Sorry to everyone hurt by Israel/Palestine attacks. Everyone who has lost people they love, cared for. All the people further hurt by rhetoric online. Death and 280-char tweets don't mix well; the realities here are too horrifying.

OH MY GOD. Word on the street is that there's been a 23andMe hack targeting Ashkenazi Jews?! Journalists, can anyone confirm this?!?!

โ€ผ๏ธThis is a REALLY BIG DEAL for ethical AI! And REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN. Especially in a twoot.
1 - WATERMARKING FOR GEN AI!
2 - EMBEDDED "NUTRITION LABELS" IN GEN AI
(does that tl;dr work?) ๐Ÿงต

1a: Many of you are now familiar with the idea of "invisible watermarks" for generative AI technology. It was one of the White House AI commitments. This tech now allows anyone to do it (1/n)

mmitchell_ai,
@mmitchell_ai@mastodon.social avatar

1b: Some of you are familiar with "provenance" information, which is about, "where did this generated thing come from?" This tech now allows anyone to do that VIA AN INVISIBLE WATERMARK (2/n)

mmitchell_ai,
@mmitchell_ai@mastodon.social avatar

2a: Some of you know about how important METADATA is in ethical AI work, to be shared alongside content, disclosing what the content is -- for example, if it's AI generated -- etc. THIS DOES THAT. (3/n)

mmitchell_ai,
@mmitchell_ai@mastodon.social avatar

2b: And it does it in the sophisticated "C2PA" compliant way, which roughly means that it follows well-established rules on the right way to do this based on years of work. (4/4)

ASSESSING INTEREST: Do you work in gov, law, education, critical infra, biometrics, or are self-employed? Would you use AI in your role if it worked well? Interested in helping to explain what would it mean for the system to work well? If YES ๐Ÿ‘‡

Please lmk if I can contact you with details about an experiment I'm thinking of running, using the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfC4MpzQX20cpcJ3TfJIQoSnFjH1czNfZZ99BRlpL5MFwC5-w/viewform

@solalnathan thanks for letting me know about that one!
I actually even pay for a form service as an alternative to G forms, but opted against with reasoning that for a quick survey on soc media, G would be more familiar --> more likely for people to engage --> easier for us to figure out how to move forward. Will definitely check out this tool next time.

Is anyone working on AI stuff successfully getting everything they need to do done?

I really appreciated this thoughtful piece from
@caseynewton . "...Feeds that were once defined by the connections they enabled between human beings will have become something else: a partially synthetic social network."

FAIRNESS (& justice, to some extent): Because we released the IDEFICS multimodal model, we also ran bias & harm testing, with details available here:

TRANSPARENCY: Part of open and transparent communication about the content on the Hub means having some amount of content moderation. It's a tricky needle to thread; check out what we've updated here:

  • There's also an unbelievable amount of recognition we've received over these past few months ๐Ÿฅณ, proving (I hope) that ethics and society work in open tech is important. Won't pat everyone on the back TOO much here, BUT I will point out that...
