This week on AI Human Story: the impossible choice framed as inevitable - mass surveillance or child safety.

Generative AI is being weaponised in the darkest corners of the internet. AI-generated child sexual abuse material surged 1,325% from 2023 to 2024. The world wants to stop it, but the proposed cure means watching everyone.
The EU's "Chat Control" would force platforms to scan all private messages, URLs, pictures, and videos before encryption.
The promise: catch predators. #ai #csam #ChatControl #aihumanstory

Today, a fellow computer science student told me he feels guilty when using ChatGPT and others, as if he’s not really learning anymore. As if he were cheating.

It made me pause.

I’m not sure what I think yet: whether AI tools make us learn less, or just make us learn differently.

@andijah I don't know anything about music, and I've tried to sing many times because using my voice makes me feel good.
But what I know about is to be a generalist and not becoming the superstar of only one thing. And I also know how people/ peers are so judgmental because they project their own wants and fears.
If you feel good, keep doing it....

An uplifting note—
It’s what LinkedIn folks do,
So I joined the dance,
And shared a little light too.
(GPT poem fits with authenticity of the linkedIn posts I read) 🤣

@Tom_Huth @GossiTheDog spot on, I think they thought of that who is going to buy, shifting from small computers to huge data centres, and from small systems to massive robot factories. We are not the customers anymore. We are the materials, even our thoughts are material.

The Internet Watch Foundation reports a staggering 380% increase in #AIgenerated #child sexual abuse images in 2024, with most falling under the most severe “category A” classification. The watchdog warns that these images are becoming “significantly more realistic,” posing serious challenges for detection and law enforcement. This alarming trend underscores the darker side of AI’s capabilities and the urgent need for regulatory measures. #ethics #ai #FutureOfHumanAgency #AIisahumanstory

Imagine your computer remembering everything you’ve ever done, every site, every document, every app. 👀
That’s Microsoft’s new “#recall feature in Windows 11: an #ai tool that constantly takes #screenshots and stores them locally, letting you search your #past activity like a #photographic #memory.
#microsoft promises strong encryption, user controls to exclude sensitive apps or sites, and says the data stays on your device, unless you choose to back it up. Do you think they "really" will?
