Would you trust a "lawyer bot" with your legal needs? The @wsj asked today in a story feat. @rcalo (@UWSchoolofLaw) and @joshuabrowder (@DoNotPayLaw). It also quotes my 2018 @HastingsLJ article, "Ethical Issues in Robo-Lawyering." #AI #LegalTech @GonzagaLaw

A flagship artificial intelligence system designed to predict gun and knife violence in the UK before it happens had serious flaws that made it unusable, local police have admitted. The error led to large drops in accuracy. via @WIREDUK

This @wsj piece tells an alluring story: Covid means more advanced robotics in warehouses, and big companies win. ⁦@erikbryn⁩ and I tell a different story ⁦@mitsmr⁩ in Sept, based on 1.5 years of nationwide field research. Stay tuned...

Researchers are teaching machines to program themselves in an effort to write faster and more efficient software.

"...giving too much authority to #AI systems can unintentionally reduce human motivation."

Researchers have demonstrated that they can fool a face recognition system similar to those used at airports into seeing someone who isn’t there—the equivalent of tricking the machine into allowing someone to board a flight despite being on a no-fly list.

Mainio artikkeli kasvontunnistuksen testauksesta, https://t.co/QFDrIY8hZ3 #tietoturva #tietosuoja

As we talk about the tech giants and antitrust, I decided to revisit my experiment trying to block Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft from my life.

Kasvojen tunnistuksen käyttö etenee Suomessakin, mutta tiukasti lailla rajoitettuna. Laajemman yhteiskunnallisen keskustelun paikka on viimeistään jos/kun muutetaan lakia mahdollistamaan tunnistus reaaliaikaisesta kuvavirrasta poliisikin toiminnassa.

"...the event is the culmination of a year-long investigation of whether the companies have become too big and powerful." - Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google grilled on Capitol Hill over their market power

AI can create a slogan for a product, but computational creativity does not replace human expertise, shows a recent study conducted at @helsinkiuni @KumpulaScience @UnivHelsinkiCS. https://t.co/p5ADe9y2Ft

Banks are now coming to the view that they must design their own digital-payment networks in order to retain control of their monetary system

The same algorithm that learned to write a convincing essay after being fed a sentence or paragraph can now generate images. The results are startlingly impressive—and present a concerning new way to create deepfakes.

Predictive policing algorithms have always perpetuated systemic racism—and things may be getting worse. In the wake of the protests after the killing of George Floyd, some police departments are doubling down on their use of predictive tools.
