Teaching critical AI literacy to high school philosophy students 💕 we discussed statements about AI based on the philosophical theories we covered in previous classes. Those kids are relentlessly critical! 🤩 way more advanced than what I usually encounter in government agencies or companies ✨️

Hi! I'm a philosopher writing about the ethics and political phil of AI. 100 brilliant women in AI ethics '24. Founder of Expertisecentrum Data-Ethiek, based in The Hague Humanity Hub. Chess solving, violin, piano, singing & kung fu 🏳️🌈 www.ajunasoerjadi.com
Work in progress! Got a bit of inspiration today 🦄 not an anti-AI song this time, just a sweet little story. ''I dreamed I was a fairy. And the first thing I did was wave with my hand to paint you a cat, and it got up and went to sit in your lap.'' 🐱
Useful reminder, the 9 reply guys taxonomy. You're welcome 🙃

The excerpt of Black Skin, White Masks by Fanon that always hits me. "I wanted to come lithe and young into a world that was ours and to help to built it together" Made available by the African Institute For Young People here: aiyp.org.zw/wp-content/u...
This is also why there is no such thing as a single anti AI position really. Without an analysis of the reasons behind this professed conclusion you're lost. It can lead to being tricked by entryism which we see all the same with people who co-opt anti AI frames to promote e.g. "responsible AI use"

Someone was touched by my anti-AI song and said that the world needs it 🥹 And then he proceeded to send me a paragraph about how he uses Claude because 'it's not like the other AI's' 😂😭🫠
Gniffel om het eerste deel (want ffs wat een drama is het om iets te vinden wat je daar zoekt) en ja op het volgen van Ajuna Soerjadi!
Ook op LinkedIn zijn soms mooi doorwrochte stukken beschikbaar. (Ik wilde eerst schrijven "te vinden", maar we hebben het wel over LinkedIn.) Ongeacht het platform doe je er sowieso goed aan om Ajuna Soerjadi te volgen.

Ik werd herinnerd aan een korte blog die ik eerder dit jaar schreef omdat iemand vond dat ik in het kader van nuance beter ook wel wat positieve dingen over AI kon zeggen, want ik was wat negatief 🫠 Dit is mijn reactie. Data-ethiek als bouwtechnische keuring www.linkedin.com/pulse/data-e...

Have you preordered Deep Unlearning yet? 😍 I just know I'm gonna love this one.
🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....

Y'all I tried to get funding to develop an educational game for critical AI literacy called AI Utopia (see link below), but my first attempt was unsuccesful. If anyone has ideas for funding, partnerships or other creatives routes, I'd love to hear them!
had a bit of an emotional reaction to the text there ... also I want to steal your singing voice for myself
“Jason was genuinely one of the kindest professors at the university” Jason Arday remembered by his former students at Durham, where he taught between 2019 and 2022. By @michaelamakusha.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/jason-arda...
If anyone wants to try to solve the proof game Iris refers to, it's this one! Find the exact sequence of moves that leads to this position after black's 4th move 😊 good luck!!!!
Reminded of this work by Jäkel & Schreiber (2013) "Introspection in Problem Solving", because I’m trying to solve a chess proof game and have been introspecting deeply on why I’m stuck, how I pursue paths, experience fixedness (even though as cognitive scientist I know I should let go!), etc. 🧵
In some ways quite helpful that the racist academics are signing the "I Am A Racist Academic" pledge.
There’s a petition signed by more than one hundred academics (& counting!) in support of Nathan Cofnas—the racist who instigated the pile on that led to J. Arday’s death—because he lost his postdoc. Apparently there’s nothing a white man can do that deserves consequences.
