Hoy, entre los bienes que están destinados universalmente a todos, debemos incluir también las nuevas formas de propiedad: patentes, algoritmos, plataformas digitales, infraestructuras tecnológicas, datos. En un contexto en el que la riqueza de las naciones depende cada vez más de conocimientos y tecnologías, cuando estos bienes quedan concentrados en las manos de unos pocos, sin adecuadas formas de compartición y de acceso, se crea una nueva brecha entre quienes pueden participar en la revolución digital y quienes permanecen al margen. #MagnificaHumanitas

"Mentir constantemente no tiene como objetivo hacer que la gente crea una mentira, sino garantizar que ya nadie crea en nada. Un pueblo que ya no puede distinguir entre la verdad y la mentira no puede distinguir entre el bien y el mal. Y un pueblo así, privado del poder de pensar y juzgar, está, sin saberlo ni quererlo, completamente sometido al imperio de la mentira. Con gente así, puedes hacer lo que quieras." – Hannah Arendt ✍🏼

Top five introductory, accessible, and informative reads on decoloniality/decolonisation🧵: There is more, of course, but I am often asked what would be a starting point for those who will then read more (Fanon is always the answer)

Data centers are draining energy and water, while Big Tech hides the damage with ‘creative accounting’. With power grids strained and energy security at risk, governments must act now, demanding full transparency on emissions and AI’s environmental impact. theguardian.com/technology/2…

🚨 [AI REGULATION] @UNESCO published its "Consultation Paper on AI Regulation - Emerging Approaches Across the World," and it's a MUST-READ for everyone in AI governance. Important information: ➵ Among other topics, the consultation paper describes 9 regulatory approaches (with examples from around the world) that are extremely interesting to anyone working or studying AI governance & regulation: "1️⃣ Principles-Based Approach: Offer stakeholders a set of fundamental propositions (principles) that provide guidance for developing and using AI systems through ethical, responsible, human-centric, and human-rights-abiding processes. 2️⃣ Standards-Based Approach: Delegate (totally or partially) the state’s regulatory powers to organizations that produce technical standards that will guide the interpretation and implementation of mandatory rules. 3️⃣ Agile and Experimentalist Approach: Generate flexible regulatory schemes, such as regulatory sandboxes and other testbeds, that allow organizations to test new business models, methods, infrastructure, and tools under more flexible regulatory conditions and with the oversight and accompaniment of public authorities. 4️⃣ Facilitating and Enabling Approach: Facilitate and enable an environment that encourages all stakeholders involved in the AI lifecycle to develop and use responsible, ethical, and human rights-compliant AI systems. 5️⃣ Adapting Existing Laws Approach: Amend sector-specific rules (e.g., health, finance, education, justice) and transversal rules (e.g., criminal codes, public procurement, data protection laws, labor laws) to make incremental improvements to the existing regulatory framework. 6️⃣ Access to Information and Transparency Mandates Approach: Require the deployment of transparency instruments that enable the public to access basic information about AI systems. 7️⃣ Risk-Based Approach: Establish obligations and requirements in accordance with an assessment of the risks associated with the deployment and use of certain AI tools in specific contexts. 8️⃣ Rights-Based Approach: Establish obligations or requirements to protect individuals' rights and freedoms. 9️⃣ Liability Approach: Assign responsibility and sanctions to problematic uses of AI systems." ➵ It's important to notice that the regulatory approaches described above are not mutually exclusive, and AI laws around the world will often combine two or more approaches. ➵ The paper will be available for open public consultation in English until 19 September 2024. ➵ Link to download the document below. 🔥 To stay up to date with the latest developments in AI policy, compliance & regulation, join 32,600 people who subscribe to my weekly newsletter (link below).
