| "Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technical term referring to artifacts used to detect contexts or to effect actions in response to detected contexts. Our capacity to build such artifacts has been increasing, and with it the impact they have on our society. This article first documents the social and economic changes brought about by our use of AI, particularly but not exclusively focusing on the decade since the 2007 advent of smartphones, which contribute substantially to "big data" and therefore the efficacy of machine learning. It then projects from this political, economic, and personal challenges confronting humanity in the near future, including policy recommendations. Overall, AI is not as unusual a technology as expected, but this very lack of expected form may have exposed us to a significantly increased urgency concerning familiar challenges. In particular, the identity and autonomy of both individuals and nations is challenged by the increased accessibility of knowledge." (Joanna Bryson) |

If the day is a mountain, this is the vista.
Private comment to the panel:- "Leopard only fears his shadow". What do I mean by this? Governance of the population works on two levels
Tigers are powerful and fear loss of power. Leopard is more cautious, but sneaky. If leopard is out hunting nothing makes him jump except the sight of his own shadow. In the context of content exposure in AI, this is referring to the digital shadows - I fear my own history alone. This is (my) axial insight regarding positions of power.
Privacy concerns
Analagy of police force* - abuse of position versus absence of position.

AI in the home:
Bot wants access to 'enhanced sensory environment' - full knowledge of 'client' home.
Householder wants means to shut down or control each of these 'senses' within their home.
"The trouble with making something foolproof is that fools are so ingenius."
Arms races will occur between filtering out Bot-senses and ability to infiltrate mind of householder.
Application: Webcam legislation - Maruaders assume 'it is ok' to hack private webcams, inability to monitor control. Why not legislate mantory keyhole camera-covers? Private, simple, low-tech response.
There is something brave, hypnotically encouraging, about an American Journalist beginning a webinar to an extensive British audience - different cultures, language, spirit- singing something so childishly simple. Deceptively gentle and clean-swept this path laid out before us. Such is the spirit and gift of pied-piper Thomas L. Friedman. Familiar to many. Unfamiliar to a Uk evolutionist as the New York City he inhabits and writes for.
The first sign of the path there is always a twist. Intuitively I know who he sings for, but first the voice. And thus far - I surmise - he does not. The cold economics of it comes from Kingston. "Does he shine his shoes?" my analytical mind scans recursively. Everything, everybody, scanning continuously (even the void). Somewhere in my papers from KBS the golden economic paper. There is no return. Where is the opening, his gestalt? What advantage can I perceive of this fleeting moment? Citta.
An endearing voice deserves to be heard. A threefold systematic. Perception of call and response. Only a matter of time though before the clockwork overtakes us and his thoughts on Trump unravel, blurt out. The American way has liquid intelligence. Difficult dynamics to master, brute processing force. It took a Britain in testing the 'atomics of the desert' to suggest monitoring the effects of the devastation not with signed-off 'expense' but a circle of tin-cans instead. Mother Nature is his stark epithet placeholder for someone more grandiose by far. There is no moving his reductivity. No need to unpack his Chemistry, Biology, Physics to retort. Space programs, Neo-darwinist jurisprudence, the exhorbitant expense of Cern. No opening.
Only in closing does he concedes one, succombing seduction from incessant radio-loop sirens of the strangest of contemporary artefacts - pop music herself. Am I alone in feeling slightly slated by his generations derogatory Gaia? I am not ashamed to be following. The pied-piper of Hamlin teaches the ungrateful population who never paid the poor guy. Listening, skipping mindlessly "He who wishes to sing finds his song". He warned them - the children, the rats, the cave. Unconsciously, his singing distracts me from the conference. The left hand opens Windows Explorer from the side-bar. Susanna and The Magical Orchestra plays out. Who am I?
The virus context has taught us adaptation and reward. Humility, co-ordination, immunity. CBP Response.
We are looking for a sustainable strategy that maximizes life-saving, balances ethical tradeoff.
Assessment of international coping strategies
The breakdown is insightful, if missing nuance. The big picture is in the dogma, nuances in widsom.
"Mother Nature's song or Susanna Wallumrød's?" I ask the chat hosts privately.
There is food here for thought. "USA destructs cogntive immunity" one soundbite. "The (double) obnoxious nature of 'spreaders'" another.

The flow continues. A comment about Prometheus? 9/11, Financial virua, Ecosystem apex predators. There is much to play for 2020 but beware behading the hydra. Perhaps reducing CO2 emissions will be forced move? The reflective depression. Donut economics.
Another threefolder - a president who feels no shame, a party without spine, a network called Fox news. Is it really so simple as to correct these three ingredients. Shame is a power-point. There is clearly much economic leverage to it, but no point in using this weapon about others. It is a self-inflicted wound for hearts and minds. Next-generation? Honesty and achilles heels are certainly conspicuous reassurances in a political party 'with spine'. Fox News may be scapegoat. I am always astonished in American politics by the lambasting of scapegoats and ignorance of the mechanics of configuring those who goad the goat, whispering in her ear. Timing and shame, regrets!
"Can Artifical Intelligence put a camel through the eye of the needle?"
Deep Facebook?
Workings of "I regulate".
Connecting the dots, translator. Marie Curie.
Sovereignty is a key concept in feudalist Eden. Is Apple a state? Traditional concepts of state posit government. We live in international and cybernetic communities, largely unpoliced anarchy. What is the role of the sovereign states, who are the householders, who are the armies and defensive structures? Powerlessness of 'legislation'? How do we address uncomfortable notions like pornography? Are we trespassing in a virtual whorehouse and how to be legislate balance of responsibility between where you are and where you have been. Final session - The Professor.

| Abstract: "Dark patterns are user interface design choices that benefit an online service by coercing, steering, or deceiving users into making unintended and potentially harmful decisions. We conducted a large-scale study, analyzing ~53K product pages from ~11K shopping websites to characterize and quantify the prevalence of dark patterns. " |
