2024-11-18 00:18:13 Is this a bifurcation of the X/twitterverse into red and blue networks? I don't think so. After all there's already truth-social if you want a steady diet of Trump. Would I have jumped if the election outcomes were different? Well it depends on where my network was going. 6/x

2024-11-18 00:18:12 I'm a little nervous about abandoning a network that I had built up over many years. But I can't also be trapped by that network into tolerating what is a steadily declining experience over here. 5/x

2024-09-29 21:25:58 A bill that combined those rigorous protections with transparency provisions like in SB1047 for those deploying large models could have had a ton of support. This is exactly what the Executive Order on AI did.

2024-09-29 21:25:57 SB1047 was always a challenging target. There are some solid ideas in it around transparency and proactive testing. But it indexes on the tech rather than on the use cases, and that was always an issue for me.

2024-08-02 18:17:51 Update: Some good news on AI in Congress. firstly, the ARIAA draft that was initially posted was I believe incorrect.

2024-07-05 16:50:53 @timhwang If we look at the GDPR-CPRA axis, it's provided plenty of work for compliance pros, but it's not clear we have seen any substantive changes in data practices in the US. And given that SB 1047 is virtually silent on most AI matters of consequence I don't think there is an axis.

2023-04-04 22:37:59 @boazbaraktcs Right. So perhaps I'm thinking that your four circles (that might overlap) describe particular modes of inquiry rather than individuals or communities? So today I might be worried about components vulnerable to manipulation by malicious parties. Tomorrow - deployment harms

2023-04-04 22:23:39 @boazbaraktcs Yeah. Bringing stakeholders in makes a lot of sense. I still feel a teeny bit uneasy at the potential implication that model owners don't need to think about deployment concerns - the word "other" throws me off.

2023-04-04 22:22:02 @boazbaraktcs @rharang I can get on board with this frame.

2023-04-04 22:18:32 @boazbaraktcs I get that. And overall I found your characterization useful. I just continue to struggle with the idea that "functioning well" is a relevant question separate from "what does well mean". I think they are intertwined in complicated ways.

2023-04-04 22:12:59 @boazbaraktcs @rharang In an "eigenvector" sense I see what you're trying to say and it is useful. But of course you can't set a 4 d space :)

2023-04-04 22:10:59 @boazbaraktcs No. But then I wouldn't describe a lot of what I do as ethics either. The question for me is what it means when we say a system "works".

2023-04-04 21:37:57 @boazbaraktcs I'd say that i don't distinguish between assurance and ethics. A system can malfunction by being discriminatory. See for eg rights 1 and 2 in the AI bill of rights.

2023-04-01 16:51:54 @sharongoldman This to me suggests that the coverage needs to acknowledge that more explicitly, as well as the power structures around it. And be aware of those dynamics as part of your writing. Which means climate denials, and tobacco "science", and race science hysteria are useful parallels.

2023-04-01 16:50:14 @sharongoldman What strikes me about the space - and the examples you've provided - is that there are some who are still covering AI like science, or like technology. The problem is that there's a huge political agenda behind a lot of what masquerades as tech discussion.

2023-03-20 20:22:03 @yoavgo @andrewthesmart That's why I was talking about oversight. For example, if an office of AI is trying to regulate the use of LLMs, would they be able to "inspect the training data".

2023-03-19 20:52:49 2. It's important to tease out what exactly the system can or cannot do. An LLM that can write a paper review from scratch should be viewed very differently from one that appears to be using extensive discussion of that paper to cobble together a facsimile of a review.

2023-03-19 20:52:48 One component of transparency in ML oversight is: "what data was the model trained on". It seems like this would be impossible to answer for LLMs, (and might very well be), but the fascinating thread below shows why the answer to this question is important: 1/n https://t.co/76aHWHOsTJ

2023-03-11 18:32:22 @CGraziul @emollick @instrumenthull That's fair. It depends on the topic mostly. For example broadly speaking for work at the intersection of tech and society there are a number of venues that accept computational work. In econ there are also bridge venues.

2023-03-11 16:23:05 @emollick @instrumenthull I mean the first post is also stretching :). their claim that they "solve" exponentially hard problems is weird especially since there are existing heuristics that "solve" the same problem for upto 100,000 nodes. TSP in the euclidean plane is one of the easier NP-hard problems.

