Dr. Casey FieslerThe reason that Open AI emphasizing regulation for *future* technology bugs me is because I've been using science fiction to talk about tech regulation for years (e.g. https://www.howwegettonext.com/black-mirror-light-mirror-teaching-technology-ethics-through-speculation/), but try to be really careful in pointing out that near future preparation is important, and thinking through far future in an educational setting is a cool thought exercise, but that it's not a good use of our time to be actually writing laws for the robot wars.
Your weekly reminder that I'm compiling a running list of #AIEthicsNews - honestly my summary is just going to start being "more of the same." Though it's very interesting to think about how real problems are intersecting with hype.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
CEO pay is out of control. Just look at Amazon.
The company’s chief executive made $212.7 million in compensation in 2021 while the typical worker received $32,855.
That's a ratio of 6,474 to 1.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Yup, crypto's totally cool...
