@olivia The petition is almost worth signing for its use of the Oxford comma alone...
@mttaggart Sorry, but this is something I can only comment on in meme-form.
Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia

@earthworm @emilymbender @alex @parismarx @aral @ali @milamiceli here’s more: @olivia & @Iris ; I don’t qualify due to no PhD , but here’s my work too : https://wiki.techinc.nl/User:Becha/AI_is_ecocide

@olivia Quite. Shouldn't uncritically adopting 'any' unproven technology be anathema to academia?

An amazing text about / against AI in academia , by/ with comrades from @ScientistRebellion_NL

Critical AI Literacy: Beyond hegemonic perspectives on sustainability

How can universities resist being coopted and corrupted by the AI industries’ agendas?

Sustainability Dispatch

Hello & HAPPY FRIDAY, as promised an open letter by my lovely colleagues and myself. Everybody, feel free to sign this even if you are not NL-based and ‼️ share ‼️ (anonymous signature is poss):

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia

https://openletter.earth/open-letter-stop-the-uncritical-adoption-of-ai-technologies-in-academia-b65bba1e

 updated our (@andrea) connectionist preprint with some improvements due to great feedback on some points, e.g. refinement of the point on how concepts like "neurobiological plausibility" and so-called "bridge laws" are sadly nonsense (see extracts below from section 2.1, and PDF for full: https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/eaf2z)
‼️ new preprint out with @andrea on connectionism: the framework that uses artificial neural networks to model human cognition: we split it into Modern and Classical (see figure) to show how the (meta)theoretical commitments (see table) changed dramatically after 2010. read more here; I am too tired (unrelated reasons) to say more right now, but will return soon: https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/eaf2z

The amazing @Iris, Marcela S., Barbara M. & I build towards (sadly not obv to all):

"Universities are not spokespersons for the AI industry. On the contrary, we need to resist being coopted and corrupted by the industries’ agendas."
