Students from all 50 states just drafted an #AIBillofRights. They named cheating, bias, privacy mental health, environmental costs and more. The civic grammar of AI rights is traveling and we're fortunate that young people are leading the way and writing it. www.the74million.org/article/stud...

"High school students, steeped for nearly the past four years in generative artificial intelligence, face this reality daily, attending class largely without a set of agreed-upon guidelines. Over the weekend, a small group of students came together to hammer out a few basic principles for the technology, something akin to an AI Bill of Rights.

Sponsored by a group that includes an MIT research initiative and a national superintendents’ association, 100 students from all 50 states gathered here to debate a first-of-its-kind set of recommendations, to be shared with district leaders nationwide as AI proliferates rapidly in the lives of both students and teachers."

This was apparent a year ago and apparently not only to me

Every day brings a new AI product, use case or outcome. But one method endures for knowing what these systems actually do and to whom: auditing. Thrilled to share my new coauthored book, Auditing AI-a roadmap for accountability across this dynamic terrain #openaccess mitpress.mit.edu/978026205172...

The gig economy promised flexibility. Did it deliver or just create new precarity? @julietschor.bsky.social brought decades of research to bear on this question in a fascinating lecture and discussion @Institute for Advanced Study. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZWW... www.instagram.com/p/DWY6rMDiXD...

Governments regulate AI and deploy it across public uses. This AI Policy & Governance Working Group panel @ #AIImpactSummit examines accountability, procurement and safety when the state is both regulator and user. @gaiamarcus.bsky.social @ruchowdh.bsky.social @futureoflife.org impact.indiaai.gov.in

Canceled flights allowed me to see another great film at #sundance: Liz Sargent's Take Me Home, with a producing team that includes Ai-jen Poo. A beautiful meditation on disability, family, and the failures of our care systems-but also about resilience and hope. festival.sundance.org/program/film...

Just watched the world premiere of Once Upon a Time in Harlem. In 1972 William Greaves filmed Harlem Renaissance luminaries bearing witness, sparring, reciting poetry, jubilating. The film was finally complete 50 years later. It's a masterpiece and a gift. www.onceuponatimeinharlemfilm.com #sundance
