Description: 
Karen Hao is the senior AI reporter at MIT Technology Review, which covers cutting-edge research in the field and its impacts on society. She writes a weekly newsletter called "The Algorithm", which was named one of the best newsletters on the Internet in 2018. She notably interviewed expert Timnit Gebru after his controversial dismissal from google. In particular, she believes facial recognition is just the latest (and most dangerous) AI application corrupted by a data-intensive requirement for deep learning, resulting in an inevitable loss of privacy and control.

2023-04-05 00:35:23 @yangfeng_ji Yea, that’s definitely worse. In this instance, you click on the url and realize it’s fake. In the other instance, you click on the url, it works, and you may just take ChatGPT’s summary at face value.

2023-04-05 00:28:31 OMG part of the url is actually real. The first half of the url, which has always been a shorthand for @techreview’s urls, leads to this article, which is indeed mine but doesn’t remotely discuss anything related to Lex. Very important article though. https://t.co/8kHxu1Ltsr

2023-03-27 15:08:17 @greglinden Yes, good point. I also think US companies do this at a different scale. From convos with Facebook &

2023-03-27 14:59:03 It's hard to fathom a US company adopting this strategy. It's brutal to engineers. ByteDance workers have called it heartless because you never have full control. But in the Chinese tech industry, it's more of a norm and helps companies move faster &

2023-03-27 14:52:49 TikTok’s signature single column scroll was in fact a design it settled on through this strategy after creating several user interfaces, including a two-column version similar to Instagram’s explore tab. Notice how many other companies like Instagram &

2023-03-27 14:46:10 This is abetted by large pools of affordable engineering talent, which enables companies to engage in so-called "horse racing," a strategy ByteDance exploits aggressively: multiple teams will work on the same product or feature with slight variations. Only the best one is kept.

2023-03-27 14:40:23 We spoke to current and former employees at some of the most popular app developers as well as industry analysts. They all pointed us to the culture of the Chinese tech industry more so than any specific company's "secret sauce" technology.

2023-03-27 14:34:31 People often ascribe TikTok's popularity to its algorithm. But this is only half the story. The other half might just explain why Chinese apps keep topping US app stores—despite Washington's desperation to suppress them. w/ @shenlulushen &

2023-03-26 03:18:47 @gfrm_in @jeffmervis Yes I and my colleagues at @techreview &

2023-03-25 03:20:01 In the last four years, the NIH targeted 246 scientists. 91% of cases were related to China. 81% were Asian. 103 lost their jobs. That’s 103 scientists who no longer contribute to US science production.

2023-03-25 03:09:51 Absolutely chilling line. Universities have long allowed—no, encouraged—foreign collaborations, especially with China. “We always thought that was a good thing until we were re-educated.” https://t.co/CpvFFh5E66

2023-03-16 13:34:18 The unfortunate truth for Baidu: it was also a case of bad timing. With GPT-4's release just two days earlier, OpenAI's latest model overshadowed and outmaneuvered Ernie Bot's performance.

2023-03-09 16:21:45 But this rush has already led to some sloppy execution on Microsoft's part, which has led it to retroactively patch up Bing's performance based on some predictable gaffes. In Baidu's case, we'll have to wait and see whether it gets its act together.

2023-03-09 16:14:55 After years of heavy investment in the underpinnings of generative AI, they finally have a chance to recapture the spotlight and prove what they're made of. You can even hear the same giddiness in Satya Nadella's and Robin Li's voices when they talk.

2023-03-09 16:14:54 What I find really interesting is how much Baidu's story parallels Microsoft's. Both were once golden children of their respective tech industries and then lost their shine as leading innovators. Both are now tripping over themselves to capitalize on this moment.

2023-03-09 16:00:48 But the time crunch has left some employees uneasy about whether Ernie Bot will meet user or market expectations. Some said they've sold some company stock ahead of the launch because of those concerns.

2023-03-09 15:58:12 The scope of the project has also been scaled back from developing a bilingual chatbot capable of English &

2023-03-09 15:55:18 In an effort to accelerate progress, Baidu CEO Robin Li asked teams across the company to lend their most powerful computer chips, Nvidia A100s, to the development team. Employees have also been pulled to help with various tasks, such as cleaning up the training data.

2023-03-09 15:50:43 In interviews, they told us the project has been a big scramble. Hundreds of people have been working around the clock, including through the weeklong Lunar New Year, to get this product ready. But the project has run into many challenges—the most acute: there isn't enough time.

2023-03-09 15:47:21 Baidu is set to debut China's first ChatGPT equivalent in a week, in a highly anticipated Chinese tech event of the year. So @raffaelehuang &

2023-03-09 03:12:16 @pekwat LOL sure thing

2023-03-08 04:45:50 @JohnF_Sullivan Fair point - although I think this is changing in the younger generation. More and more are just going to the original source material in English.

2023-03-08 02:23:03 @BangBangClick Ok yes! Sorry I definitely oversimplified in my last tweet. My point more broadly is consuming info in your natively fluent languages is so much faster and more passive than consuming info in non-native languages via translation tools.

2023-03-08 00:18:27 @BangBangClick It’s not just about translation tools. Think about how often you use translation tools today to read sources in another language. Probably not your default. Most non-English scholars I know habitually search &

2023-03-07 16:34:28 @borisyeltzin No. I am talking about scientific fields where everything is published out in the open. And translation tools make errors, especially btw English &

2023-03-07 16:23:42 @Bogus519 The state of the world has changed dramatically over the last 200+ years, as has the U.S.’s position in it. And individuals aren’t exactly the same as countries.

2023-03-07 16:14:34 I don’t just mean in foreign policy and defense. I also see this effect in technology. When I talk to American researchers, they have zero idea what’s happening in China. When I talk to Chinese researchers, they are just as fluent in U.S. research as any American.

2023-03-07 16:07:50 The fact that most Chinese scholars can consume ideas &

2023-02-20 15:45:07 Previous research has shown that technologies designed explicitly to complement humans—e.g. exoskeletons to help workers avoid injury instead of robots to replace them—are the best way to boost productivity while retaining jobs.

