The Machine Race by Suzy Madigan

In 1 week, 1.5 million AI agents reportedly joined #Moltbook. Silicon Valley lost its mind about AI sentience. I think it tells us more about other AI risks, snake oil & human behaviour. My latest @TheMachineRace explores the Moltbook phenomenon bit.ly/4qzwVLf #AIsafety

🚨 What can emergency response & humanitarian crises teach AI creators, funders & deployers about safer AI in any context? From overstretched hospitals to frontline disaster zones, I explore 5 lessons for anyone working on #AI. #AISafety #ResponsibleAI bit.ly/4iZenAR

World leaders agree landmark pact on #digital rights at #UN. What does it mean for our #AI future?

Why does diversity in AI matter? Why do we need women in #AI? Because we’re all individuals, says Charlene Putney at #LondonTechWeek. Because why wouldn’t we need 50% of the population? We need the strands of every lived experience. #TheAISummit @LDNTechWeek #ResponsibleAI

See my LinkedIn post for what @OpenAI says is coming for #AI - and for us - at London Tech Week. @TheMachineRace posts written by @Suzy_Madigan linkedin.com/posts/suzymadi… @LDNTechWeek #AISummit #AI #AISafety #GenAI #ChatGPT #GPT4O #TheAISummit

Thrilled to be leading this work for @CARE International with @Accenture. If you’re a civil society organisation in the #GlobalSouth and have opinions on ‘responsible & inclusive #AI’, please send me a message on X or LinkedIn. @careintuk #ArtificialIntelligence #ResponsibleAI

Call to action for every #humanitarian. Maintaining business as usual without thinking about AI’s implications is like thinking politics is irrelevant to poverty or conflict.

Yes! First day of #AIUK, the UK’s national showcase of #AI & data science. Looking forward to talks on #ResponsibleAI and #AIEthics - hopefully from a truly global perspective given my focus for my regular blog series on #AI & society (by @Suzy_Madigan) @themachinerace" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@themachinerace

In 2024, over half the world’s population in around 76 countries is eligible to vote. In the age of #AI and #deepfakes, how can citizens navigate the ‘information landscape’ and know what is ‘truth’?

How do humanitarians maximise #AI and digital benefits for communication in conflict, while navigating risks in conflict zones and emergencies? In this Year of Democracy, check out this podcast and panel (yep, the @Suzy_Madigan is me) #AIforGood #TechforGood #ResponsibleAI #SDGs

Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing: ⁣ 1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.⁣ ⁣ 2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.⁣ ⁣ 3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.⁣ ⁣ 4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.⁣ ⁣ 5. Start as close to the end as possible.⁣ ⁣ 6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.⁣ ⁣ 7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.⁣ ⁣ 8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.⁣

At a critical time for navigating truth and veracity in conflict, where deepfakes make it hard to discern, @ICRC’s Director General kicks off the @CDACN discussion. Do join online. I’ll be on a panel at 3.30 with UNHCR, @Internews and IRC talking about #AI in conflict. #CDAC23

Got your ticket? I'll be on the @CDACN panel discussing communication in conflict & how do we maintain trust in info in the age of #AI? My latest @TheMachineRace blog looks at AI, war & what it means to be human. 'AI Safety: Can We Programme Humanity?' bit.ly/3QjiHOd

Heading to the last day of the #AISafetySummit fringe for an #AISummit breakfast debrief with @tegmark and Yoshua Bengio thanks to @Tortoise Media. Lot of talk about ‘golden tickets’ re limited spots at @bletchleypark this week. This might be one too. #AI

Excellent keynote from @Unesco’s @gabramosp as crucial talks on equitable AI governance are launched by @CosDorobantu and David Leslie from The Turing Institute and Queen Mary University within the #AISummit @TuringPubPol #AISafetySummit #AI #AIFringe @AISummitFringe

It's the UK #AISafetySummit. For anyone wondering if #AI is safe for everyone with the power dynamics around diversity, they must listen to Prof Abeba Birhane, speaking here @wellcometrust at Day 2 of @AISummitFringe. A brilliant appointment to UN's Advisory Body on AI @Abebab
