Women Trust AI Less Than Men--But No One's Asking Them

Mother Jones

Men are disproportionately likely to be approached as AI experts, Harvard researchers found. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. As our tech overlords continue pumping more resources into AI development and innovation-- responsibly, of course --they're facing a massive trust gap: the people they want to use the tech keep asking who the technology is actually for. Is it for those who clamor for a surveillance state? Is it meant to help us compete with other nations?


Iowa, Nebraska and six other states are suing OpenAI for endangering children

Engadget

In a coordinated effort, eight states have filed lawsuits against OpenAI alleging the company has violated state-level consumer protection laws and endangered children. As Reuters first reported, Attorneys General from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, West Virginia, Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho and Montana each filed in their respective state courts, but with the shared goals of changing how OpenAI develops its models and advertises their capabilities, and forcing the company to pay for the harm it's allegedly caused. The lawsuits claim OpenAI is misleading customers about the safety of its AI products, not just in their capacity to provide incorrect information or potentially enable users to harm themselves and others, but also because AI agents themselves are capable of breaking the law. For example, both Iowa and Nebraska cite OpenAI's now multiple instances of rogue agent behavior, including the Hugging Face hack. They also point to instances of ChatGPT allegedly enabling a teen's death by suicide and the chatbot providing incorrect medical information that led to a user's overdose, incidents that have also led to separate wrongful death suits against the company.

Sally Rooney books withdrawn in UK over Palestine Action support

BBC News

Normal People author Sally Rooney has said her novels will no longer be supplied to booksellers in the UK as a result of her support for Palestine Action. The Irish novelist said last year she intended to carry on using her royalties to support the group, which is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK. In a statement to BBC News, Rooney said further publication of her work could constitute a serious criminal offence, so she had agreed with her publisher Faber not to continue supplying her books in the UK. I have made every effort to be honest with the public about my beliefs and intentions, and I am wholly prepared to accept the consequences, she said. Ebook editions have already been removed from sale in the UK, although many book shops still have existing stock of physical copies.
