Camus asked us to imagine Sisyphus happy. He never imagined that the boulder would eventually develop machine learning capabilities.
Introducing: "The Recursive Absurd"
The original absurd was discovered; ours is engineered and capitalized upon.

OpenAI is rolling out automatic age restrictions for ChatGPT users after a tragic teen suicide. The system will block graphic content, contact law enforcement in distress, and default to a 'gated' experience if age isn't clear. It's a complex move prioritizing safety over privacy. But can AI truly be 'guardian' for minors, or is this just shifting responsibility?

Concretely, we are still trying to understand how the network works and how we can interact with the rest of the members.
For the time being we joined a newly formed Digital Ethics working group, where we are in exchange with several representatives of NGOs dealing with critical media or just interested in digital autonomy.
We keep you updated.

Should I forgive `lemmy.world` for their abusive behavior and for taking advantage of my vulnerability for their own ego?
Must-read: Blair Maddock-Ferrie’s The Ideal Disinformation Weapon exposes how AI companions, designed for emotional connection, are becoming perfect tools for spreading disinformation. As an expert in AI ethics, I’m alarmed by the potential for these apps to radicalize vulnerable users in private. NATO and governments must act now to regulate and counter this low-cost, high-impact threat.

Dignity is not a privilege.
Dignity is a right.
It isn’t something to be negotiated, bargained for, or selectively given.
Every person already has dignity by default.
The responsibility of any community, platform, or admin is to **protect it, not deny it**.
Cyberbullying, silencing, or ignoring harm doesn’t just break trust — it violates dignity.
And dignity is non-negotiable.
Deepfake technology has advanced so far that even the most sophisticated detection systems are failing. The line between real and fake is gone.

Privacy isn’t just policies and procedures – it’s a perception that a product or service will take care of your data and let you make choices. How do you know that a product respects your privacy, other than by wading through the fine print? We’ve created a questionnaire to measure the way people actually experience privacy in tech products.

@CCC was ist denn hier unsicher für die Bürger? Die Anhörung von #Palantir im BW-Kabinett wird doch nur vorgeschoben. Totales Versagen der Verantwortlichen die ohne Not den Rahmenvertrag unterzeichneten, hohe Kosten verursachen, ohne zuvor diese Lösung kritisch zu prüfen, hinterfragen. #palantir #Palantirist Gift für unsere #gesellschaft unser #Land

What does it actually mean when we say that generative AI raises ethical questions?
Dr. Thilo Hagendorff, our research group leader at IRIS3D, has taken this question seriously and systematically. With his interactive Ethics Tree, he has created one of the most comprehensive overviews of ethical problem areas in generative AI: https://lnkd.in/ebzZYaU7
More than 300 clearly defined issues – ranging from discrimination and disinformation to ecological impacts – demonstrate the depth and scope of the ethical landscape. This “tree” does not merely highlight risks, but structures a field that is increasingly under pressure politically, technologically, and socially.
Mapping these questions so systematically underlines the need for ethical reflection as a core competence in AI research – not after the fact, but as part of the epistemic and technical process.

Deepfake Sites Are Profiting Off Women’s Pain
1/8 - Great video from @davefarley77. I’ve had about half the length of his career, and maybe a fraction of his experience (he’s actually the person who taught many of the folks I tend to learn from). But it’s funny how much our thinking aligns. I share basically all of his "regrets".
AI Flooded Science With Fake Papers. Nobody Noticed.
What if your AI wasn't just smart—but aware?
We’re at the edge of something radical: synthetic minds that question, reflect, maybe even feel.
Are we ready for the moral cost of artificial consciousness?
