🎉 Congratulations to our own @MilagrosMiceli for being on TIME's 100 list of "innovators, leaders, & thinkers reshaping our world through groundbreaking advances in" AI. Mila is recognized for her Data Workers' Inquiry, a worker led investigation of the impact of data work. 🧵

🎤 AJL Back to School. Session Three: The Guest Lecture Series. No single voice can teach this course. Algorithmic justice is a chorus, and these are some of the people shaping the future of accountable AI. 🏛️ Dr. Alondra Nelson (@AlondraNelson46) on governing the future. Former head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, architect of the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, and the person who will tell you plainly that AI for good is not inevitable, that it only happens if we build the structures to make it so. She's also delivering the keynote at our Decade of Impact celebration this November. 🔬 Dr. Timnit Gebru (@timnitGebru) on doing the research anyway. Founder of the @DAIRInstitute, Coded Bias cast member, and living proof of what it costs to tell a tech company what its own systems are doing. 📐 Dr. Sasha Costanza-Chock (@schock) on design justice. The framework for asking who a system was designed by, who it was designed for, and who ends up flagged at the airport checkpoint because nobody thought about them at all. 🌍 Dr. Abebe Birhane on auditing the datasets. Principal investigator of the AI Accountability Lab, and one of the sharpest voices on what's actually inside the training data nobody wants you looking at. ⚖️ Dr. Melissa Omino (@MelissaOmino) on AI policy in the Global South. Director of CIPIT (@StrathCIPIT) at @StrathU, leading the premier East African AI policy hub and mapping how these systems are actually being used across the continent. 🤲🏾 Dr. Caroline Emmer de Albuquerque Green on care. Leading work at the University of Oxford's Institute for Ethics in AI @EthicsInAI on AI in caregiving and on how young people decide what to trust, which are two questions most of the industry would rather skip. 🎓 Follow every one of them, then tell us in the comments who else belongs on this faculty. 👇

Why do some tech companies prefer talking about AI destroying humanity instead of AI harm today? 🚨 Researcher Timnit Gebru @timnitGebru explained it powerfully in @wired : the existential panic is a smokescreen. Swipe to understand why we need to focus on real harms and how independent (Third-Party) auditors are a major key to true algorithmic justice.

"“Can a bridge decide to collapse?” The whole “Oh no, our models went rogue” thing … When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy?"

Timnit has been right since the beginning. Google fired her for it.

Timnit Gebru argues that AI companies are stoking fears of extinction to avoid discussing actual harms, like autonomous weapons. wired.com/story/one-of-ais-f…

"The internet represents hegemonic views. It does not represent [everybody] in the world." AI researcher Timnit Gebru untangles the deceptive nature of large language models like Chat-GPT, and explains how so-called "superintelligence" entrenches societal biases and inequality.

📢📢📢My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders at simonandschuster.com/books/D… I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣

"As Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei Asia found in a recent investigation, just five US tech giants — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle — are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets. futurism.com/artificial-inte…

Someone on LinkedIn already compressed our open Dondo Models to run on your phone. Link to post in comments, enjoy! 😉 I leave you with his quote - "DONDO IS THE BEST OPEN SOURCE MODEL I HAVE FOUND FOR TWI & EWE" Crazy feedback in a space saturated by multibillion Big Tech 😇☺️

If machines are teaching the world about Palestine, who is teaching the machines? At PDAF 2026, the session “Automated Narratives: Who Trains the Machines that Teach the World about Palestine?” brought together researchers and experts to explore how data, algorithms, and AI systems shape knowledge and narratives about Palestine, and the risks that emerge when political biases are reproduced through automated technologies. 🎥 Watch the full session on our YouTube channel – link below. piped.video/L3dYmGie0jw?si=H3tG… #PDAF #PDAF2026 @timnitGebru @meedan @mhajneam

Congratulations to the Data Workers' Inquiry team 🎉🎉🎉

I have been thinking about Galamsey & drawing parallels to what AI modus operandi has done to Art - through the “Tragedy of the Commons” lens, Free Rider Problem etc By allowing Big Tech to treat people’s hard earned art as free Public Good we have caused MASSIVE POLLUTION 🤮

@TheAtlantic investigation reveals whose art Big tech stole to build their models. Seriously outrageous. 😡 They have stolen my music & my book 😡 Link to check whether your hard work is included in comments Hey @ManningBooks @bmi what are you doing about this nonsense?? 😡

Some ideas are inspired by coffee, while others emerge from meaningful conversations that spark curiosity and reveal new possibilities. Today, we had insightful discussions with the @DAIRInstitute team at the @DeKUTkenya Wildlife Conservancy. We shared our ongoing work and gained valuable insights into the research being conducted at DAIR. The camaraderie was refreshing and invigorating. Conversations like these serve as a reminder that some of the most meaningful advances in research begin with curiosity and a willingness to learn from one another. Meaningful research does not happen in isolation and we look forward to more engagements like this as we continue to advance impactful research. Mmekaribishwa tena! 🤗 🇰🇪

Happy to see Laurenz Sachenbacher from data-workers.org as a Neo-Cypherpunk Summit speaker! Laurenz is currently completing his master's in the field of Philosophy of Technology at TU Berlin. His expertise lies in Marxist theory, the history of labor struggles, and ethical reflections on technological developments. Data Workers’ Inquiry is a joint project of @DAIRInstitute, Weizenbaum Institut, and TU Berlin. Led by @MilagrosMiceli , team brings together experts in sociology, political science, philosophy, and labor studies to uncover the hidden labor behind AI, to challenge the status quo and push for change. 14th june, Berlin: s26ber.web3privacy.info

🎧NEW: In the latest episode of the #WITHpod series “The AI End Game: Power, Profit, and Progress," @chrislhayes is joined by founder of the Distributed AI Research Institute @timnitgebru to examine what is missing from large language models, the risks they pose, and how AI can reflect the biases embedded in society.

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world. airesistlist.org

AI is not replacing humans, said @MilagrosMiceli in a visionary talk at the Brussels Economic Forum. She said "nobody was fired because of AI, it is still a managerial decision". The research lead at @DAIRInstitute added: 'AI will always need the input of humans.'
