Check out Pau's thread on our new #ECCV2026 paper! 🧵 We propose a proxy for making model merging scalable for real-world computer vision tasks (merging encoders across diverse domains like 2D, 3D, and human understanding)

1/6 Excited to share that our paper on model merging was accepted at ECCV 2026! 🎉 We introduce an efficient, decoder-free proxy that makes model selection faster, simpler and practical across vision tasks. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2604.12935 🌐 europe.naverlabs.com/task-alignment 🧵👇

As a US citizen and academic, I strongly believe that I have a duty to not self-censor in response to perceived political pressure. Paying the mafia and bowing to bullies is not how I choose to live my life, especially when the cost is "not receiving a grant," not "prison/torture/death."

This is fine ...

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact

The AI for Peace workshop will have its second edition at @neuripseurope.bsky.social (December, Paris). Stay tuned for the call for contributions!

Very important work on the relationship between AI research and war. Happy to see it finally published!

🚨Finally published: How does the US Military enlist AI researchers in war? @siree.sh, Lucy Suchman and I examine 7k US Military grant solicitations for AI research, and show how even "Basic Research" enlists researchers in a warfighting agenda. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I'm the one on military sponsorship! #facct2026

Alex Hanna@alexhanna.bsky.social · 2mo ago

You gotta love a session on war and algorithms, with one paper on Israel's war in Gaza and one on military sponsorship of computer vision research, then one about conflict monitoring with LLMs, and then one from a fed. The range of foreign policy opinions here

This part of the keynote is starting to pre-empt one of the excellent papers in the Global Conflicts session I'm chairing later today! (Doing separate thread on that.) On how Israel's Lavender and other AI-based targeting systems in Gaza violate intl humanitarian law. #FAccT2026

‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza

The Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, +972 and Local C...

Professor Suchman singles out military uses of AI for particular attention, & does what I was regretting letting the window slip to do in our plenary panel on Canadian AI policy: reminding everyone that a foremost use of AI today is in Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. #FAccT2026

Back from a sunny picnic lunch at the excellent Anti-War, Anti-Carceral, Anti-Fascist Social, in time for Lucy Suchman's keynote! #FAccT2026 Titled "Open Worlds and the Limits of Datafication", in which she sets out to "challenge the idea that AI is the driving technology of our time".

Lucy Suchman’s keynote at @facct.bsky.social is a revelation. She’s citing media studies scholars like Orit Halpern and Lisa Gitelman while laying out in exacting terms how AI systems are used to perpetuate and legitimize genocide

Today in about two hours! #facct2026

Tomorrow (Sat, June 26) I'll be presenting "The Weaponization of Computer Vision" at @facct.bsky.social A work that emerged from the pain of seeing computer vision used for harm and with the hope that we can do better. 📌 17:00-18:00, Ballroom East, Global Conflicts dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Suchman's excellent keynote zooms in into modern warfare & the role of AI in the Gaza genocide #FAccT2026 "The most consequential decision are made by systems that cannot explain themselves, supplied by companies that answer to no-one, in conflicts that generate no accountability and no reckoning"

"The us military budget exceeds the next 9 countries combined" Lucy Suchman #FAccT2026

Lucy Suchman's keynote at @facct.bsky.social today is so important to understand how today's AI fuels genocide and war.

Join us for lunch in about half an hour!