2023-03-11 16:03:34 @emollick @instrumenthull I think calling it wrong would be charitable. It's incoherent. This is why computer scientists have a hard time taking computational papers in non-CS venues seriously.

2023-03-11 15:57:24 @emollick @instrumenthull "In this study, we show that the time taken by plasmodium to find a reasonably high-quality TSP solution grows linearly as the problem size increases from four to eight."

2023-02-17 19:24:53 @ndiakopoulos Secondly it views the scope of rules as a two part test: whats the tech and is the impact meaningful in some way. This allows the scoping on the first part - the tech - to be more expansive and flexible - ie automated systems in general.

2023-02-17 19:23:39 @ndiakopoulos Roughly, the idea of focusing on the tech is what makes it important to define "what tech". The view that the #AIBillofRights takes is that we should focus on the impact. This does a few things: firstly it doesn't get bogged down in which kind of tech.

2022-12-31 06:26:33 @OrinKerr No doubt. And perhaps anchoring our conversation off an oped that perhaps neither of us care for is not useful. I was making a general point that complaining about signal because it makes surveillance harder is a misguided view. But perhaps that's not your view.

2022-12-31 06:05:09 @OrinKerr I'm referring to the affordances that a system like signal presents, and the way in which we evaluate it as a technology with purported costs and benefits.

2022-12-31 05:57:26 @OrinKerr But it's a specific lens. And that choice is what I was originally referring to.

2022-12-31 05:56:53 @OrinKerr In cost benefit language, it's deciding to introduce public safety elements as part of the equation. After all we always have to choose what things we decide to throw into the equation (as costs or benefits). It's perfectly fine to want to think about signal in that way. 2/

2022-12-31 05:55:15 @OrinKerr This thread is a helpful exposition of what you're concerned about. The original thread, keyed as it was off the oped, was less so. My point is that the discussion of signal through a lens that admits public safety as a component is a "law enforcement related" lens. 1/

2022-12-31 03:14:00 @OrinKerr Presumably here the 'privacy benefit' is stronger than the "cost of losing information about a conspiracy". But then why would Signal be different? What is it about allowing two (or more) individuals to have a private non-recorded conversation that is worse here?

2022-12-31 03:11:21 @OrinKerr There are many issues to unpack here. But let's consider the cost-benefit analysis you're raising in the context of Signal. A communication mechanism that no one else can eavesdrop on, and that isn't recorded, might also be two people having a private conversation. 1/n

2022-12-31 02:00:00 @OrinKerr I was referring to the thread between you and Matthew Green. It's only problematic to law enforcement that signal uses e2ee and doesn't store data. It's a great tool for ... well .... anyone else. So I don't understand (if I follow along) why this point gives the oped value.

2022-12-31 00:14:39 Framing what is Signal's most useful feature - that we can communicate end to end without surveillance - only as a problem for law enforcement shows how limited our imagination about tech is and how we've been captured by a purely law enforcement frame. https://t.co/bd60EIjTW8

2022-12-24 20:17:11 @npparikh @boazbaraktcs @davidbau @lacker @compcomcon @RealAAAI I think it's fair to be concerned about where the NAIRR work is going. And there are public meetings where it's possible to engage with the work of the task force. It's also only one part of the broader discussion which I think the AI roadmap addresses a little better.

2022-12-24 17:38:56 @davidbau @lacker @boazbaraktcs @npparikh @compcomcon @RealAAAI Not only does the tf not care, the tf has people on it with experience building cloud platforms so none of this will be ruled out. The key focus for the tf is (as it should be) democratizing access. So it's not just about who can pay and who can't.

2022-12-24 06:26:40 @davidbau @lacker @boazbaraktcs @npparikh It's also worth reading the AI roadmap that the @compcomcon put together in collaboration with @RealAAAI. It was released in 2019 and has many recommendations. The very first one is for open AI infrastructure. https://t.co/DWQ0wkkz8w

2022-12-24 01:18:30 @boazbaraktcs @npparikh @davidbau I think as @davidbau can elaborate on, the NAIRR doesn't address all the problems arising from the lack of access to resources for AI work. But it's one part of the story. And this is not without precedent: see HPC clusters, shared telescope access, and so on.

