I can't believe I'm actually posting on this hellsite for this, but it is striking how @AIESConf @TheOfficialACM @RealAAAI never seems to really think a conference on "AI, Ethics, and Society" should be planned out more than a few months....
last year they announced the conference, the paper deadline and the CFP literally a month before the deadline :-\

Should you delete your Facebook? 👀
One man has been recording everything Mark Zuckerburg says in public, in an archive known as "The Zuckerberg Files", has told Sky News what he's learnt 👇

I still think often about this question I posed at the 2017 @AINowInstitute gathering. Feels like many are only now realizing the privacy impacts of AI wrt ChatGPT's training data, etc.
Question @katecrawford: even if we solve the bias & governance challenges, how do we avoid the surveillance externalities of AI? #ainow2017

Do VBA users even care about privacy? Terrific research by @jvitak,
@DearPriya, Liao, & @michaelzimmer, who apply a tensional lens (CPM theory) showing complex negotiations and agentic work of users & non-users. Here we taste the early fruits of a dialectical approach to #hmc.
In the current volume, @jvitak, @DearPriya, Yuting Liao, and @michaelzimmer extend Communication Privacy Management Theory (CPM) to #hmc. This article is important for examining privacy issues with #VBAs. #HAI #HCI stars.library.ucf.edu/hmc/vo…

🚨 New article alert! 🧵
I'm excited to *finally* share a paper that was initially written in 2019 & was just published @HMCjournal.

In the early days of the pandemic, @michaelzimmer & I noticed a sharp uptick in media stories on new types of workplace surveillance to monitor employees remotely. As privacy scholars, we were concerned about wider implications of these practices. Let me share what we found. 🧵

This platform is toxic. This is my new pinned post. Y’all should leave too.
Elon Musk is cisgender, I am cisgender, and the only reason that someone would legitimately think "cisgender" is a slur is because they are using "transgender" as a slur. Codifying this as platform policy is just "only transphobic users allowed."

Leah is presenting this paper today in paper session 4: Self-reflection (in W194B) at #FAccT2023. Go go, Leah, I'm so proud of you!!
What's up with ethics in mental health, ML, and social media research? We studied 129 papers & found ethics practices are inconsistent and don't align with recommendations of what we "ought" do. Our #FAccT2023 paper talks about this and more (steviechancellor.com/wp-cont…)! 🧵below:

I was reminded today of that time, a dozen years ago, I was labelled "academic paparazzi" for daring to engaging in a critical assessment of the T3 Facebook study.
My reflection on that at the time is here: michaelzimmer.org/2011/07/11…

From @michaelzimmer: "I think an outright ban, I don’t see that as the right solution to this problem...I think this is a larger question about privacy and algorithms and internet culture that is more than TikTok."
