[en] Behind the scenes of AI video surveillance
Although written by a french NGO, this is a relatively elaborate, fairly careful discussion about #AI Video Surveillance (#AVS) and it's often negative potential implications.
"AVS is a short-term measure that elected representatives can use to show that they are taking action."
"#Algorithmic #video #surveillance renews the belief in a "technological prophecy" inherent to the Smart City."

La Quadrature du Net · What is "AI Video Surveillance"?Last week, La Quadrature du Net submitted its position on so-called "algorithmic" or "automated" video surveillance (also known as "Artificial intelligence-assisted video surveillance" or "AI video surveillance") to the CNIL [the French Data protection authority]. We supported this position with ove

SpringerLinkAlgorithmic Transparency, Manipulation, and Two Concepts of Liberty - Philosophy & TechnologyAs more decisions are made by automated algorithmic systems, the transparency of these systems has come under scrutiny. While such transparency is typically seen as beneficial, there is a also a critical, Foucauldian account of it. From this perspective, worries have recently been articulated that algorithmic transparency can be used for manipulation, as part of a disciplinary power structure. Klenk (Philosophy & Technology 36, 79, 2023) recently argued that such manipulation should not be understood as exploitation of vulnerable victims, but rather as indifference to whether the information provided enhances decision-making by revealing reasons. This short commentary on Klenk uses Berlin’s (1958) two concepts of liberty to further illuminate the concept of transparency as manipulation, finding alignment between positive liberty and the critical account.

AI AND COFFEE?
Digital sovereignty - what does that mean?
Algorithmic discrimination - how can it be prevented?
Which voices should be heard when AI is used? How can society participate in research into artificial intelligence?
Join the discussion - in a relaxed café atmosphere! The best coffee is served (and other drinks). Because since the 18th century, caffeine-saturated stimulation and debate-rich enlightenment have gone hand in hand. When citizens talk about AI with experts, it's about continuing the Enlightenment ideals of maturity and participation.
Opening interview with Prof. Dr.
Steffen Staab (Co-Speaker of IRIS and AI expert at the University of Stuttgart) and Patrick Kluegel Klügel (Public Engagement Manager at the University of Tübingen).
Entry, coffee, and other drinks are free and open to all interested parties with no previous knowledge, and no registration is necessary.
Citizens' Council AI and Freedom
The Citizens' Council, "AI and Freedom, " organized the AI coffee house debate." Since September, 40 randomly selected citizens from Baden-Württemberg have been meeting to explore the question: How can science and society work together to shape research into artificial intelligence? At the end of the year, specific recommendations will be submitted to the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
Artificial intelligence "discusses" with what happens when you ask AI questions about AI? We ask the generative AI ChatGPT live. Will we be surprised?
Cooperation: Center for Rhetorical Science Communication Research on Artificial Intelligence (RHET AI) at the University of Tübingen and the International Center for Cultural and Technological Research (IZKT – Internationales Zentrum für Kultur- und Technikforschung der Universität Stuttgart) at the Universität Stuttgart
Where: Hospitalhof Stuttgart, Büchsenstr. 33, 70174 Stuttgart
When: Friday, 22nd of November
The event will be held in German.

In #Berlin on November 22nd, 23rd or 24th? I'll be presenting some of my real-time #algorithmic #computational #AILess work at Knock Hard, in Wedding. I would be very happy to see you there

Timothy Snyder on #freedom of #speech:
”… we find ourselves defending the #algorithmic utterances of #billionaires and heads of #state, rather than defending the people who would challenge the billionaires and heads of state.
It’s very good to not violate the right of people to speak, but more significant and more essential is to think of the conditions in which we could have as many FREE SPEAKERS as possible.”
Freedom-to vs freedom-from. Positive vs negative.

3D bézier curves with varying depth, simple custom shader.
It always fascinates me that if you follow the lines, you can find intersections forming a rectangle with depths like A < B < C < D < A
I've always found this super interesting. For instance playing table tennis. I consistently beat B, B beats C, C beats me.