2022-10-27 17:37:09 This is exactly the point that the #AIBillofRights makes: that we should think about the impact of technology rather than any particular tech or class of technology. That's where the harm emerges and that's where interventions should be focused.

2022-10-27 17:37:08 Secondly, the refusal to blindly label a piece of tech as good or bad, but rather to look at the IMPACT: https://t.co/x61ua89GYn

2022-10-27 17:37:07 This is why the #AIBillofRights demands that technologies should be safe and effective, and there should be evidence of this. No snake oil, people! And again, for more on this, read the paper by @rajiinio, @ziebrah, @Aaron_Horowitz, and @aselbst: https://t.co/I9jquljnqj

2022-10-27 17:37:06 There are many things to be excited about in this article about the UK ICO and 'emotional analysis tech' (ht @baxterkb).

2022-10-16 21:08:59 @tdietterich I wish I did, but I don't. It's surprisingly hard to get information on these programs.

2022-10-16 19:49:03 And risky because the repeated collection of biometrics increases the risk of a hack or leakage. And no, saying "GDPR" three times and turning in a circle doesn't solve all problems. #sorrynotsorry

2022-10-16 19:49:02 At least as described, it sounds like biometric data will be collected at each crossing instance. If the goal is to establish a secure ID system, this seems grossly unnecessary and very risky.

2022-10-16 19:49:01 On the political side, the inclusion of biometrics is being touted as a way in which the EU is more willing to regulate (read: "much better") than the US. So this issue is both salient and has a political heft to it.

2022-10-16 19:49:00 The EU contortions around biometrics is an illustration of the complexity of the issue as well as the need to pay close attention to how the policies are being implemented. #AIBillOfRights. A short thread.

2022-10-16 18:27:04 The point the authors make in the beginning -- that they couldn't agree on how to give a talk, but could much more easily agree on how NOT to give one -- is very telling and important.Be creative!

2022-10-05 18:04:41 Great thread. I have some minor quibbles about what is and isn't being done but overall this is solid https://t.co/MAJ6m71M2y

2022-10-05 13:18:49 And it needs independent testing and reporting. It's hard to get excited about transparency requirements. But without it, there's no incentive to actually do a good job on testing and evaluation, and without independent testing there's no incentive to do it right. 14/n

2022-10-05 13:18:48 All of this needs supervision -- aka governance. there have to be processes and decision-making to evaluate the results of testing. I hear all the groans: "you're trapping innovation and slowing it down". If people are being affected, then it's warranted. Speed... kills. 12/n

2022-10-05 13:18:47 AI systems in particular feed on data. But is the data the right data? is it just compounding mistakes from other systems that feed into this one? Have you made sure that you're using relevant data that has been established as pertinent to the task at hand? 10/n

2022-10-05 13:18:46 Systems should work and continue to work once deployed

2022-10-05 13:18:45 So what should we do about it? Because there are many ways in which automated systems can fail to work, or work well, there are many different checks that are needed to ensure that they are safe when deployed. 6/n

2022-09-18 16:44:53 And yes, let us not forget that this tech only exists because of a really sketchy process of data collection by Clearview. Maybe there's a way to learn from this, but I don't want to give Clearview any credit here. 9/n

2022-09-18 16:44:52 It's not a binary yes or no, and it's not inconsistent to say yes to one or no to another, and it's even more important to say that "well it depends on the deployment, the guardrails, the transparency, the reporting processes, and so on" 7/n

2022-09-18 16:44:51 And that has to be part of the deliberation for each deployment. For example, the issue here, even temporarily setting aside the way in which Clearview built its model, is not "FR good" vs "FR bad". It's "what's the impact of using FR by law enforcement" and ... 5/n

2022-09-18 16:44:50 And yet it's tempting to ask: what about these "good" use cases after all. Shouldn't we consider them to balance against the bad cases like a classic cost benefit analysis? This is where I feel the dominant paradigm of AI risk assessment is incomplete. 3/n

2022-09-18 16:44:49 This is a really tricky scenario that plays out in this story by @kashhill. And one where Clearview appears not as a villain but as a facilitator of justice. What's tricky is the question it raises: does the potential benefit as described here outweigh the harms? 1/n https://t.co/BUsYyVtGki

2022-09-04 02:59:02 @deliprao @dsivakumar @FTC That's a topic for a much longer thread than I have energy for right now. Maybe in the next few weeks.