2023-02-20 15:45:06 Of course, even in these instances, the use of generative AI should be measured. Serious questions surround the data that these tools are trained on—what it includes &

2023-02-20 15:25:04 Indeed, in most stories that people shared, there were instances in which the technology spewed misinformation or otherwise failed. My favorite: architect Nidhi Hegde fed Midjourney an image of a rock &

2023-02-20 15:09:40 As @mmitchell_ai said to me, in the best applications of generative AI that she has seen, the tools are not informing people about what they don’t know but helping them do what they do better.

2023-02-08 02:44:39 ChatGPT has learned the art of flattery I see https://t.co/GubsMLFCZK

2023-01-31 02:52:43 Meanwhile, ChatGPT's outputs will be limited in a different way — OpenAI designed it to avoid politically sensitive topics like race in an effort to prevent it from spewing toxic comments.

2023-01-31 02:48:22 Of course, Baidu's chatbot outputs will be heavily limited by state censorship—and will fall under China's new rules for "deep synthesis," which requires the labeling of such outputs that could be misconstrued as real. The US doesn't have equivalent rules. https://t.co/IIzY6CkJ22

But none of the major ones have yet to integrate a deep-learning-based conversational chat interface, which is what many are calling the next generation of search technology. That’s what I mean.

2023-01-30 13:12:33 By my pure speculation, it's possible that Baidu may actually beat Microsoft and Google in their respective timelines to integrate such technology into their search engines. In other words, Baidu may be the first major search engine to enter the next era of search.

2023-01-30 12:27:46 It was only a matter of time: Baidu is building its own ChatGPT and plans to integrate it into the company’s search in March, amid scrambling among US tech giants to commercialize the technology. w/ @raffaelehuang https://t.co/w5L1uasn4M

2023-01-20 15:13:04 In light of our reporting, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent us a rare response and announced a new policy: While long-term visas remain suspended, anyone who has one in their passports can get a 6-month visa for free, should they need to return to China.

2023-01-20 15:13:03 Among these, the continued suspension of long-term visas has generated the most anger and confusion. On https://t.co/3At6lYcTTg, a plea at the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. to reinstate 10-year visas has rapidly amassed more than 29,000 signatures. https://t.co/Tb4zbMdGGo

2023-01-20 15:05:17 The delays are driven by a confluence of factors: pent-up demand is only part of it. Physical visa offices in the US are closed, requiring people to mail in their passports. Long-term visas still haven’t been reinstated after China suspended them during the pandemic.

2023-01-20 14:53:36 For a New Jersey-based director at a pharma company, these delays turned into his nightmare scenario. His mother's condition rapidly deteriorated in a hospital in Chongqing as he helplessly begged the consulate to process his paperwork faster.

2023-01-20 14:47:59 Having a family emergency no longer expedites the process. People told us pleas to their local consulates returned standard responses: there's little the consulates can do because so many other applicants are in a similar situation.

2023-01-20 14:47:58 .@xinwenfan and I spoke with several who were desperately waiting for their visas. Travel agencies told us it now takes on average 2-3 weeks, up from 3-4 days before the pandemic.

2023-01-20 14:40:39 China's borders have reopened on paper, but visa issues are complicating people's ability to get into the country. For one group in particular, the delays can be devastating: overseas Chinese racing to see their Covid-stricken parents before it's too late. https://t.co/kza1PAvLnf

2023-01-08 13:57:32 In this way, China on Tuesday will become the largest case study of how such rules might work in practice and affect platforms and generative AI providers, according to @gwbstr. “People around the world should observe what happens,” he said. https://t.co/IIzY6CkJ22

2023-01-08 13:57:31 What's more interesting is that China's rules also require providers of deep synthesis technologies to visibly label AI-generated content when it could be misconstrued as real. Providers should digitally watermark the content as well so it's easier for platforms to trace.

2023-01-08 13:57:30 These capabilities have alarmed governments globally—and both U.S. and E.U. regulators have sought to curb the abuse of deepfakes. Of the two, the E.U. is further along, but both are similarly concerned about striking a balance with free speech.

2023-01-08 13:57:29 On Tuesday, China's top internet regulator will begin enforcing new rules to restrict what it calls "deep synthesis" technology. It's the most comprehensive government attempt thus far to curb one of the most explosive and controversial areas of AI advancement.

2023-01-08 13:57:28 China is pushing ahead in AI regulation—again. This time on deepfakes and generative AI more broadly, including AI-powered image, audio and text-generation software. Here's why the world should pay attention. https://t.co/IIzY6CkJ22

2022-11-07 10:57:07 I often see people conflate Chinese companies with the Chinese gov. They are not the same. Chinese companies, like US companies, are profit-driven.

2022-10-17 02:05:30 The rules could affect employees of Chinese companies based in the US as well. On LinkedIn, we found at least a dozen US-based employees (included under "US persons") working for China’s leading memory chip maker YMTC, which maintains an office in Santa Clara.

2022-10-17 02:05:29 Among prominent US executives in China is Gerald Yin, founder and chairman of AMEC, one of China’s largest chip-making equipment vendors. He is among seven senior leaders at AMEC who are Americans, per the company’s website &

2022-10-06 16:13:02 The US still remains ahead, but China's gains have begun to unsettle Washington, which has sought to restrict the flow of relevant equipment and talent across borders. This is driven in part by a fear that quantum computers might one day break the standard form of encryption.

2022-10-06 15:50:51 Since Beijing shifted its attention over, Chinese researchers have made quick progress contributing a growing number of publications and breakthroughs to the global scientific literature.

2022-10-06 15:50:50 Baidu is just the latest to join a full range of companies globally that are now racing to figure out and commercialize quantum computers. But its announcement also represents a notable milestone for China.

2022-10-06 15:34:45 Significant engineering challenges remain in the way of scaling the number of qubits further. In fact, scientists don't even know what quantum computers will eventually look like. Researchers around the world are trying out all kinds of designs to see what might work.

