Annotators feel like the 'forgotten children' of maching learning AI. Fascinating talk on the world-making and the labour of annotation in news by Nanna Bonde Thylstrup and Jannie Møller Hartley in #AoIR2024 AI & Journalism panel
The amazing #AoIR2024 talks continue! Sangeet Kumar's 'ChatGPT’s ingestion of news content' presentation highlights argument that adding source links to ChatGPT / competing AI chatbots content is counterproductive for generating traffic to economically struggling news sites - the link actually legitismises ChatGPT's content as trustworthy thus keeping users on the chatbot/ reinforcing OpenAI's power
Great talk from Bernhard Rieder @riederb on AI as general purpose technology - ‘AGI is not about replicating human intelligence, its about creating scalable, widely deployable production systems’, such an important point #AoIR2024 'THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF AI AS PLATFORM'
Fantastic panel this am at #AIoR2024 - 'The political economy of AI as a platform' explaining market concentration/ big tech dominance of platform/ cloud AI. Appreciating calls for more emperical research on understanding contextual usage - my paper 'CHEATGPT? THE REALITIES OF AUTOMATED AUTHORSHIP IN THE UK PR AND COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRIES' may be of interest to those looking for context-specific usage of gen text AI https://www.conftool.org/aoir2024/index.php?page=browseSessions&form_session=483&presentations=show
