Tonight I was on a panel about AI and media. I ended by referencing AI’s ecological footprint as reported on by @themarkup: 1/2 a liter of water per conversation!

The Secret Water Footprint of AI Technology – The Markup

A conversation with Shaolei Ren

Diese Woche war #KünstlicheIntelligenz wieder mal in aller Munde: #Midjourney, #FutureOfLifeInstitute, …

Es gab da z.B. einen offenen Brief, dessen Inhalt auf den ersten Blick sinnvoll klingen mag, der sich jedoch beim genaueren Hinschauen als Augenwischerei entpuppt.

Als Forscherin am #HIIG habe ich natürlich eine informierte Meinung dazu. @netzpolitik_feed zitiert beispielsweise meine Kritik an der Strohmann-Gefahr „Superintelligenz“ (#AGI).

Offener Brief zu KI: Opfer des Hypes

Zahlreiche KI-Expert:innen fordern eine Entwicklungspause für neue KI-Modelle. Es brauche zunächst Sicherheitsstandards – auch um die Menschheit vor dem Schlimmsten zu bewahren. Das ist in mehrfacher Hinsicht

The last weeks have been very busy, and my profile update reflects an important part as to why:

I’m thrilled to have joined the University of Fribourg as a Senior Researcher & Lecturer in STS, responsible for organizing a new interdisciplinary Master „Digital Society“ and conducting my own research

I’m also happy to be able to remain at the HIIG, albeit in a limited capacity, until the end of the #ShapingAI project.

@npseaver This pic from three days ago seems to go well with it, adjacently… (my most intimate social feed for humans still seems to be instagram, where this pic is from, though it’s not due to support for the company).
Congratulations @npseaver, your book arrived today! Reminiscing of Tamper, and very happy to see this out. Can’t wait to read, cite and assign it.

The amazing #LauraLiebig, who is a phd researcher in our #ShapingAI project, has led a study on #AIpolicy on the subnational level. We explain it briefly (880 words!) on the #HIIG blog.

The title hints at our finding that German Bundesländer tend to claim #AI as theirs based on their economic identity.

AI is also discussed at the subnational level – all German states have published an AI strategy and are pursuing different goals.

#event Am 15. Dezember bin ich an der #UniversityOfBern und darf auf einen Vortrag von #NulaFrei reagieren. Eine grosse Ehre für mich als Nichtjuristin :)

Thema: Diskriminierung in und durch #socialmedia

Ein wichtiges Thema! Ich freue mich sehr.