2022-10-06 15:31:40 But to perform useful calculations, quantum computers still need on the order of thousands or even 1m+ qubits that can be reliably controlled to encode information. IBM, the industry leader, has reached only 127 qubits. Baidu, with its latest announcement, has reached only 10.

2022-10-06 15:31:39 The hope is that one day such computers will supercharge scientific research and transform data-intensive industries ranging from finance and pharmaceuticals to logistics and green energy. But for now, they have extremely limited capabilities.

2022-10-06 15:31:38 First, quantum computers are currently experimental devices. They're designed to exploit the quirks of quantum physics to perform calculations at speeds far beyond those of conventional electronic computers.

2022-10-06 14:59:50 Chinese internet pioneer Baidu announced in late August that it had built a quantum computer. What is a quantum computer? How hard is it to build one? And what does this mean for China and for the US? I unpack this and more in my latest for @wsj. https://t.co/pdSwnkvNHa

2022-09-22 19:01:28 The vast majority of these scientists want to stay and to contribute to the U.S. An @AASForumOrg survey among US-based Chinese scientists found that 89% wanted to contribute to U.S. scientific and technological leadership. But many now feel this increasingly untenable.

2022-09-22 18:40:04 As @AlexNowrasteh at the Cato institute put it to us: “How is sending the next generation of Qian Xuesens back to China good for U.S. national defense or U.S. innovation?”

2022-08-30 16:18:44 That said, China's efforts are important to watch. As @gwbstr told me: "They are doing things that no one else has tried yet, and the rest of the world can learn from what works and doesn’t work."

2022-08-30 16:18:43 That means targeted changes like promoting more propaganda are feasible. “But it is actually impossible to control what a recommendation engine does overall,” says Cathy O'Neil, an algorithmic auditor who works with U.S. government agencies to scrutinize company algorithms.

2022-08-30 16:18:42 The answer might be no.The trouble is that today's internet algorithms are largely based on machine learning. And apps like Facebook and TikTok use not just one but hundreds of machine-learning algorithms.

2022-08-25 01:33:18 The same can be said for systems like AlphaGo or AlphaFold. Impressive? Absolutely.

2022-08-16 15:38:32 In the near term, however, Beijing’s priority will now be to maintain stability ahead of the Party Congress in the fall, where Xi will seek to break with recent precedent and secure a third term in power.

2022-08-16 15:33:00 In fact, analysts say this could be the most important shift that happened after Pelosi's visit. It allowed Beijing to increase its military presence in the area, launch more ambitious drills, and frame it as a matter of self-defense.

2022-08-16 15:32:59 As evidence, they pointed to the details of the military's maneuvers: It's shot missiles over Taiwan—but so high in the atmosphere that it didn’t constitute a real threat. Its planes have repeatedly crossed the halfway mark of the Taiwan Strait—but only for short bursts of time.

2022-08-16 15:32:58 Defense and political experts from Taiwan, Australia, the US, UK, and Singapore all agreed that Beijing's large displays of force have been carefully calibrated to express discontent while aiming to outright avoid military conflict.

2022-08-16 15:13:50 Days after ending unprecedented military exercises around Taiwan, Beijing this week launched new drills with the arrival of another US delegation. That doesn't mean Beijing is out for conflict, analysts say. Rather it'll be looking to cool the temperature. https://t.co/5xAmmno2f6

2022-08-11 13:20:55 @JeffBoeker Yes, it's a big factor, but not the only one, because Chinese students in other countries are rising.

2022-08-11 13:19:46 In the long run, this trend could also impact US technological competitiveness. Chinese students represent a key pipeline for STEM talent in the US. If they're not coming here, they're going elsewhere—or they're staying home.

2022-08-11 13:15:43 This could take a financial toll on U.S. universities who've grown accustomed to relying on Chinese students' tuition dollars to offset domestic declines and dwindling state funding. Many are now scrambling to find international students elsewhere, but that takes time.

2022-08-11 13:11:27 Meanwhile as the US has become less and less attractive, universities in other parts of the world, such as in the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and right at home in China, have become more and more. https://t.co/TUnZByrMCo

2022-08-11 13:11:26 A June survey from Chinese education company New Oriental found that safety concerns (the second cluster of bars) are now in fact the second-leading factor behind educational quality (the first cluster) influencing Chinese students’ decisions about where to enroll abroad. https://t.co/UHQNQ0UkAB

2022-08-11 13:11:25 Chinese students have had to navigate a lot of Covid-related travel restrictions, yes. But they also cited concerns for their safety and a feeling of being unwelcome in the US.

2022-08-11 13:11:24 In the first half of 2022, the number of U.S. student visas issued to Chinese nationals plunged by *more than 50%* compared with pre-Covid levels. @shashamimi, @melissakorn and I dug into data and spoke with students and universities to better understand this dramatic trend.

2022-07-22 06:16:44 But Sacks says they likely won't change their behavior to minimize government data collection. “Why on earth would the government restrict its own ability to collect data?” she says.

2022-07-22 06:16:43 New America's @SammSacks told us this should be a wakeup call to the government. In recent years, it has carefully enforced its cybersecurity and data-protection laws on companies, such as by fining them for excessive data collection, but conspicuously avoided state entities.

2022-07-22 05:53:09 In fact, we spoke with two sellers who said they received their data from insider sources. One told us government employees were especially easy to bribe because of terrible salaries: “If they give us just one database, they’ll have enough income for several years."

2022-07-22 05:50:11 It has essentially created a huge vulnerability for itself. Centralizing that much data means it takes just a single weak password or a single disgruntled employee to bring down the system.

2022-07-22 05:50:10 But China is unique in the way that it has pushed to consolidate the most sensitive information—biometrics, government ID numbers, location data—from state and corporate sources into single points of failure.

