Can Africa Lead the Way? Decoding Bias and Building a Fairer AI Ecosystem

Mitigating bias in AI development, particularly through focusing on representative #African #data collection and fostering collaboration between African and Western #developers, will lead to a more equitable and inclusive future for #AI in Africa.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ignited a revolution across industries, from healthcare diagnostics to creative content generation. However, amidst the excitement lurks a shadow: bias. This insidious force can infiltrate AI systems, leading to discriminatory outcomes and perpetuating societal inequalities. As AI continues to integrate into the African landscape, the question of…

While much of this week’s congressional media attention has focused on the proposed cuts to Medicaid that will remove health care coverage for millions, an effort backed by House Republicans, another consequential provision buried deep in budgetary language has received far less scrutiny, even though it will impact all Americans.

The US House Energy and Commerce Committee, voting along party lines, supported a measure that would preempt all state and local regulation of AI for the next ten years. The provision, buried in Section 43201(c) of the committee’s budget reconciliation proposal, would functionally strip the public of any meaningful recourse in the face of AI-related harm.

This would not simply be a pause in regulation. It’s a decade-long permission slip for corporate impunity. The provision is a message to the states: Sit down and shut up while Big Tech writes its own rules or continues to lobby Congress to have none at all. It is, in short, recklessly irresponsible.

For years, federal lawmakers have dragged their feet on AI oversight while state leaders, Republican and Democrat alike, have stepped up. In the absence of federal action, states have taken the lead in building safeguards where AI is rapidly reshaping our lives, including protections against deepfake election material, deepfake pornography, AI-generated child abuse material, algorithmic discrimination, and autonomous vehicle system liability. States took the lead in passing these laws when Congress failed to respond to the public being injured by autonomous vehicles, AI porn created by teens circulating through schools, and child suicides after interacting with AI chatbots.

i've taken to calling these guys the mean girls of eridia

Quick question for the Touchstarved fandom!! As much as we love Ais calling us 'Sparrow,' I have to ask - if you had to decide, what other bird nickname do you think he would call you/your MC? :O

For example, Ais would my Unnamed MC Daniella 'bluebird,' while he'd call my Alchemist MC Edgar 'crow' (and another OC I'm planning, Shinju, 'woodpecker!')

i know this isnt what i usually post, "shut up fat kink blog" i dont fucking care sit the hell down and listen.

You're aware of the Huion New Year AIGI Tweet, right?

LEST WE FORGET, back in november last year:

If you want to buy a Wacom, Huion or Gaumon device, I'd recommend either looking into an alternative or buying secondhand/refurbished from 3rd party sellers on Ebay or something. Avoid Amazon for all the obvious reasons.

This is fucking disgusting. This is embarrassing. This is unacceptable.

most importantly,

They won't stop.

I initially thought the entity plot in DR was extremely goofy, like what do you mean a computer “controls the very truth itself” (<- extremely annoying grad student voice), and what a hysterical thing for the CIA of all agencies to be concerned about, but honestly I’m on board with it now because after rewatching dead reckoning again, it is so clearly a movie responding to concerns about like, digitally mediated medical + political disinformation during covid, and the fact that the background tension animating the film is that every government wants to get control of the entity in order to centralise and use this disinformation mechanism does feel very much like a response to the political responses to the pandemic (particularly from the US/UK/Canada/etc). obviously I’m not expecting any deeper engagement with like the political production of truth and knowledge or anything like that but this anxiety feels more cohesive and legitimate than I initially figured

Redrawing/remaking my HLVRAI flowercrown au!! Benrey and Gordon are up first!! (If anyone's curious you can go looking for my old flowercrown au stuff, just be noted its was made four years ago LOL and all the old info is completely irrelevant) click for better quality, tumblr killed it 💀

Up next, Tommy and Gman Coolatta!

In the old version of the plot for this au, it had a lot to do with it being a game and such. However over the years it's changed! No longer a game, instead the Rescas explosion seemed to have had a .. strange affect on Gordon, due to him being right next to it. At least, that's what they all believe at first.
