Prof/Dr Lisa M Given, FASSA 🇨🇦🇦🇺 explains that like the whole idea of banning young people from social media, allowing limited access to platforms that have a “low risk of harm” is deeply flawed. RMIT University theconversation.com/the-government…

"Only 17% of legal professionals said they thought allowing AI to provide legal advice would be ethically acceptable; but among risk & fraud professionals, 57% said they believe using AI to provide advice or strategic recommendations is okay." #AIEthics thomsonreuters.com/en-us/posts/te…

'Providing more proactive support...rather than pursuing social media bans, would go a long way to protecting young Australians while also ensuring they have access to helpful + supportive social media content,' writes Fellow Prof/Dr Lisa M Given, FASSA 🇨🇦🇦🇺⬇ The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand theconversation.com/the-government…

It's not just a teen social media ban, CAMERONWILSON - CROSS-POSTED FROM OTHER PLATFORMS writes, but a national social media age verification scheme. crikey.com.au/2024/10/14/tee…

Tech has "an interest in creating user-agreements that assign liability to users of these technologies (‘use them at your own risk!’), while taking credit for the ways in which these AI assistants can be useful." #AIEthics By Silvia Milano Sven Nyholm nature.com/articles/s4225…

Study (N=200 courses) tested 3 interventions to reduce gender bias in student evals, but none were effective. "Women who were tough graders or taught large classes received more criticism than men with the same grading style or class size." kim elsesser, PhD forbes.com/sites/kimelses…

"A machine learning engineer said he initially discovered hallucinations in about half of the over 100 hours of Whisper transcriptions he analyzed. A third developer said he found hallucinations in nearly every one of the 26,000 transcripts" apnews.com/article/ai-art…

Study of 554 resumes & 571 job descriptions evaluated by AI (3 LLM's) finds they favored white names 85% of the time; female names only 11%. The AI preferred white men even for female-dominated roles, like HR workers. Lisa Stiffler h/t Jess Calarco geekwire.com/2024/ai-overwh…

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access. A thread, with links: >>

The Albanese government has announced a plan to ban kids under 16 from social media. There’s no explanation why this age was chosen, and the decision flies in the face of expert advice writes Prof/Dr Lisa M Given, FASSA 🇨🇦🇦🇺 from @rmit. theconversation.com/australian-kid…

And there it is. Under this Labor government, every Australian - regardless of their age - will be forced to provide their ID and other private details of themselves to social media companies. Don’t say you were not warned. #NoAgeBan

Today I wrote an article for The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand on the government’s announcement they will impose a #dutyofcare on the tech companies to combat harmful content, including misinformation. Will they step back from a social media ban for kids #auspol #noageban theconversation.com/australia-will…
