☆ Can I Edit Pink Hair Out of My Daughter’s Wedding Photos?
  + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Kwame Anthony Appiah | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
One of the guests invited a friend who had beautiful bright pink hair. In the video and most of the photos taken of the ceremony, with the white-snow backdrop, the friend with the bright pink hair distracts your gaze so much that it takes away from the focus of the wedding: the bride and groom. Would it be ethical to replace the hair digitally with a more neutral-colored hair? Certain white-balance settings, for instance, might aim for certain color temperatures. The fact that the pink hair in your photographic records of the event stands out to you in the way that it does arises from the interaction of these two interpretations.

When AI Gets It Wrong, Who’s on the Hook? Generative artificial-intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT are known to get things wrong sometimes, a process known as “hallucinating.” But can anyone be held liable if those incorrect responses are damaging in some way? Host Zoe Thomas talks to a legal expert and an AI ethicist to explore the legal landscape for generative AI technology, and the tactics companies are employing to improve their products.

☆ Our Throuple Fell Apart. What Are the Rules of the Breakup?
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Kwame Anthony Appiah | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Nearly a year ago, I began dating two friends — I’ll call them Rachel and Dave — who were already themselves in a relationship. The throuple ended fairly quickly, with no one being at fault; the other two continued to date but broke up not too long afterward. Since then, Rachel and Dave have dated on and off, Rachel and I were casually together and Dave and I have been close friends who sleep together occasionally. At times, we have all behaved badly, sleeping together behind the other’s back, knowing the knowledge would hurt the other. Do Rachel and Dave get “priority,” in that they should be together and I should not pursue either, because they dated first?
☆ Leaders like Elon Musk are calling for an AI pause. But experts say there's no secret to better, safer AI: Just add humans.

Leaders like Elon Musk have called for a "pause" on AI development to better consider its effects on society. But industry insiders say that we already know the best way to make sure AI acts responsibly: Just add humans. The thing is that the secret to responsible AI is no secret at all. A lot of responsible AI deals with understanding the impact of AI in people's day-to-day lives. All of which is to say, a way to create responsible AI already exists.
☆ Google and Microsoft’s AI arms race could have ‘unintended consequences,’ an AI ethicist warns
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —Google is officially set to confront OpenAI’s ChatGPT — and soon. Ammanath said that “unintended consequences” accompany every new technology and reluctantly expressed confidence that it too will occur with AI chatbots, unless significant precautions are taken. Ammanath stressed that computer scientists working on AI have yet to solve for bias, a years-long problem, as well as other worrisome issues that plague the technology. And in its wake, other outlets like BuzzFeed, are already embracing the robot-writing technology to help it generate content and quizzes. “This is a new dimension that generative AI has brought in,” Ammanath added.

Big Technology is a newsletter about tech and society by independent journalist Alex Kantrowitz . A Substack plagiarized analysis from Big Technology and posted it. The core of the story, lifted from Big Technology, was good enough to spark a discussion. The tools enable AI writing and likely helped remix the original article. Follow Big Technology on Twitter.
☆ Why Biden's student-loan forgiveness ignited a debate over the fairness of debt relief, according to an ethicist
  + stars: | 2022-12-18 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Dr. Kate Padgett Walsh, a debt ethicist, said those people view fairness "too narrowly." President Joe Biden arrived at an answer at the end of August – he would cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for federal borrowers making under $125,000. "Our student debt relief program will help borrowers most at risk of delinquency or default from the pandemic get back on their feet," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona wrote on Twitter. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in August that Biden's plan to cancel student debt is "astonishingly unfair." "The financing of higher education is now so broken that we need to think about these questions of fairness and justice."
☆ ‘Complicit’ Review: Going Along, Avoiding Blame
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( Julian Baggini | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Corporate malfeasance is all too common and hurts far more than a company’s bottom line. Purdue Pharma’s promotion of opioid use was, by one calculation, the single largest cause of the decrease in U.S. life expectancy during the mid-2010s. Separately, an estimated 45,000 disability-adjusted life years were lost as a result of the pollution from the Volkswagen diesel engines that, in 2008-15, had fraudulently passed emission tests. The Sackler family name—which used to adorn galleries and buildings that the family funded with wealth from Purdue’s success—is mud. But to pin all the blame on the stand-out villains is too easy.
☆ Facebook whistleblower, former defense and intel officials form group to fix social media
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Lauren Feiner | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
A Facebook whistleblower, two former U.S. defense secretaries, several past lawmakers and intelligence chiefs are forming a new group to address the harmful impacts social media can have on kids, communities and national security. The council said it aims to drive bipartisan conversation around tech in Washington, D.C., and across the country, elevate nonpartisan voices like parents and pediatricians, and advance effective solutions to reform social media. Haugen said the issues stemming from social media are truly bipartisan in nature, which could be made more clear by avoiding framing them as issues of content moderation. Many conservatives are skeptical of content moderation because they believe platforms can use it to censor certain viewpoints, though mainstream platforms have repeatedly denied they do so. Haugen said she sees content moderation as largely a "distraction from the real path forward, which is around product design, safety by design, transparency."
