s mental health. Critics say this China-focused scrutiny largely ignores similar privacy concerns over the use of U.S.-owned apps and social media platforms. We hear more from Julia Angwin, an investigative journalist and contributing opinion writer at The New York Times, whose latest guest essay is titled “How to Fix the TikTok Problem.”

It's great to start reading of #HarryFrankfurt's work on #Bullshit.^1

I just learned of it while reading a conversation between #JuliaAngwin and #ArvindNarayanan^2about #AISnakeOil. It keeps making me think of #NeilPostman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, and marketing... lack of humility, "irrational exuberance"..

I find it troubling that journalists let a single ad-funded business take over and centralize this function, and took so long to realize it was a bad idea :/

> Twitter has been my second home for more than a decade. It’s where I post articles, read articles by other journalists, and keep tabs on researchers and newsmakers. Long ago, Twitter replaced the newswires—AP, Reuters, etc.—that I used to keep open in a tab on my computer desktop.

Transparenz-Crowdsourcing: Gemeinsam den digitalen Schattenwahlkampf ausleuchten

Parteien und Social-Media-Plattformen geben nur ungern Auskunft darüber, wie datenbasiertes Targeting im Wahlkampf eingesetzt wird. Mit einer neuen Browser-Erweiterung können Facebook-NutzerInnen nun für mehr Transparenz sorgen.
