#ComputerScientists Caution Against Internet #AgeVerification Mandates
An #openletter warns of #censorship, centralized power, and loss of #privacy.
The computer scientists aren't just responding to California's law. #Age-verification requirements are spreading across the world. "The age-gating wave is coming along with calls for stronger child safety measures online, despite concerns about privacy, security, and censorship."

Two #ETH Zurich #ComputerScientists, Menna El-Assady and Bernhard Schölkopf, have been #Elected by the United Nations General Assembly to the newly established Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence, a landmark initiative assessing the opportunities and risks of AI.
Professors Menna El-Assady and...
Donald Knuth -- I found a mistake in my copy of "Concrete Mathematics". On writing to Knuth I learned that it had already been reported, so there was to be no $100000000 cheque for me. I did get a letter from Ron Graham at Bell Labs though. #computerscientists
I cannot get enough of our shared Vulgar Technobabble that we #ComputerScientists speak. Even #ACM #TuringAward winning blokes speak this way.🤣
Interviewer—What is a good way to understand what #ModelChecking is and what it does?
#AllenEmerson—[staring intently at his toes] Well, uh, in "layman's terms", model checking is an algorithmic method of verifying correctness of nominally finite state systems, uh, against a specification that's typically given in temporal logic. Uh, if the model checker, the model checking tool that's been implemented, uh, returns "yes", then the system is correct. If it, uh, returns "no", the specification is violated, and a counterexample is produced.
Sure, we get it; it is but #SoftwareVerification in so many words. But does a "layman" get it?
I believe the only difference between science and magic is whether or not you understand it.
From this, I infer that #ComputerScientists are wizards
We lost another pioneer. 😢

#ChatGPT can be made to regurgitate snippets of text memorized from its training data when asked to repeat a single word over and over again, according to research published by #ComputerScientists.
The bizarre trick was discovered by a team of researchers working across industry and academia analyzing memorization in #LargeLanguageModels, and detailed in a paper released on arXiv this week. #AI #GenerativeAI
ChatGPT repeating certain words can expose its training data

Join us as we celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander (#AAPI) Heritage Month in the United States! Read more about notable Asian-American #ComputerScientists and discover resources that support AAPI students and professionals in #STEM @ https://www.computer.org/publications/tech-news/insider-membership-news/2023-aapi-month/
@Mer__edith,
even though annoying for you, I am glad that in you and the others, there finally seem to be #ComputerScientists, who did see the future coming a year ago.
Did any of you publish any warnings?
I am looking for publications that could lead to an analogy of "BigOilKnew" for the #AI firms.

RT by @physorg_com: #Computerscientists create 'believable' human interactions in AI world of Smallville @arxiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03442 https://techxplore.com/news/2023-04-scientists-believable-human-interactions-ai.html
@PrivacyDigest It'll be a bit hard for the government to #audit the 'black box' of #AI when the #ComputerScientists who created it are unable to do so.
And why does a language generator need to be considered #trustworthy? There's no regulation forcing your computer monitor to only display absolute truths. I'd much rather the #government spend its efforts on making the government trustworthy rather than #tech.
#NIST is hiring #computerScientists passionate about #responsibleAI to build tooling for the #AI RMF! The openings will close on March 28th or when 250 ppl apply, whichever comes first so apply now! @revas https://usajobs.gov/job/714416900#shorten-link