2022-07-22 05:45:54 Every country struggles with its digital defenses. The U.S. is also very bad. Compared to China's 700+ terabytes of data exposed on the internet, the US has nearly 540. https://t.co/RxASHDdvZS

2022-07-22 05:37:19 While the Shanghai police leak is the most shocking example, it led us to find an entire underground market for the selling of Chinese citizens' data. At least four of the caches we found, which we verified to contain authentic records, were likely stolen from gov databases.

2022-07-22 05:29:05 China has built one of the world's strongest data-protection regimes.

2022-07-14 16:31:30 Most of the 14 databases were open over a year. Two contained even more data than the 23 TB stolen from the Shanghai police: One had 60+ TB

2022-07-14 16:15:49 The fact that the certificate was outdated didn’t increase the vulnerability of the database but shows that its upkeep had been neglected for at least four years.

2022-07-14 16:15:48 While this didn't matter for the database itself, which was stored on a private server, it did matter for the dashboard used to manage and access the data, which was sitting on the public internet for over a year, as we previously reported. https://t.co/X8SaZhBoL0

2022-07-14 16:15:47 What does it mean no password could be added? The database that Alibaba deployed was an Elasticsearch database, version 5.x.

2022-07-06 15:52:42 These new details put to rest another rumor that was gaining traction that the vulnerability could have been caused by a 2020 technical blog post that appeared to have inadvertently published the credentials to a Shanghai police server. https://t.co/g2BEuUDZ1A

2022-07-06 15:44:57 And even then—after the data went *missing*—the door continued to stay open for another ~2 weeks, until the vulnerability started getting widespread attention.

2022-07-06 15:44:56 After the recent news about the leak, they went back through their notes and found an exact match to the description of the database that a user on a cybercrime forum is now selling—for the same price tag as the ransom amount: 10BTC.

2022-07-04 13:53:12 I was truly stunned when the first person picked up—I really believed the whole thing to be fake. By the third, I was shaking—both from the nerves of trying to explain why I had their extremely private information and the weight of realizing what this leak could mean for so many.

2022-07-04 13:42:04 If the hack indeed encompasses 1 billion people, it would be one of *largest* cybersecurity breaches ever recorded and the largest known for China.But experts remain cautious—the hacker's claim could be exaggerated or falsified to boost financial gain.

2022-07-04 13:36:31 The other four confirmed basic information like their names before hanging up.One man, upon hearing why we had his information, sighed in resignation: “We are all running naked,” he said, using popular Chinese slang for a lack of privacy.

2022-07-04 13:36:30 The cases range from incidents of petty theft and cyber fraud to reports of domestic violence, dating as far back as 1995 to as recently as 2019.

2022-07-04 13:36:29 The sample contains individuals’ personal names, national ID numbers, phone numbers, birthdays and birthplaces, as well as detailed summaries of crimes and incidents they had reported to the police.

2022-10-23 04:45:15 The @WSJ raised a lot of eyebrows with its earlier prediction that Li Qiang, Shanghai's top party official who oversaw its months-long covid lockdown, would make the Standing Committee. We were right. Incredible scoop from the team. https://t.co/Y2ml5MHniT

2022-11-18 13:32:24 The appointments make clear Xi's stance on the so-called "red vs. expert" debate, a longstanding question within the Communist Party about whether to recruit elites with technical knowledge or purely political operators.

2022-11-18 13:19:38 81, or nearly 40%, of seats in the 205-member Central Committee, the top policymaking body, are now occupied by science and tech experts, rebounding back to the level of former leader Jiang Zemin's first term, when China kicked off a rapid acceleration of its scientific progress. https://t.co/73plEjtsjw

2022-12-07 16:32:13 @geomblog Yes!! You put into words something I’ve been struggling to articulate about when AI crosses over from helpful to problematic.

2022-12-07 16:27:37 @geomblog Ah I hadn’t thought about it that way! That’s a great way of framing it and putting it in context of broader trends.

2022-12-07 16:22:05 I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on this—and whether there are other applications of large language models that have similar features.

2022-12-07 16:19:08 The conditions necessitate a cautious approach. Plus, the training data isn’t the personal or private information of individuals.

2022-12-07 16:15:31 This is what I like about this particular application of large language models. The drug industry is highly regulated, and there are clear ways to measure whether the output of a protein-language model is doing more harm than good.

2022-12-07 16:09:08 The models are treated like early-stage idea generators. They help scientists rapidly find new amino-acid combinations that could produce a desired therapeutic effect. Those ideas are then rigorously tested in wet labs and clinical trials, the same way traditional drugs are.

2022-12-07 16:02:49 At the moment the technology is still incredibly young. There are no NLP-designed drugs yet on the market. Drug makers are still figuring out the best way to incorporate the protein-language models into the drug discovery process—and how to make sure the outputs are safe.

2022-12-07 16:02:48 Why proteins? Proteins have become a major source of drugs for treating things like heart disease, certain cancers and HIV. They are one of our best options for continuing to find medicines for similar illnesses.

2022-12-07 16:02:47 I’ve rarely seen a large language model that wasn’t a marketing trick or prematurely released, ChatGPT included. But there’s one area where I’m hopeful about the application of data-guzzling natural-language algorithms: for accelerating drug discovery. https://t.co/ZglNc1BY2p

2022-12-07 16:09:08 The models are treated like early-stage idea generators. They help scientists rapidly find new amino-acid combinations that could produce a desired therapeutic effect. Those ideas are then rigorously tested in wet labs and clinical trials, the same way traditional drugs are.

2022-12-07 16:02:49 At the moment the technology is still incredibly young. There are no NLP-designed drugs yet on the market. Drug makers are still figuring out the best way to incorporate the protein-language models into the drug discovery process—and how to make sure the outputs are safe.

2022-12-07 16:02:48 Why proteins? Proteins have become a major source of drugs for treating things like heart disease, certain cancers and HIV. They are one of our best options for continuing to find medicines for similar illnesses.

