An academic/activist crowdsourcing request:

Who is critically researching, writing or doing cool activism on the environmental impacts of AI?

I’m particularly interested in finding UK-based folks, but all recommendations are appreciated 💕 🙏

Got this email earlier and I’m still upset about it. Some unnamed “team from , & ” fed our preprint through their “" to generate "suggestions" on how we could improve it.

This feels like some really shit study that seems to think asking for consent is optional. And like one that wants to spin out into an even shittier start-up in the future (hence not giving any names of team members)?

    @gedankenstuecke @academicchatter @hci Researchers from Northwestern University also found an increasing number of abstracts in scientific papers which are generated by AI or with its support: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.07016
    Funny coincidence.

    How New Science Fiction Could Help Us Improve AI - Scientific American

    Fascinating article about organizations trying foster positive sci-fi stories about AI. Good reason why AI sci-fi is mainly negative—more plausible given humankind’s record AND more interesting. My upcoming book The HONOR System is case in point.

    DeepMind’s AI can ‘predict how all of life’s molecules interact with each other’

    "AlphaFold 3 is able to envision how the complex shapes and networks of molecules – present in every cell in the human body – are connected and how the smallest of changes in these can affect biological functions that can lead to diseases."

    @noalevi @israel @news I hope we will end at 1 Israeli life equalling 100 palestinian lives.

    But i’m not holding my breath. The ratio of 9/11 was 137 dead Iraqis for one American dead.

    Elsevier unveils Scopus for research reviews | Times Higher Education (THE)
    https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/elsevier-launches-scopus-ai-bot-literature-reviews I couldn't find information about pricing, but it seems safe to assume it is not for free. Meaning institutions have to pay for a tool that likely has been 1/ @academicchatter

    I wonder if the research done by community should be available to be parsed by an AI.
    Maybe it would be better just open for humans.

    @sposadelvento @ingorohlfing @academicchatter The problem is that AI is a function of concentrated technological capacities and capabilities (https://www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications/report-ai-in-the-public-interest-confronting-the-monopoly-threat), and even if the data and texts as data were public, as it should be, the monopolies (unless broken) would still have the upper hand in computational power.
