https://t.co/InYPMVxZgV My latest piece exploring #AI & accountability. Businesses use algorithms believing machines are better than 'fallible' humans. Yet algorithms can be even less accountable & are ‘unreasonable', hard to challenge or refute #ethics #digitalworkplace @cmswire

HR is one of the areas where AI tensions are playing out, as companies choose between relying on human expertise or deferring decisions to machines.

Is the rise of biometrics trapping us in a surveillance state? Or should we welcome the convenience of new forms of digital security? Join @silkiecarlo @DonaldClark @TheSimonEvans @robintombsyoti @martynperks and @StuartWaiton for this #BattleFest debate https://t.co/ebIHOnx9tt

‘Bossware’ should concern everyone. Remote monitoring of workplaces is extremely invasive. Covid might have appeared to give employees more flexibility, but at what cost to their autonomy? https://t.co/Y6fLc3D2MZ

Computer monitoring software is helping companies spy on their employees to measure their productivity – often without their consent

Brilliant by @martynperks with @elondems against #LTNs Martyn gives it some stick and calls for a return to normal freedoms. Freedom to go about our lives and business. A rousing defence of democracy. https://t.co/svEKmVq3oM via @YouTube

@lyndagratton in @FT raises important questions about the rush to remote working, that we'll lose serendipity and unplanned but key face-to-face interaction that spurs creativity and innovation. #innovation #collaboration #covid19virus

We adapted fast to remote working — now we must fight for moments that drive innovation

https://t.co/4NhOEl4y71 Nudgers driving the #HerdImmunity Coronovirus health policy are exposed for war-gaming the public, needlessly risking our health for sake of data-driven outcomes. Have they not learned anything? Public want clarity not manipulation #nudge #behaviouralism

Six Martins and a Martyn at @IntraTeam #intrateam20. Amazing concentration of talent! The usual challenge of needing to be in three streams at the same time for the next two days.

@ArtsPro ‘Culture of censorship’ as arts workers fear backlash. ’Research indicates the openness, risk and rebellion that many believe characterises the sector is being eroded.’ Without which, creativity is meaningless #creativeindustries @brexitcreatives
artsprofessional.co.uk
ArtsProfessional’s Freedom of Expression survey reveals gagging orders, bullying and a culture of fear are causing arts and cultural workers to stay silent.

@ft 'Treating people like robots incurs the very real risk that they will behave like robots. And if the business is burning? Don’t expect them to hit the fire alarm.' Really useful from @M_Heffernan #productivity #autonomy

Rigid targets and blind obedience look like efficiency but should haunt every manager

https://t.co/9geRl6RJxh Barclays reversed decision to spy on workers' productivity. Good! But workplace nudges, monitoring, social analysis etc. now 'expected' from employers. Tech snooping kills culture & productivity too. Causes work-to-rule not creativity #trust @CityAM

Barclays has scrapped the use of spyware software that tracked time employees spent at their desks the day after City A.M. revealed its use by the bank.

https://t.co/asL5ihUpqk Useful counter to mistaken view social media influences media consumption. Public far more discerning & read more widely than are given credit for. Also corrects falsehood that #CambridgeAnalytica, micro-targeting etc. influences elections. Ads rarely work
