‼️The Commission's guidelines on the #AIAct's prohibited practices are finally out. A whopping 140 pages long. A lot of information to digest. The guidelines on the AI system definition are not ready yet, but will be out 'soon'. https://t.co/fiP0atuskS

These guidelines provide an overview of AI practices that are deemed unacceptable due to their potential risks to European values and fundamental rights.

@FT see @FrankPasquale on key issues raised by decisions that cannot be justified because their explanation is based on statistics rather than reasons - thus ignoring the constitutive practices that define the nature of law and the Rule of Law

Legal AI is reaching deep into the workplace via @FT But much of this is PR and many of these systems create new types of problems that disrupt the Rule of Law, check out https://t.co/4rwho9o2vL

Technology allows companies to automate drafting of many contracts rather than relying on lawyers

Facebook: "We expect these AIs to actually...exist on our platforms, kind of in the same way that accounts do... They’ll have bios and profile pictures and be able to generate and share content powered by AI on the platform" Social media: by bots for bots https://t.co/N6UfOC540c

Meta says it will integrate AI-generated characters into Facebook and Instagram with their own user accounts.

Happy New Year and take this simple lesson to heart when considering predictive legal AI, the work of @JudgyLinguist is key here
This 👇 is how the AI miracle sausage is made. 90+% of all these amazing result is good old data leakage.

Researchers should understand that by running experiments on a model/system they have no clue what data it was trained on nullifies results because they can't correct & control for data contamination - test data being present in the training set.

This fallacy explains so much AI hype. The barriers to doing real-world tasks efficiently are rarely computational — they are usually physical, economic, social and political. So you could make the computational part 10x faster yet make the overall system only 1% more efficient.
“Today, Al-powered chatbots can book a flight to London while riding the NYC subway. But the subway was built early last century, and the flight will take longer than in the 70s. The infrastructure of the world beyond our smartphones is deteriorating” @ByrneHobart @TobiasAHuber

My new case study published today explores behavioral monitoring and profiling in the workplace, with a focus on indoor location and desk occupancy tracking. It's part of my larger project on employee surveillance. Read the full 25-page study here: https://t.co/qkA7REbkuW

The network technology giant Cisco offers to turn Wi-Fi access points installed in offices and other buildings into a system that tracks the location of employees, customers, smartphones, laptops and other devices for a wide range of purposes. I took a deep dive ⬇️ [thread]

Weekend read: new article by @Hendrickx_Vic on how the duty of judges to state reasons can be affected when relying on #AI⬇️
New publication 🚀 Happy to share my first PhD article “The Judicial Duty to State Reasons in the Age of Automation?” It explores how #GenAI in courts may affect this duty and its underlying normative goal of legitimacy of judicial decision-making.⚖️ 📚 https://t.co/ORV5r2IK2z

Yet there’s far more to worry about with OpenAI. The New York Times reported last week that the company will bring in $3.7bn of revenue in 2024, yet lose $5bn. In short, OpenAI spends $2.35 to make $1 - and growth is already slowing down. https://t.co/R88snKhgLN

New open access article on the labor behind AI systems! Drawing on a case study, I examine how technologists and data workers construct and morally justify stark inequalities, collaborating to "clean up" the morally questionable status of data work.