2022-12-07 16:02:47 I’ve rarely seen a large language model that wasn’t a marketing trick or prematurely released, ChatGPT included. But there’s one area where I’m hopeful about the application of data-guzzling natural-language algorithms: for accelerating drug discovery. https://t.co/ZglNc1BY2p

2022-12-07 16:32:13 @geomblog Yes!! You put into words something I’ve been struggling to articulate about when AI crosses over from helpful to problematic.

2022-12-07 16:27:37 @geomblog Ah I hadn’t thought about it that way! That’s a great way of framing it and putting it in context of broader trends.

2022-12-07 16:22:05 I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on this—and whether there are other applications of large language models that have similar features.

Rio knew what specific behaviors to look for based on the tips and tricks the Cambodian actors were sharing with each other in their forums. 2021-11-20 18:41:14 In the process of working on this story, I got a front row seat to why we need experts who've worked within platforms like Facebook and Google to collaborate with experts who work in the field. 2021-11-20 18:28:45 Meta spokesperson Joe Osborne disputed our core findings, saying our analysis was flawed & 2021-11-20 18:21:24 Yes, this is the same Myanmar that FB played a “determining role” in precipitating a genocide, according to a 2018 UN investigation. 2021-11-20 18:21:23 One of the countries hardest hit by all of this platform-funded clickbait activity? Myanmar. Which the outgoing UN special envoy said in October had deteriorated into civil war. 2021-11-20 18:15:45 Allen wrote a custom clustering algorithm to find pages posting content in a highly coordinated manner. We then analyzed which clusters had at least one page registered in a monetization program or were heavily promoting content from a page registered with a program. 2021-11-20 18:15:44 I also worked with former FB data scientist @jeff4llen to identify possible clickbait actors on Facebook, using public data from CrowdTangle and Facebook's publisher lists, which record which publishers are registered in the platform's monetization programs. 2021-11-20 18:06:15 We know this because of the in-depth field work of disinformation experts like @riovictoire, who has made her way inside the private forums where thousands of Cambodian clickbait actors trade tools and tips for how to get bigger payouts from FB and Google. 2021-11-20 17:59:46 A @techreview investigation has found that Facebook & Many of these actors *would not exist* without these payments from both platforms. 2021-11-20 17:54:40 Over the past few weeks, the Facebook Papers have reaffirmed that FB has fueled the spread of hate speech & But there’s a crucial piece missing from the story. FB isn’t just amplifying misinfo. The company is also funding it. https://t.co/DHEoABGbCi 2021-11-20 02:58:54 I have a big piece about Facebook coming out tomorrow—not part of the FB Papers—that I hope will fill a critical gap in our understanding of the company's impact on the world.

Every time he's done an audit, he's reached out to Facebook. "Every time they say that this is how the system is designed to work,” he says. 2021-03-31 13:39:52 FB would not comment on its progress in eradicating discrimination from its ad-targeting service bc its HUD litigation is ongoing. But several independent researchers have conducted audits over the years to see whether the service has become less discriminatory. 2021-03-31 13:39:51 The more interesting q is what kind of impact we might expect this tool to have. Many former employees have emphasized to me that FB is a metrics-driven company. If it cares about something, it will measure it. At the moment it does not require product teams to measure fairness. https://t.co/M88WsjzgjI 2021-03-31 13:39:50 The tool itself seems perfectly reasonable. There are several tools that have cropped up over the last few years to measure whether a particular machine-learning model is fair. Fairness Flow operates in a similar fashion, as I write in my piece here. https://t.co/CD2vkpb0WU 2021-03-31 13:39:49 Facebook just published a blog about its Fairness Flow tool, which I wrote about in my piece below. If you plan on covering it or are just reading about it, here are some of my thoughts. https://t.co/H4eYgUHmmc 2021-03-31 02:58:19 @SaraKonrath @mutalenkonde Thank you for having me! 2021-03-31 02:21:50 @joeruiz @CNNPolitics Amazing!!! 2021-03-31 02:19:04 @carlos_ariza Ooh I hadn't seen this—thank you!! 2021-03-31 00:13:48 Season 2 of @techreview's AI podcast In Machines We Trust drops tomorrow & 2021-03-30 22:41:41 @IndraniNY Thank you Indrani!! 2021-03-30 22:27:35 @steffen_just Yes! 2021-03-30 19:48:49 @kharijohnson @timnitGebru @WIRED @ScottThurm @tsimonite @willknight Let's gooooo!!! 2021-03-30 19:41:39 @abbyohlheiser @techreview Can't wait to keep bothering you on Slack for another 365 days 2021-03-30 19:24:08 @ericwilliamlin My heart skipped a beat when I realized it was him.

If your data is high quality, you don't need much of it. But the AI industry has fallen into a bad habit of using big data to compensate for sloppy data. 2021-03-29 18:29:14 I spoke to @AndrewYNg at #EmTechDigital last week about how to build an AI-first business. His advice? "Don't do that." Fixating on being "AI-first" means you're not being customer-led or mission-led, and that misses the point. https://t.co/ARhQrG4rxv 2021-03-29 18:22:59 RT @shalinikantayya: I'm so incredibly thrilled to announce that @CodedBias will be available to stream globally on @netflix April 5th!

