📢I’m beyond thrilled to share my new research, From Skin to Screen, which builds on a decade of my work and the contributions of my brilliant colleagues in the field, exploring the rise and implications of body-centric technologies. 1/ https://t.co/UDLIrPox8A

“Nuanced biological data, while vastly expanding our understanding of the human body & mind, threatens to transform Orwellian dystopias from fiction into reality.” —@jkeserue https://t.co/Bfpahf1ToL

Oh so you’re officially a war criminal now? Let me invite you to my humble authotitatian kleptocracy, you know, just to exchange great ideas and best practices. I admire you so much for bombing the shit out of brown people, how can I contribute?

Finally, some great coverage (with more to come!) From @latimes:

The research reveals widespread anxiety about body-centric data sharing. While users appreciate health-related benefits & are willing to share data for scientific research, they express strong concerns about non-consensual data sharing, particularly in sensitive areas. 7/

These real-world harms highlight significant gaps in existing legal protections; my analysis examines privacy regimes in the US and EU. 6/

The excessive collection and trading of health and biometric data fuels everything from rising data breaches, insurance hikes, and workplace discrimination. 5/

Some key findings: Body-centric data collection has surged since the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by AI tools. The combined markets for public health records, mobile health solutions, and the biometric industry are projected to reach $500 billion by the end of the decade. 4/

This fascination inspired me to write a series of essays, culminating in a research project I conducted as Senior Tech Fellow at @mozilla. The research is now out! See @mozilla's press release:

For years, I’ve been obsessed with the tech industry's hyper-focus on our bodies, from fingerprints used to unlock phones and face scans for security to intimate data from fitness and fertility trackers, mental health apps, and digital medical records. 2/

Just a reminder: we don't hate this man b/c he's strong. We hate him b/c he ruined our hopes and dreams for solidarity and prospect. He created a monster not only here in HUN but the entire world. He is ruining our and our children's lives. https://t.co/cuRlGK0LRk

New from us @mozilla💡 We investigated how platforms handle elections in 27 countries & discovered Facebook copy-pastes their election policies across them. Especially outside the US When questioned, Facebook copy-pasted the same exact content we inquired about as a response 😅

With elections looming worldwide, here’s how to identify and investigate AI audio deepfakes - good holistic look via @RowanPhilp at threat of AI audio that puts in context of newsroom practices, existing skills and rapid response mechanisms https://t.co/kQNSE5gYLL via @NiemanLab

He resisted everything the Russian regime stood for: corruption, cronyism, greed, moral rot. For that opposition he knew he would be endlessly harassed, imprisoned, silenced—or even killed https://t.co/3moEhcWWNo 👇

The EU is celebrating reaching a deal on the AI Act –– but its human rights protections have major exceptions. Here's @djleufer, @infofannny, + @CaterinaRodelli on the deal and why the AI Act has always been a concession to industry + law enforcement. https://t.co/5IahzL09kx

📢⏰ Friends, this is happening tomorrow!! Don't forget to register if you haven't already. And major thanks to @mozilla for the space, freedom & inspiration. ❗️Participants will only receive the link to the call upon registration. More info⏬ Can't wait! https://t.co/MATBSv5anv

Data-driven tech is reshaping our understanding of the human body, giving us an intimate look into human's thoughts and feelings. But what does this mean for privacy and well-being? Join #MozillaFellow @jkeserue on Dec 12 to discuss. RSVP here⤵️ https://t.co/wInXRn3ERA

Data-driven technologies are reshaping & challenging our understanding of the human body. Join #MozillaFellow @jkeserue and others in a workshop on Dec 12 to discuss the implications of emerging technologies & the power of vocabulary and community⤵️

The #OpenAI soap-opera hijacked the attention of millions of productive people and nonsensually crammed the fine details of the debate between #EffectiveAltruism and #EffectiveAccelerationism into them, a genuinely absurd debate that was allegedly at the center of the drama. 1/

A number of people have responded to this thread asking why what #Israel is doing in #Gaza is any different regarding the trashing of international law from what #Russia has done in #Ukraine. The answer is that there is an ICC arrest warrant for Putin... 1/
