🤖 Happy to share a new working paper with Yotam Margalit, "The Politics of Using AI in Public Policy: Experimental Evidence"
Bard's new interface tests each chatbot claim by highlighting whether Google search was able to corroborate it. Playing its AI and search capabilities off each other is a clever business move by Google, but it's also an opportunity for students to understand that factoids fabricated by chatbots are different than citations found on the web.

Luke Munn writes about the uselessness and dangerousness of AI ethics: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43681-022-00209-w
Focusing on ethical principles takes resources away from useful work, he says. There are two kinds of useful work: narrower work on auditing and governance, and broader work on social justice.
Interestingly, the narrower and broader work are similar to the "easy" and "hard" AI governance problems we identified: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10103193

It seems we should differentiate, AI exists. It's the yet-to-exist "AGI" that's "Alchemy", no? https://venturebeat.com/business/todays-ai-is-not-science-its-alchemy-what-that-means-and-why-that-matters-the-ai-beat/ “The people building it actually think that what they’re doing is magical,' he said. 'And that’s rooted in a lot of metaphors, ideas that have now filtered into public discourse over the past several months, like AGI and super intelligence.' The prevailing idea, he explained, is that intelligence itself is scalar" #AIEthics
What I’m currently thinking about:
Which do we need more direly:
- Knowledge about generative AI’s ethical consequences, harms, risks etc. or
- Knowledge about how AI ethics principles might need to be updated and revised?
How Hype Over AI Superintelligence Could Lead Policy Astray https://carnegieendowment.org/2023/09/14/how-hype-over-ai-superintelligence-could-lead-policy-astray-pub-90564 "The UK’s upcoming global summit on AI is notably centered on 'safety'—a broad term that is often associated with superintelligence fears—rather than democracy, privacy, labor impacts, human rights, or efforts to ensure AI’s benefits are shared around the globe. But claims that revolutionary superintelligent AI systems are just around the corner are speculative and technically disputed." #AIEthics

@ukrio Cornell struck a committee studying these issues in higher education, and the recommendations are similar: "To address the risks of GAI [generative AI] while maximizing its benefit, we propose a flexible framework in which instructors can choose to prohibit, to allow with attribution, or to encourage GAI use."

What to do about AI in academia?
1. Nothing. Industry will welcome this.
2. Ban. Academia has been shocked and the use of tools goes against the principle that the work must be yours. Regard use as equivalent to plagiarism.
3. Moderate. Allowed if the instructor permits it. Bans don't handle the issues or educate about risks of using AI tools. Can we instead persuade users why these tools won't help them learn or produce good content?
UNESCO, EU, etc., say a human perspective must be central to the regulation of AI. Tools do not have personalities or personhood. Few countries have AI regulation or laws; the EU has been held up by lobbying.
UNESCO has just released guidance on AI in education and research: https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/guidance-generative-ai-education-and-research
LLMs may be biased due to biased training materials, but inexperienced users may not be aware of these biases, errors, or 'hallucinations'. The output may only present one view, but science needs to assess multiple views and varied information.
We don't know the source of the concepts outputted by LLMs, but in academia we need to attribute ideas and use citations.
This is problematic for scientific research and writing, because uncritical use is dangerous. Creates fake science, from which there may be no return. Human faking already exists, but at a less scale.
The black box problem is that we can't explain exactly how LLMs work because they use billions of parameters, nor can we reproduce outputs.
To regulate the use of AI, Ivana Kunda says new laws and regulations will lag behind. We can instead apply old principles to the new technology. 🧵
AI 'intelligence' in large language models is very different to human intelligence. It shuffles words around to create new sentences by guesswork, without knowledge of the meaning (a 'stochastic parrot'). It may sound sophisticated, but be totally wrong or invented.

"If you agree that it is important to do something, the question becomes: what something should that be? In situations with insufficient information to make a good decision, you must minimize the impact of making a bad one."
An interesting allegory about the state of AI regulation. While I don't agree with everything here, I agree that we are in a position where the proposals all have profoundly negative consequences

Can generative AI can be creative? I think so, but its very ability to generate novelty is is what makes it untrustworthy.

Google has updated their political advertising policy — Election advertisers "must prominently disclose when their ads contain synthetic content that inauthentically depicts real or realistic-looking people or events. This disclosure must be clear and conspicuous, and must be placed in a location where it is likely to be noticed by users. This policy will apply to image, video, and audio content."

Where did this notion come from that _computers_ (much less humans) have the "right to learn"? Even @pluralistic argues this. Machines apparently have a "right to learn" whatever their human overseers want them to learn ... because ... because ... how else are these AI systems going to be productive citizens in a democracy???? Fine. I'd like my computer to learn Tesla's trade secrets, and Elon Musk's private conversations. My computer has rights, doesn't it? #Copyright #AI #AIHype #AIEthics

Hmm, it sure looks like VSCO is preparing to train an AI tool. There are clauses in their terms of use that state using the app grants VSCO and also *other Creators* rights to make derivative works from your content. Thoughts? https://www.vsco.co/about/terms-of-use

The problem with all these "we won't train the model on your data or conversations" guarantees is that they don't promise not to do any of the other for-profit things they can do with your data.
