19 | Terrance | Detroit puts limits on Facial Recognition | https://www.pcmag.com/news/detroit-police-can-no-longer-use-facial-recognition-as-the-sole-reason | ||||||||||||||||||
20 | The Detroit Police Department can no longer use facial recognition results as its only basis for an arrest. | ||||||||||||||||||||
21 | The new rule doesn't mean that officers can't use facial recognition as part of their process; it only dictates that it can't be used as the sole basis for a person's arrest. Under the agreement, police are also not allowed to conduct a lineup based solely on facial-recognition results. | ||||||||||||||||||||
22 | Notes*** - We first talked about this nearly 3 years ago on the first episode of TTJ. - The gentlemen's name is Robert Williams and what made this so especially troublesome is that the police said to him, while he was beting arrested, that it didn't really look like him, but, they had no choice. - What made it heinous was that the police created a line up where his face looked more the like perpetrator than anyone else. | ||||||||||||||||||||

30 | "Under Article 5(2) of the DMA, gatekeepers must seek users’ consent for combining their personal data between designated core platform services and other services, and if a user refuses such consent, they should have access to a less personalised but equivalent alternative.

19 | Microsoft recalls Recall, for now... Recall essentially takes snapshots of a Windows users screen every 5 seconds when content changes and stores them in a timeline. Users can then search for content using natural language, including images and text, by describing how they remember it. Recall also uses optical character recognition (OCR) to analyze the snapshots and make searching easier. The problem so many people is ReCall is two-fold. Using it could be a gaping hole in security. No really trusts Microsoft to keep Recall turned off for those who don't want to use it under any circumstances. | https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-delays-recall-after-security-concerns-and-asks-windows-insiders-for-help/ | |||||||||||||||||||

20 | -- The researchers looked at the activity of 664,391 voters matched to active X (then Twitter) users, and found a subset of them who were massively over-represented in terms of spreading false and misleading information. -- These 2,107 users exerted (with algorithmic help) an enormously outsized network effect in promoting and sharing links to politics-flavored fake news. -- On a given day, about 7% of all political news linked to specious news sites, but 80% of those links came from these few individuals. | ||||||||||||||||||||

23 | Spotify also is the music streaming service with the least churn. --Spotify listeners are the least likely to cancel among the major video or audio streaming services in the US, according to the research firm Antenna.

GPT-4o is available in the free tier of ChatGPT starting today and to subscribers to OpenAI’s premium ChatGPT Plus and Team plans with “5x higher” message limits. | https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/13/openais-newest-model-is-gpt-4o/ | |||||||||||||||||||

37 | Wrap Up | AI is everywhere, only getting bigger, and big tech companies know that people are worried about losing their jobs because of it. So much so, big tech companies including Cisco, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, SAP, and Accenture have come together to form the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium to allay fears of AI job takeovers. The ITC aims to push back against the notion that AI will lead to job losses, citing the need for reskilling and upskilling within the information and communication technology industry specifically. The ITC will evaluate the impact of AI on 56 ICT job roles selected for their “strategic significance” and provide training recommendations for the roles affected in a report it plans to publish this summer. | https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/04/big-tech-companies-form-new-consortium-to-allay-fears-of-ai-job-takeovers/ | ||||||||||||||||||

19 | There is a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that illustratres how AI fails to detect depression signs in social media posts by Black American as compared to their white counterparts. | https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/ai-fails-detect-depression-signs-social-media-posts-by-black-americans-study-2024-03-28/ | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | Notes: -Previous research on social media posts had indicated that people who frequently use first-person pronouns, such as I, me or mine, and certain categories of words, such as self-deprecating terms, are at higher risk for depression. -The off the shelf AI software used to analyze posts from 868 volunteers which included equal numbers of Black and white adults found that "I-talk" or self-focused attention, self-deprecation, self-criticism and feeling like an outsider were related to depression exclusively for white individuals. -The authors of the study say that "Race seems to have been especially neglected in work on language-based assessment of mental illness". -This study highlights the risk of training AI models for healthcare-related tasks without data from diverse racial and ethnic groups. | ||||||||||||||||||||

22 | There is a young man named Joel Bervell, a.k.a., The Medical Mythbuster, who has been saving lives by tackling racial and gender disparities in healthcare. The Washington State University meidcal student has hundreds of millions of view on social media, millions of followers and has caught the of the White House, Oprah Winfrey, and just last week appeard on the Kelly Clarkson show. Notes: - Blood Oximeters are three times more likely to overistimate oxygen saturation levels in Black patients compared to their white counterparts. - Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) tests, used to detect kidney function, just recenlty (2021) removed the Black Multiplier in their calculations | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2-cS-Qrzzg | |||||||||||||||||||

53 | According to the Wall Street Journal, online retailers Temu and Shein, have supplanted Walmart and Target as focal points in internal meetings related to retail. Temu has gone on an advertising blitz, spending billions of dollars and becoming the top advertiser by revenue on Meta Platforms in 2023. Amazon executives believe customer trust and fast delivery will continue to give them a competitive advantage. Amazon’s massive warehouse network and its millions of Prime subscribers are a barrier to the newer rivals in the U.S., but, these factors are less prevalent overseas where it could be more difficult for the company to defend itself against competitors. | https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/amazons-new-focus-fending-off-rivals-temu-and-shein-5c6ac205 | |||||||||||||||||||