2022-09-04 02:44:02 @deliprao @dsivakumar @FTC Agreed. But let's not do nothing for fear of doing too much. That doesn't make sense either. And regulation isn't the only lever to be deployed.

2022-09-04 02:23:18 @dsivakumar @deliprao You’re talking to the wrong academic :). I spent a good year actually thinking about this :)

2022-09-03 22:09:44 @dsivakumar @deliprao Also see the work by @USEEOC on scrutiny of automation in the context of the ADA, and the FDA development of a policy around AI for medical devices. There might not yet be a single overarching US policy (again stay tuned) but there is action in different sectors.

2022-09-03 22:05:14 @dsivakumar @deliprao Again the medical analogy is instructive. If an antonymous group of people released a drug that they claimed help cure (say) male pattern baldness, there would be plenty of action from the FDA. It's not like we don't have mechanisms of action to model from.

2022-09-03 22:03:27 @dsivakumar @deliprao On the "concrete set of proposals" stay tuned :). On general approaches see what @FTC has been doing. Further, the fact that this doesn't exist yet doesn't mean it's not something we shouldn't move towards. It took ages for the FDA to get established.

2022-08-30 00:24:53 @ccanonne_ @boazbaraktcs @tdietterich I guess my non-snarky comment would be that I think this is uncharted territory legally.

2022-08-29 23:37:15 @boazbaraktcs @tdietterich @ccanonne_ I can't tell if that last bit was a joke. But it's certainly funny.

2022-08-19 15:46:53 @scheidegger @sigfpe I think this case it's that the population average (the expectation) doesn't match the time average (although for unique events there isn't even that). I think what wehad spoken about was the problem that individual trajectories don't match population average (non-ergodicity).

2022-10-27 16:37:23 @Aaron_Horowitz Are you advocating for the use of .... metrics???? But more generally it's a kind of social partial ranking (which is where advisors are helpful for Ph.D students, but which doesn't help people outside the academy)

2022-10-21 01:01:33 And it calls for a more balanced assessment of risks and benefits in genetics research. https://t.co/Ym3XecPxbb

2022-10-29 16:47:10 Between the Meta crash, the #twitterMigration, and the zeitgeist around social media, I feel a real moment of opportunity for a shift in our relationship to tech and how we can dream of a better way forward. It was amusing to hear an ad touting "human curation - no algos" today.

2022-10-27 17:37:10 And finally, the willingness to consider emotional analysis tech as 'biometric'. It is! And it seems obvious that it is, but there are many vested interests with a stake of narrowing discussion of biometrics to only specific uses in identification. https://t.co/O2CPEU4Li5

2022-10-27 17:37:09 This is exactly the point that the #AIBillofRights makes: that we should think about the impact of technology rather than any particular tech or class of technology. That's where the harm emerges and that's where interventions should be focused.

2022-10-27 17:37:08 Secondly, the refusal to blindly label a piece of tech as good or bad, but rather to look at the IMPACT: https://t.co/x61ua89GYn

2022-10-27 17:37:07 This is why the #AIBillofRights demands that technologies should be safe and effective, and there should be evidence of this. No snake oil, people! And again, for more on this, read the paper by @rajiinio, @ziebrah, @Aaron_Horowitz, and @aselbst: https://t.co/I9jquljnqj

2022-12-07 16:26:16 @_KarenHao It works there for much the same reasons as it works in the drug setting. It's exploratory, rather than determinative, and can be cross checked against physical processes that "won't lie". This also drives some of the motivation for explanations in ML.

2022-12-07 16:25:10 @_KarenHao This is fascinating, and is part a much broader trend (beyond LLMs) in the natural sciences in the form of 'ML driven hypothesis generation'. For example, using deep learning to analyze data from background radiation to hypothesize about the physics involved in blackhole spectra.
