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. newyorker.com/tech/annals-of…

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.

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 ag.gov.au/rights-and-pro…

'It’s really concerning to me that facial recognition is being sold as the best way to help problem gamblers when most of the evidence is that it can make problem gambling worse' — Professor Nicholas Davis The Sydney Morning Herald smh.com.au/national/nsw/p…

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 Human Technology Institute experts Nicholas Davis and Edward Santow: bddy.me/3SAV58G

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 Nicholas Davis, Professor Toby Walsh FAA FTSE and other experts about what this means.