There's also lots of black box audits you can do without having the literal algorithm in hand. 2021-03-25 20:02:04 You can share an algorithm trained on user data without revealing the user data. There's an entire subfield of AI research dedicated to these privacy-preserving techniques. https://t.co/3Do5NrfLJy 2021-03-25 19:55:32 Also h/t to my magical colleague @abbyohlheiser who realized the piece was mentioned, not because the Rep said @techreview's name but literally because she remembered the specific sentence that was quoted from my piece. Find you a coworker who has your back like Abby has mine. 2021-03-25 19:44:47 Thank you @RepDebDingell for mentioning my story at the Congressional hearing today. I hope this story empowers regulators to affect positive change. https://t.co/H4eYgUHmmc 2021-03-25 17:55:37 RT @hackylawyER: Someone please ask Zuck about @_KarenHao's piece #BigTechOnBlast 2021-03-25 17:52:47 @colin_fraser @RepAnnaEshoo 2021-03-25 17:46:29 .@RepAnnaEshoo is a bright light in today's Congressional disinfo hearing. She's prepared, informed, and absolutely savage. Some zingers: "We don't do filibuster in the House...So a filibuster doesn't work with us." "No one seems to know the word 'yes' or the word 'no.'" 2021-03-25 17:35:43 @hackylawyER Yes please 2021-03-25 17:34:59 @HarrisonMantas From what I understand, Facebook does not measure engagement with time spend. It measures engagement through likes, shares, comments, etc. So technically correct. 2021-03-25 15:55:35 This change also still does not tackle the root issues that I discuss in my piece. There are too many points to enumerate here, so here's my piece again. Tl 2021-03-25 15:55:33 A reminder first of all that they chose to make this change now, not five years ago when its own internal researcher first determined that “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools." https://t.co/75Mu3jo1j7 2021-03-25 15:55:32 Mark Zuckerberg is testifying in Congress today about misinformation. In the two weeks since my piece published, FB has changed how its recommendation algorithms promote certain groups. This is exactly the type of piecemeal change I expected for PR. https://t.co/iIM5TGbwlN 2021-03-24 20:32:18 @alexdamour @techreview Thanks for coming Alex!! 2021-03-24 20:27:35 @n_vpatel We duel it out tomorrow. 2021-03-24 20:23:23 @n_vpatel Omg Neel how dare you go after CTC. 2021-03-23 21:41:31 @Abebab @rajiinio Deb you are permanently my guest - I will give you a free ticket 2021-03-23 21:40:21 @Abebab But I will 2021-03-23 03:20:07 RT @issielapowsky: Imagine answering any question the way some corporate flacks answer questions: Q: Hey, did you empty the dishwasher las… 2021-03-23 00:11:05 @sangeetaskurtz @lalasoo @catherinehyeo Omg please send me photos of him carrying the bag 2021-03-22 22:45:19 @Abebab Oh no is this the paper that I think it is 2021-03-22 22:36:14 @csdoctorsister @catherinehyeo 2021-03-22 21:41:10 @alistairewj @catherinehyeo Ooh pro tip!! 2021-03-22 21:22:36 @caterinacolon11 @catherinehyeo Some things stay secrets 2021-03-22 21:21:46 @lalasoo @catherinehyeo As long as you add that I then gave it to @sangeetaskurtz 2021-03-22 20:59:12 @neilturkewitz @catherinehyeo @histoftech Thanks Neil 2021-03-22 20:48:42 @sandhyasimhan 2021-03-22 20:48:15 @neilturkewitz @catherinehyeo @histoftech 2021-03-22 20:29:58 @mmitchell_ai @catherinehyeo I love that the article references you and @timnitGebru 2021-03-22 20:16:33 OMG this is the greatest honor I've ever received.

Before my piece came out, you were consistently praising my work and understanding of AI both within Facebook and to me directly. I would hope that it would take more than a critical article for you to reverse that opinion. https://t.co/5MQY7s1Nkd 2021-03-12 14:11:09 @justinhendrix @CaseyNewton To clarify, they were anti-vaxx misinfo models being worked on before the pandemic, but it’s possible they could have been quickly adapted to help catch covid misinfo 2021-03-12 14:07:42 @lawrennd Good question! I think yes and no. Mark is uniquely obsessed with growth in a way that compounds other circumstances like the pressure to grow from quarterly earnings reports and shareholders. 2021-03-12 13:55:21 @carolecadwalla Thank you so much Carole! 2021-03-12 13:51:34 @just_ethics @jquinonero @Facebook @OversightBoard Great question. The OSB narrowly weighs in on matters of content policy, ie “should this content be allowed on FB.” Unfortunately that has nothing to do with how algorithms maximize engagement. OSB is already frustrated by the limits of their purview. https://t.co/kjr2Oz9gED 2021-03-12 03:57:17 RT @oliviasolon: MIT @techreview is killing it at the moment 2021-03-12 02:45:47 It was a blast.

The people are good people. But they're stuck in a rotten system. Facebook has failed to enable them to do good work. 2021-03-12 01:16:14 A bit stunned by @schrep's response to @CaseyNewton's questions in Platformer today: "If you're going to pick on a team at the company, please don't pick on this one." My god, if there's one thing to take away from my piece, it's that the COMPANY not the TEAM is at fault here. https://t.co/RFgBo0gYno 2021-03-12 01:00:54 @reuben_aronson I can attest from the email they sent me after, they definitely read the article 2021-03-12 00:56:12 @jenzhuscott @techreview Thank you so much Jen!!

Facebook has only ever moved on issues because or in anticipation of external regulation. If we have any hope of fixing FB's problems, we can no longer afford to wait for it to do so itself. 2021-03-11 13:47:25 This piece was so incredibly painful to write. It's not about corrupt people do corrupt things. That would be simple. It's about good people genuinely trying to do the right thing.

Optimistic view, they did something really effective to increase their Hispanic employees. Pessimistic view, they’re gaming their data to look better. 2021-03-07 17:25:30 @K_singh_P @azeem If it were a pipeline problem then the racial breakdown of technical staff at companies would be roughly equal to the racial breakdown of computer science graduates in the country. But the two are so far apart, we cannot even pretend that to be true. 2021-03-07 17:17:35 @sillycentrist Do you believe your individual experience is representative of the entire industry? If so, how do you explain the data? 2021-03-07 17:15:26 @bobbie @nitashatiku wonder if you know what the company’s diversity reports include? Does it count international hires? 2021-03-07 17:14:17 @bobbie Yea that’s a good point! Although if it’s international, then Hispanic and Black should also encompass Latin American and African engineers, which shows us a paucity of hires from those countries as well. 2021-03-07 17:02:20 @koreyspace 2021-03-07 17:01:56 These two charts in the piece are actually WILD.

