This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

Who is #responsibleAI responsible to if the models (social and technical) for evaluating the presence or absence of responsibility do not include the viewpoints and experiences of those who are subjects of these systems?

We simply need to move beyond 1. Purely technical models for responsibility and 2. Unrepresentative cohorts of evaluators who unilaterally define 'responsible'.

UN Human Rights Chief Türk issues open letter to Twitter’s Elon Musk

GENEVA (5 November 2022) – UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk on Saturday issued an open letter to Elon Musk, Chief Executive Officer at Twitter, urging him to “ensure human rights are central to the management of Twitter” under Musk’s leadership. The letter follows reports of the sacking of Twitter’s entire human rights team and all but two of the ethical AI team – not “an encouraging start,” said Türk.

In 2017 I was contracted by the Royal Society, writing case studies & drafting the report 'Data Management & Use: Governance in the 21c'

I was asked to write on the DfE National Pupil Database as an eg of good data gov. I found v little good to say: governed terribly; disproportionate; inaccurate; insecurely given to private cos.

The working group spiked my report for controversy.

The ICO now says a single misuse instance justfies a ÂŁ10m fine. I should've been bolder.
