I am starting a thread on killing at warfare:

It has already been possible to change an #iPhone's default web browser through the "Settings" app since iOS 14.

#Apple has a March 6 legal deadline to introduce app sideloading in the European Union in order to comply with the Digital Markets Act #DMA, and iOS 17.4 will add support for this. #Sideloading will allow Apple users to download apps outside of the App Store, but the change will be limited to customers in the EU.

Now is an opportunity to improve your web experience… and your safety…

I am looking for #online training on #ethicsInTech or #aiEthics.
Level: postgraduate (or "second level": after Bachelor)
Workload: at least 100 hours!

This distance-taught programme looks impressive:
https://efi.ed.ac.uk/data-and-artificial-intelligence-ethics/
Programme Director: Professor @ShannonVallor
It also is very selective and expensive 😀

Harvard and LSE have interesting modules but i personally avoid business approaches.

Would you recommend another distance postgraduate #learning programme on #ethicsInTech or #aiEthics?

#Lavender is traditionally used in France to reduce the moth population.

Only a small proportion of French Jews emigrate to #IsraelPalestine. These Binationals are subject to compulsory military service.

This army prepared and launched the first #AIWar in 2021: https://techhub.social/@estelle/111510965384428730

A development team has designed a more efficient product, which a Frenchman has suggested calling Lavander: https://techhub.social/@estelle/112220409975979758 @palestine

"When #engineers frame their work as apolitical or “purely” technical, they are not being naïve. Some may genuinely believe that #technology can be fully neutral, but many rhetorically employ a strategic naivety, because they know it allows the #IETF to continue to exist, and their employers to continue to benefit from its decisions about internet standards.
This cultural imperative to downplay or sideline politics in" #tech decisions creates a steep hurdle for society.

There is no judicial truth. Organisations cannot "do Justice". Let's discuss the biases of the judicial institutions.

If we live in a "solutionist age" (remember: E. Morozov), why are technological solutions to the climate issue ( #geoengineering e.g. direct air capture) so unpopular (meaning: at least in Germany, I don't see any significant public support)?

Any educated guess?

#AI systems accelerate the pace of war. "AI can contribute to mis- or disinformation, creating and amplifying dangerous misunderstandings in times of war. AI systems may increase the human tendency to trust suggestions from machines (this is highlighted by the Habsora system, named after the infallible word of God)".
"If a person has enough similarities to other people labelled as an enemy combatant, they too may be labelled a combatant themselves."

"A ratings system like #Uber’s is prone to reputation inflation and becoming less informative. So why not change it? Maybe because the point isn’t really to inform platform users, it’s to indirectly control the workforce."

Rating agencies may still freely automatically "score" individuals if it does not provide critical decision-making support.

"Là où on pense qu’il n’y a que machines et procédures automatiques, il y a en fait des humains qui chopent des tendinites et doivent faire des choix compliqués.[…] Là où on pense que les catégories sont claires, qu’il y a des données et des résultats, on s’aperçoit que les données ne sont pas données, qu’il faut les construire et que dans cette construction, entrent de la subjectivité, de la morale et même de la politique."