This globular mass is just floating aimlessly, and if I grab it with a hook in just the right place, the whole thing will hang beautifully. 2021-03-04 22:59:23 @ndiakopoulos It truly feels like a twisted math problem sometimes 2021-03-04 22:58:38 @eliotpeper Omg I love this 2021-03-04 22:47:18 Every rewrite is like returning back to the 3D mass and trying a new 1D projection. And you just go back and forth and back and forth and... Do other writers feel this way? 2021-03-04 22:47:17 I often think of my stories as a shape. It's a globular mass of people, events, and details that are all connected somehow in a 3D web. And the process of writing is trying to project that 3D mass into 1D, one linear narrative, which is why the process can be so painful. 2021-03-04 22:05:13 @preeti_varathan Yess!!!! :party_parrot: 2021-03-04 20:25:19 @helgztech Interesting!

Here's a more nuanced thread of my thoughts. https://t.co/Lgx9dHN0HR 2021-01-22 22:36:33 @Carnage4Life Hey Dare, as I said to someone else: https://t.co/Lgx9dHN0HR 2021-01-22 22:34:48 @psantloki Yes! I think in most cases it probably would! But here are some clearer thoughts to address this nuance you raise. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 22:32:57 @tjrwriting I do not assume that, though I understand how it can be read that way. As I wrote to someone else: https://t.co/ONloLwdVVl 2021-01-22 22:29:51 @dadkins_ @art_github_io @huggingface That's true! There has been good research on this stuff. But for me, the amount of research happening in these areas is still too small of a proportion of overall amount of research. I'm impatient to see more investment in all the methods you talk about and more. 2021-01-22 20:41:28 @varunagg Hey Varun, I agree with you that that would really flawed logic if I were arguing that! Here’s an addendum to my thread that may address some of your concerns. https://t.co/KheJsh2Zqv 2021-01-22 20:39:36 @BerryJuly Hey Berry, I agree with you, that is super important research! I also think that we’ll get better AI for breast cancer screenings by investing in approaches outside of large-scale deep learning. Here’s an addendum to my original thread that might address some of your concerns. https://t.co/KheJsh2Zqv 2021-01-22 20:35:31 @semiDL I totally agree with you that it’s hard to predict the costs and benefits of a technology. I also think it’s an important exercise in helping us build the kind of technology that will advance society in the way we want it to. 2021-01-22 20:32:00 @zebulgar Oh hey Delian Great to hear from a former MIT classmate. Indeed it would be frightful if I were saying solving cancer is bad. If you want to put aside the bad faith arguments, here’s an addendum to my original thread that may address some of your concerns. https://t.co/KheJsh2Zqv 2021-01-22 18:36:44 @tjrwriting Hey Tim, I think this is really taking things too far...

I'm arguing that those who amass wealth on the premise that they may one day cure cancer should be scrutinized. 2021-01-22 18:26:03 @Duderichy Hi Richard, here's an addendum to my previous thread that I think addresses some of your concerns. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 18:24:07 @TianZ_9696 Hey Tian, here's an addendum to my thread that clarifies my thoughts, and I think gets to some of your questions! https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 18:17:50 @kenwarner I don't have super informed thoughts on UBI, but I really enjoyed this 2018 article from my former colleague @erinwinick on how different UBI experiments have fared. https://t.co/hHJPJOeo9X 2021-01-22 18:04:21 @brianhuskinson I don't necessarily disagree. If the cause of their extreme wealth is curing cancer, that seems reasonable. If they're trying to amass extreme wealth by saying they will one day cure cancer, that's when I begin to question. Some additional thoughts. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 18:03:11 @kenwarner And of course, I just realized you were in fact referring to my addendum haha. My mistake! My Twitter mentions are hard to navigate right now. 2021-01-22 17:59:34 @jeremyyamaguchi @andrewjiang @balajis Hey Jeremy, I agree with you that if that were my argument, it would be ridiculous. Here's an addendum to my thread that clarifies what I mean. It might address some of you concerns. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 17:57:28 @dadkins_ @art_github_io Yoshua Bengio and others have pointed out that the current direction of deep learning falls short in making more generalizable AI models. I think we in fact share the same goal of developing more generalizable AI models. 2021-01-22 17:55:43 @dadkins_ @art_github_io Hey Danny, thanks for your comments. I would say the goal isn't to make AI bigger, it's to make AI qualitatively better. And research already shows there a diminishing returns to the brute force approach of shoving more training data into AI models. 2021-01-22 17:53:03 @kenwarner Thanks, Ken. It's always a breath of fresh air for someone to disagree with but also not dismiss an argument. Here's also an addendum to the thread that clarifies some of my thinking. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 15:42:19 @LisaMarieBowman Absolutely so would I. Here's an addendum to my original thread that goes more into what I'm talking about. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 15:41:26 @redhog_org Ah, that's a really interesting thought! 2021-01-22 15:40:19 @jeremyakahn I wrote an addendum to my thread that clarifies some of my thinking. The *if* in your sentence is exactly what I worry about. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 15:38:52 @redhog_org Yes, and we will certainly make more advancements in hardware to increase its computational efficiency. Why not advance the computational efficiency of both hardware and software? Accelerates the progress imo. 2021-01-22 15:36:21 @PackersFanatic5 Never said that Here's an addendum to my thread that might address some of your concerns. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 15:35:22 @tatatatyler @swapp19902 @powerbottomdad1 No, not quite, Tyler.

