RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Picking up on potentially useful alternatives approaches @karenhao.bsky.social reports on how AI researchers worked with community consent and agency to build a tiny specific model for Te Reo in New Zealand; including guardianship of the data long term. #EmpireofAI 012
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025We’ve just had a hilarious and disturbing story from #EmpireofAI where a senior AI leader burns an effigy of a bad AI. @karenhao.bsky.social 000

RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Kobi and @karenhao.bsky.social discuss the problems of image training specifically. Kobi brings up the problem of narcissism. 000
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Kobi Leins notes that the book reports that removing explicit material from the training data led to a drop in performance; that this revealed ethical and bias problems with the data chosen for training @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI 011
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Following on from the issue of gender ; the staff who prepare the data on which AI is trained are treated to standards far below human rights expectations. This crosses the global south @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI 000
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Reflecting on the impact of gender; @karenhao.bsky.social points out the many technologies don’t work for women ; and AI businesses have fired teams of women brought in to help reduce bias. #EmpireofAI 032
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Kobi Leins points out the lack of concrete evidence to support the hyperbolic claims for AI boosts to productivity @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI 032
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Moving on @karenhao argues that big tech too often demands the public serves it; not that it (profitably) serves them. 000
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Thanks to the hundreds of people who have turned up to @karenhao.bsky.social ‘s talk this evening. Also to our RMIT colleagues in the Social Change EIP and the Business and Human Rights Centre. 010
RMIT School of Computing Technologies @rmitcomputing.bsky.social · 05/09/2025@karenhao.bsky.social moves on to pointing out the lack of true general purpose AI and the vast consumption of resources needed for marginal improvement. #EmpireofAI 000
