Researchers are increasingly making a distinction between *explanation* of AI and *understanding* of AI. Explanations can map without being understood by users. What should our criteria be for understandability? Pragmatic approaches think of this in terms of what we can do by manipulating the system

Great presentations at the RAI skills projects workshop at Glasgow Uni. Konstantina Martzoukou shares the plethora of classroom activities and materials she and her team have created to encourage secondary student critical engagement with Gen AI

Fascinating presentation by Geoff Cox and Annie Davey at the RAI skills workshop on teaching AI. This project encouraged PGCE students to sculpt and draw what they conceive of as ‘inside the black box’

"92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI" www.techtonicjustice.org/reports/ines... this is a damning report

reads: The Ways AI Decides How Low-Income People Work, Live, Learn, and Survive

The use of artificial intelligence, or AI, by governments, landlords, employers, and other powerful private interests restricts the opportunities of low-income people in every basic aspect of life: at home, at work, in school, at government offices, and within families. AI technologies derive from a lineage of automation and algorithms that have been in use for decades with established patterns of harm to low-income communities. As such, now is a critical moment to take stock and correct course before AI of any level of technical sophistication becomes entrenched as a legitimate way to make key decisions about the people society marginalizes.

Employing a broad definition of AI, this report represents the first known effort to comprehensively explain and quantify the reach of AI-based decision-making among low-income people in the United States. It establishes that essentially all 92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI.

I presented on AI and energy sharing at this year’s HM conference. Philosopher Evald Ilyenkov draws a distinction between representations that help us orient and express our active will and rise to which we conform without gaining understanding of underlying processes.
