I made a tally of the total planned AI data centre capacity in Scotland and I am a bit shocked: it amounts to 7.3 GW, which is as much as the entire energy consumption of Scotland, electricity + gas in 2023.

To spend as much energy on "AI" as the entire need of a country is madness. And I have no doubt that this picture would scale if I did it for the entire UK etc.

If you hate Al you probably just hate art and expression. It's an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans

The second from @lesliejandersonwriter:

If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking.

'Endorsements as a Trust Mechanism in the Context of AI’

By Bart Jacobs & me.

New pre-print online.

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5503239

#ai #tech #law #aiact #trust #security

Screenshot of abstract. It says:

'AI-generated images, video, audio and text can undermine societal trust, leading to reality fatigue, and thus cause problems for democracy and national security. Europe’s AI Act aims to counter such developments by imposing transparency requirements for AI-generated content. This chapter proposes an alternative, more human-centred approach. We suggest that humans and organisations add digital endorsements to their content, whether such content is AI-generated or not. Such endorsements provide clarity about who says what, and clarify commitments, responsibilities, and liabilities. Endorsements can have legal effect. They may be implemented via digital signatures. Such signatures are a feature of the identity wallets that are being introduced in the European Union. Digital signatures are a valuable trust mechanism to stabilise our information space and to make it more robust.’ — Screenshot of abstract.

Colorado's bold move to regulate high-risk #AI systems drew praise from policy analysts and interest from other states. But pressure from #BigTech and concerns about compliance costs have lawmakers reconsidering the law less than a year after it passed. https://theconversation.com/colorado-is-pumping-the-brakes-on-first-of-its-kind-ai-regulation-to-find-a-practical-path-forward-269065

"History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost for many Americans, ranging from ostracism to death. Those in power recognized that oppression is best maintained by keeping the masses illiterate, and those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation. To my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so."
