Dear computer vision researchers, students & practitioners🔇🔇🔇 Remi Denton & I have written what I consider to be a comprehensive paper on the harms of computer vision systems reported to date & how people have proposed addressing them, from different angles. PDF: cdn.sanity.io/files/wc2kmx...

Our community for Tech Leader Chats has hit 800 members! 🎉 We’re thrilled to hit this milestone, as our group continues to grow and be a place where engineering, product, and data leaders come to learn, grow, and connect.

The Marsden Fund was set up to support pure research. Diverting half of it to fund applied research undermines New Zealand’s potential to generate ideas that underpin commercial success.

Funding research for economic return sounds good – but that’s not how science really works
