Instead of focusing on safeguarding children from gun violence, boosting our economy, or preparing us for climate change, some politicians and lawmakers thought it'd be a good idea to focus on eroding women's rights and reproductive healthcare.

Alabama Supreme Court recently ruled that "frozen embryos" are people, and unborn children are children. What does that even mean?!!

A finance worker at a multinational firm was tricked into paying out $25 million to fraudsters using deepfake technology to pose as the company’s chief financial officer in a video conference call.

"Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous results."

Beyond the excitement, we must ensure we have the tools and resources available to address the challenges that the tech can create, especially around deepfakes and biases. It cannot — and must not — be an afterthought. Else, we'd be racing ... to the bottom.

Just saw this on LI.

A new AI developed by Stanford University students called Predicting Image Geolocations (PIGEON) can guess the right country 92% of the time and could pinpoint a location within 25km of the target location in over 40% of instances — when shown pictures of places the #AI has never seen before.

Imagine how it could be exploited by bad actors, and the potential impact on domestic abuse victims.

We joke about #privacy being an illusion. Is this the future that we want?

Oh my. Just read this from Threads ...

"In a surprising move, Japan’s government recently reaffirmed that it will not enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. The policy allows AI to use any data regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise."

How would someone without a smartphone be able to benefit from what you are proposing?"

This is something that we must constantly ask ourselves … as founders and innovators.
