“The problem is not only in how people use AI systems or in which setting, but in how these systems are built to stimulate attachment without accountability. With regulation still lacking… it often appears that ‘everything goes,’” write Virginia Dignum, Petter Ericson, and Jason Tucker.

Watching Keir Starmer launching the UK AI Action Plan. Labour have gone all in for AI to fix the public sector. He eventually mentioned that there might be ‘teething problems’ but that’s it’s worth it for the gains. Who’s going to pay the price to Make Britain Great Again? 🇬🇧

Increased privatization linked to reduced patient care, and in some cases increased avoidable deaths. The Oxford Uni study of 9 HICs, incl Sweden, is a reminder of the uncompromising need for responsible private led AI in health. Balancing patients and profits. 🇸🇪💰🤒 www.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-02...

Futurists, historians, x-risk people: help! Several 20th C thinkers said that we live at the most important time in history. Carl Sagan warned that our technological power now exceeds our wisdom, Derek Parfit called it "the hinge of history". I'm looking for earlier versions of that claim. Ideas?

The absence of Question Zero in the Swedish AI Commission’s Strategic Roadmap is deeply problematic and undemocratic 🇸🇪 ⚠️ @simonlindgren.bsky.social, @vdignum.bsky.social and I argue why QZ is so vital in the latest #WASP-HS blog. 👇 wasp-hs.org/the-swedish-... #AI #democracy #sweden

Nu uttalar sig professor @vdignum.bsky.social om Försäkringskassan:s algoritm som enligt SvD:s granskning diskriminerar marginaliserade människor. Granskningen pekar på att myndigheten är naiv och att det är de som utnyttjar folk, menar Dignum. www.svd.se/a/QMPexQ/fn-...

AI-professor kritiserar Försäkringskassan
En hemlig AI som profilerar oss för att se om vi fuskar. Professor Virginia Dignum tycker att Försäkringskassan går för långt. ”Man kan se det som att det är de som utnyttjar folk”, säger hon.

“The Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s intrusive algorithms discriminate against people based on their gender, ‘foreign background’, income level, and level of education..,” Annoyingly, it was clear this would happen from the start, and yet 😠🇸🇪 #genderequality #AI www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

The socio-technical imaginaries of AI in Sweden’s healthcare in the Commission’s report echos those of previous policy. With significant public funds being used to realize some AI applications over others, more transparency is a democratic imperative 🇸🇪 www.regeringen.se/contentasset...
