Think #AI systems operate in a regulatory 'Wild West'? Think again! AI systems are subject to #privacy, consumer protection, anti-discrimination laws and more in AUS and globally. Learn how you can navigate the AI landscape at uts.edu.au/human-technology-… @nickdavis97 @__laurensolomon

The US military is developing a new class of drones that use facial recognition technology to target their weapons. If this sounds dystopian... it is.
Excellent analysis from @nickdavis97, @TobyWalsh and other experts about what this means.

It's no surprise that the military and intelligence gathering applications of facial recognition technology are being pursued despite every warning. @Newsweek takes stock of the implications with the help of @HTI_UTS experts @nickdavis97 and @esantow: bddy.me/3SAV58G

Ted Chiang’s piece on ChatGPT and large language models is as good as everyone says.
The fact that the outputs are rephrasings rather than direct quotes makes them seem game-changingly smart — even sentient — but they’re just very straightforwardly not.

As companies treat our personal data like oil - as a resource to exploit - our privacy law hasn't kept pace.
But the reform process inched forward today, with the AG releasing proposals to modernise & strengthen privacy protections. 1/3

Great to see many positive recommendations in the #PrivacyActReview today - crucially, there is acknowledgement that additional protections need to be introduced in instances where ADM is used to make significant decisions about individuals.
