The briefing concludes that standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, depend on mass invasions of privacy by design, and are fundamentally incompatible with [International Human Rights Law]. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems, including where such systems are identified as exacerbating existing inequalities or creating new forms of discrimination.

Unlawful by design: Exposing the human rights costs of generative AI - Amnesty International

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 […]

🌈 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨

If you’re part of the Australian LGBTIQA+ community, or a friend or ally, PLEASE sign & share this petition URGENTLY!

Hands Off Our Protections

Equality Australia #petition to MPs

✍️ Sign & share –> https://equalityaustralia.org.au/hands-off-our-protections/

Our #LGBTIQA+ community is facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years.

Right now, we are facing multiple bills that would strip protections from #trans people and erode Australia’s anti-discrimination laws more broadly.

Once again we need to fight for our rights and protections. If the shitshow that’s happening in the US right now is teaching us anything, it’s that legal protections are never completely settled and can be removed or reduced at any time if the people who hate us are able to mobilise and drag us back to the 1950s.

Please sign the Equality Australia petition calling on federal MPs to stand with us – and share it widely with your friends, family, and communities on every platform you can.

Urgent WEL alert - abortion could be re-criminalised in NSW

If you are in NSW (or even if you’re not) psend a letter to NSW Legislative Council MPs - BEFORE 6th June.

Thanks to our allied feminist activists from Fair Agenda, you can tell MPs how the people behind this terrible Bill see it as a first step to recriminalising abortion in NSW, that the Bill especially targets women in our multi-cultural communities, and that it is based on out of date and flawed evidence.

Stop the attack on Abortion Care in NSW Campaign

MLC John Ruddick has launched a new attack on NSW's abortion law, which he says he hopes will become: “The beginning of reversing the tide against radical abortion laws that we currently have in New South Wales.” The bill is expected to be debated in the NSW Legislative Assembly next Wednesday June 3. The bill purports to prevent sex selective abortion. But what it actually does is threaten doctors and nurses with up to five years in jail if they are found to have provided abortion care for sex selective purposes. But when the sex of a fetus can be determined from 10 weeks gestation, this effectively creates a situation where doctors could face the prospect of criminal penalties if they can’t prove a patient wasn’t seeking an abortion for sex-selective purposes. If passed, this change will result in less doctors willing to provide abortion care after 10 weeks of pregnancy; more interrogation of patients; and denial of critical care for those who can’t prove a negative. We need to send a clear message to Members of the Legislative Council that the NSW community opposes attempts to restrict and criminalise abortion care. Can you make sure they see a wave of community opposition in their inbox before they're asked to vote on this Bill?
