The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has just released a report on the "Use of new data sources for measuring international #migration". You can find the report at https://unece.org/statistics/publications/use-new-data-sources-measuring-international-migration.

The report has an accompanying "Database on Innovations in Migration Statistics" (DIMiS). This database currently includes 52 articles. I'm proud to have co-authored 12 of the articles included, the majority with @ezagheni. You can find the database at https://statswiki.unece.org/display/DIMiS.

and in English📢: we successfully argued that online proctoring of students w facial detection software can be discriminatory! 🎉🔥 The burden of proof now shifted and the university has to prove that Proctorio's software *is not* discriminatory. 1/ https://twitter.com/N_Appelman/status/1601130829643534336

Do you know who Shudu is? I just found out—she’s the first AI model. She’s been “hired” across the industry which means her creators, white men, NOT a Black woman, are the ones paid. And companies get to say they ran Black content without having to work with or hire Black people.

Look, if everyone is worried about students cheating on essays for AI, instructors can just cheat right back.

I asked OpenAI to give me an essay question & make a rubric for grading. I had GPT-3 actually write the essay.

I then had the OpenAI grade the essay & give comments. ✅
