At @pyconau #pyconau Dr Arwen Griffioen presents an anti-oppresive framework for #AI and #data ethics - red team your models for #bias, centre the voices of the people who are most likely to be harmed, monitor continuously, for distributional shift, and ask the hard questions during the design process. Use your privilege to push back.

Persuasion and the Prestige Paradox: Are High Status People More Likely to Lie?

…“It’s extraordinary,” said Simon Willison, an independent #AI researcher who’s been testing the tool. “You can ask it a sort of pointed question that is around controversial topics. And then you can watch it literally do a search on X for what #ElonMusk said about this, as part of its research into how it should reply.”

One example widely shared on social media — & which Willison duplicated — asked #Grok to comment on the conflict in the #MiddleEast. The prompted question made no mention of #Musk, but the #chatbot looked for his guidance anyway.
As a so-called reasoning model, much like those made by rivals #OpenAI or #Anthropic, #Grok4 shows its “thinking” as it goes through the steps of processing a question & coming up with an answer.

The latest version of #ElonMusk’s #AI chatbot #Grok is echoing the views of its billionaire creator, so much so that it will sometimes search online for #Musk’s stance on an issue before offering up an opinion.
The unusual behavior of Grok 4, the AI model that Musk’s company #xAI released late Wednesday, has surprised some experts.

"It isn’t just that people are angry that the catastrophe in Gaza isn’t being given due attention: it is that their encounters with observable reality are being flatly denied. ...
"Those people have been told that Gaza protests are hate marches; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that US campus protesters are largely motivated by antisemitism; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation because it spray painted military aircraft; they can see it’s not true. They have been repeatedly told, by Benjamin Netanyahu, that opposition to Israel’s war is antisemitic; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that the British government finds Israel’s actions “intolerable”; they can see it’s not true.
"Now they are being told that opposing the IDF is antisemitic, that the Glastonbury crowd is more virulent than the one at Nuremberg, and that direct action is a form of terrorism. They can see all that’s not true, either, and however far their view is from the front pages, they know that they are far from alone."

I’ve lost count of how many times I was dismissed with very serious issues because I was ‘too young’ and/or a woman.
My Dysautonomia was missed for years because ‘you’re too young for heart problems’
My EDS wasn’t diagnosed until my late thirties because ‘you’re young and otherwise healthy so the pain is in your head’
After my hysterectomy, I bled into my belly for two weeks while the ER repeatedly sent me home saying I was ‘too young’ to be having a serious post operative complication.
Misogyny, discrimination and bias in medicine kills. It disables. It traumatizes.
I was lucky to survive my experiences, but I don’t want any of us to survive based on luck.
We deserve the same level of care as men, and I will keep fighting until we get it.
