Machine learning is increasingly being used globally by governments and companies to make or recommend decisions that have far-reaching effects on individuals, organizations, and society. Join us this Thursday where we cover the ACM TPC Principles https://www.acm.org/public-policy/ustpc/hottopics/algorithmic-responsibility

Join a panel discussion on algorithmic responsibility in the new machine age

Algorithmic systems, often based on artificial intelligence, are increasingly being used globally by governments and companies to make or recommend decisions that have far-reaching effects on individuals, organizations, and society. While such systems hold the promise of making society more equitable, inclusive, and efficient, those results do not automatically flow from automation. Like decisions made by humans, machine-made ones can also fail to respect the rights of individuals and result in harmful discrimination and other negative effects. Join a panel of ACM experts—Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Lorena Jaume-Palasi, Jeanna Matthews, and Alejandro Saucedov—moderated by Technology Policy Council Chair Jim Hendler on Thursday 12/1 from 3–4:30pm EST for a transatlantic deep dive into the Council’s brand new Joint Statement on Principles for Responsible Algorithmic Systems and an exploration of the legal, ethical, and scientific implications of life in the new machine age.

Chartbook #176 on protests in China. Some threads I have found useful on the protests, likely regime response and the very real dilemma of Beijing's policy. Zero covid is bad but so are the alternatives.

Chartbook #176 The protests in China - a reading list

A round up of reading and twitter threads I have fond useful to understand the stakes in the wave of protests around China triggered by news of the fire-deaths in Urumqi, Xijniang. For news and images from China follow @whyyoutouzhele who is one of the most trusted sources of inside reports and footage from the protests.

Today England play the USA in a historic match-up that needs little explanation.

To mark the occasion, we retrace relations between the two countries over the past 200 years: from the War of 1812, through to Beatlemania and James Bond.

I don't think most people realise that a lot of our biggest/most prestigious HE institutions get more income from non-EU tuition fees than UK fees.

“Wow, I sure hope no UK universities are over-leveraged anchor institutions that are dependent on foreign tuition to keep the lights on.”
