Borhane Blili-Hamelin, PhD
(he/him) I’m an organizer, researcher, and consultant focused on AI ethics. My focus is making AI governance more cross-disciplinary, reflective, and empowering for impacted communities. I'm the founder and director of Accountability Case Labs (https://accountabilitycaselabs.xyz), and an AI risk consultant with BABL AI.
I love to make music machines misbehave!
Fresh report from the team at BABL AI about the current state of AI governance! What kinds of AI governance tools are being used across sectors? Are they working? If they're working (or not), why? #aigovernance #aiethics #airisk https://babl.ai/the-current-state-of-ai-governance/
DOJ #antitrust lawsuit against #google ! Interesting!
Red-teaming is not a plan; it finds flaws with the goal of improving existing plans, infrastructures, and practices. #airedteam #aiharms
In this op-ed, we take a step back from our experiences at DEFCON31’s Generative Red Team challenge to reflect on the broader question of the significance of red teaming for algorithmic accountability and AI harm mitigation. https://techpolicy.press/can-we-red-team-our-way-to-ai-accountability/

Over the past few months, Open Post Academics has collaborated on a survey inviting folks to share their experiences with leaving academia. We are extremely grateful for the 210 folks who filled out the survey! Thank you! Tomorrow (January 11 at 3 pm eastern/Noon pacific), we will collaborate on analyzing the survey data in our final workshop for this ongoing research project. @bduckles@xoxo.zone #altac #postac https://www.eventbrite.com/e/33-leaving-the-academy-a-participatory-open-research-approach-tickets-440446887497

Interesting investigative piece about the current NYC rent surge: https://www.curbed.com/2023/01/nyc-real-estate-covid-more-apartments-higher-rent.html
Summary of NYC Local Law 144 hearing so far: please don't define AEDTs in a way that leaves most AEDTs out of scope.
Question for folks in the RAI space: are there sources (academic or otherwise) you especially like for helpful definitions of concepts like “performance” and “good engineering” for socio-technical systems?
Context: I’m thinking about this as part of working on refining the ethics vs performance distinction in AVID’s taxonomy: https://avidml.org/taxonomy/