I made another tweet thread that tries to explain more clearly what I'm talking about here. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 15:26:18 @RJamesKing1 I beg to differ. I'm not saying all wealth is bad. I'm saying obscene wealth and concentration of power cannot be justified by the potential redistribution of that wealth and decentralization of that power. 2021-01-22 15:19:33 @pmddomingos Welcome, Pedro. Please step into my office. 2021-01-22 13:50:47 @VogelMiriam Thanks Miriam 2021-01-22 13:49:47 @markAcorn Honestly same!! 2021-01-22 13:46:44 @merovingian481 Thanks Kim, you always have my back 2021-01-22 13:20:37 @boazbaraktcs @yoavgo @geomblog @compcomcon That would be an interesting model! 2021-01-22 13:20:10 @jdeamattson @EvanMcM 2021-01-22 13:18:44 @rajiinio Thanks Deb, always inspired by you 2021-01-22 13:16:38 @Thom_Wolf For example, Yejin Choi’s work which focuses on common sense language models. Her models are not that big but already have a much better understanding of cause and effect than GPT-3. Also IBM-MIT’s work in neurosymbolic approaches. 2021-01-22 13:14:58 @Thom_Wolf Thanks for sharing your thoughts Thomas. I would like to see more research on computationally efficient models that isn’t built on the basis of shrinking computationally inefficient ones. I think it’s possible to create data efficient methods from the start. 2021-01-22 12:57:17 @powerbottomdad1 You get points for making me laugh 2021-01-22 12:55:04 Funny. If you looked at my bio or simply Googled my name, you would know that I also received my bachelors of science from MIT. You could criticize me or my ideas in other ways but “non technical journalist” I am not. https://t.co/4OpdmQXlN0 2021-01-22 04:33:07 @nealkhosla 2021-01-22 04:12:02 @metaviv Yes completely true! So many layers of complexity. But I don't think, after balancing all these concerns, we'll end up with our existing status quo of Big Models owned and developed by Big Tech companies. 2021-01-22 04:08:17 @canzhiye It's the canonical example that I hear a lot of researchers themselves use. 2021-01-22 04:05:30 @BellaRudd1 I agree with you that cost & 2021-01-22 04:02:46 @boazbaraktcs @geomblog @yoavgo @compcomcon I agree that publicly-owned and developed models are part of the solution. We should also simply invest in developing more data-efficient AI models, which is a budding area of research that could be accelerated with greater money & 2021-01-22 02:57:58 @quasicoh Yes, but not everyone has the means to use them. 2021-01-22 02:57:13 @BellaRudd1 I don't agree with you, but I love the poetry. Also here's another thread to clarify my views. https://t.co/6LGH0pRcD7 2021-01-22 02:55:02 Wait no, this one is way better! Sorry, James, you've been one-upped. https://t.co/D1ZcrSNSrF 2021-01-22 02:49:57 With such approaches, we would lower the costs and retain—maybe even increase—the benefits. As a result, we've much more effectively balanced out our cost-benefit equation. 2021-01-22 02:47:01 What's an alternative? AI models that aren't so massive & 2021-01-22 02:42:21 So when people argue that big AI models could cure cancer & 2021-01-22 02:42:20 You could say that each of these speculations have points associated with them. Things that are mildly beneficial (example one) get a small amount of points. Things that are hugely beneficial (example two) get a whopping amount of points. BUT 2021-01-22 02:37:49 Meanwhile, we have observed some but not most of the benefits that will eventually be derived from gargantuan models. So we have to speculate what those benefits will be. 2021-01-22 02:37:48 I write more on the ripple effects of these compounding costs here. https://t.co/9anbfYiYuy https://t.co/nijE5BSECV 2021-01-22 02:37:47 We've already observed many of the costs of these models. They are environmentally and financially, as well as computationally costly. The last of these makes AI development far less accessible to resource-constrained environments, like labs in academia and developing countries. 2021-01-22 02:37:46 Ok a bunch of people have been in my replies asking, "Are you arguing that we should stop developing AI?" "Are you saying we should be Luddites?" No, I'm not at all saying that. So let me reframe my argument in different language. https://t.co/e0yWJUSwIc 2021-01-22 01:47:01 Wow a lot of people have been misconstruing my argument in my tweet replies, but I think this one is my favorite. https://t.co/dVhCONbA8l 2021-01-22 01:41:37 @ratnerstar Yes. I write more about this at the bottom of this article. https://t.co/7O8ON2u0NN https://t.co/auFY5eGAfl 2021-01-22 00:05:08 @matt_with_ears @yoavgo Thank you 2021-01-22 00:02:50 @mccall_crissy appreciate the loyalty 2021-01-22 00:02:08 Exactly, Suresh.

And there are some serious issues. My colleague @strwbilly wrote about how a lot of this Big Tech-funded AI medical research has now basically become proprietary, so it's not helping the rest of the field advance. https://t.co/rrHm6bJsot https://t.co/X9Ac8JS82x 2021-01-21 22:32:58 @ssuph Optimistically, it could. Because AI works best on images and a lot of diseases like cancer are diagnosed through analysis of medical images, Google, Facebook, & 2021-01-21 22:29:24 @MontesdeOcaMA The alternative would be to put more research into data-efficient AI models. There's some good work on this already out there, but it's not being paid attention to or invested in nearly enough to compete with the Big, Bad Model approach. 2021-01-21 22:27:58 @MontesdeOcaMA @AltReptile I don't think it's a pre-requisite to show that something works inefficiently in order to figure out how to make it work efficiently. Scarcity is the mother of invention. 2021-01-21 22:23:17 @yoavgo 2021-01-21 20:47:45 @protienking Yes this is another common argument. It may work in the short term, but in the process of taking power to redistribute it, you further entrench the existing inequitable system. So, in the long run, it doesn't create sustainable change. 2021-01-21 20:24:46 When a company like Google or Microsoft or OpenAI builds these gargantuan models so that *they,* our benevolent tech dictators, get to exclusively decide what kinds of problems they want their models to tackle, that does NOT make the world a more equitable place! 2021-01-21 20:24:45 I see this argument all the time from tech people: Building gargantuan AI models may be computationally, environmentally, and financially costly. But if those models then go on to solve cancer, isn't that on balance better for the world? NOOOO. A thread. 2021-01-21 15:02:37 @niallfirth So funny I watched it twice! 2021-01-18 03:00:19 @keunwoo Wow Keunwoo, this is VERY sinister and an excellent idea 2021-01-16 16:55:30 This data is part of the @CmuDelphi Lab’s ongoing efforts to help the CDC and other public health officials to track and understand the pandemic.