19 | I wanted to kick us off this week picking up with a story week talked about last week. The idea of forcing TikTok to sell its U.S. assets or be banned started to make the news the week before last. Since we talked about it last Monday, the House of Representatives, in an overwhelming show of bipartisanship, passed the bill with 352 votes for, 65 against, and 1 vote present. The bill rests with the Senate as president Biden said he will sign the bill if it gets to his desk. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/03/12/tik-tok-bill-house-vote/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzEwMjE2MDAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzExNTk4Mzk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MTAyMTYwMDAsImp0aSI6ImQ0NGRlMTBhLWU1MDItNGVkMi04NDhkLTg0MjI0ZjkwMWRkMiIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2d5LzIwMjQvMDMvMTIvdGlrLXRvay1iaWxsLWhvdXNlLXZvdGUvIn0.NUDKFifHBGN3muaIq285CD5q_B08XOeIufG2FPivz7U | |||||||||||||||||||

21 | Reuters reported that the Central Intelligence Agency launched a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government during the Trump administration. The CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported. -- Is what the CIA efforted to do in China what the federal government is so worried about actually happening here in the United States? | https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-launched-cia-covert-influence-operation-against-china-2024-03-14/ | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | I don't think the federal government is terribly concerned about China having access to U.S. Citizens data. Not concerned enough to pass a law like this. It is much more concerned about the Chinese state having a piece of software installed on 100's of millions of American's devices which could be used to sway sentiment and opinion. | discussion | |||||||||||||||||||

33 | Black Tech Nation Ventures, the venture capital arm of nonprofit Black Tech Nation, closed on a $50 million fund to make Pittsburgh a haven for Black technologists and entrepreneurs. The question is are funds like BTNV which focus on supporting Black, Latinx, female, indigenous and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs building tech companies, discriminatory? Recently, Atlanta-based venture capital firm Fearless Fund was sued by conservative activists who say that by only offering grants to Black woman business owners, the fund was excluding white business owners. Some similar funds are losing investors, and even having trouble maintaining staffing. | https://www.cityandstatepa.com/politics/2024/03/black-tech-nation-ventures-vows-help-startups-marginalized-founders-thrive-after-closing-50-million-inaugural-fund/394868/ | |||||||||||||||||||

20 | Last week Meta announced that it will not "proactively recommend political content from accounts you don't follow" on Threads. You can follow accounts that do, but, the algorythim won't reccommend accounts with political content if you don't already follow them. -- This all sounds good until you think about it...

30 | Robb | HBCUs are gearing up for the global chip competition through a new partnership with the Biden Administration. | https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-administration-announces-5-billion-commitment-research-development/story?id=107088192 | ||||||||||||||||||
31 | We haven't talked a lot about the CHIPS Act on the Tech Jawn, but it is the the statute signed into law August, 9th 2022 by President Joe Biden which authorizes roughly $280 billion in new funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States. To make a long story short, the global pandemic showed America just how dependent it is on semiconducters made outside of the United States. Global production shut down which impacted our ability to get the tech we needed when we needed it and both sides of Congress saw this as an exisential threat. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act | |||||||||||||||||||
32 | Just last Friday, the Biden/Harris administration annouced that more than $5 billion in CHIPS Act funds will go to semiconductor-related research, development, and workforce needs, most of which is slated for the the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC). | https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-announces-over-5-bln-investments-semiconductor-related-research-development-2024-02-09/ | |||||||||||||||||||
33 | And, the day before that HBCU leaders and federal government officials convened to support research and development in advanced computer chips and diversify the semiconductor industry. Notes: -- Since the singing of the CHIPS act, companies like TSMC, Intel, Marvel Technolgies and others have started building the foundries but we have a shortage of skilled workers to power the plants. The shortage is so bad in some cases that constructione has been stalled. -- HBCUs graduate about 10% of Black college students and they promote the majority of Black engineers, and other scientific and technological professionals -- Provision 104 of the Chips and Science law mandates efforts to establish activities that engage "economically disadvantaged individuals". -- Federal government data has found that HBCUs have been underfunded for decades. In some cases intentionally so to the the point of not being able to compete. Still, HBCUs train over half the folks graduating with degrees that would allow them to do the work in these high tech feilds being created by the CHIPS Act. | ||||||||||||||||||||

According to a new paper that was recently pushed to the preprint server arXiv, AMIE should be able to take in the information from patients and then provide clear explanations of where their medical conditions currently are. AMIE isn’t designed to replace doctors, though. Google’s AI doctor system is merely meant to act as an assistant for the doctor for wellness visits and consultations. | ||||||||||||||||||||

22 | Robb | Meta is going to stop treating older teens like adults and is efforting to curb harmful material and reduce unwanted interactions on their Faceook and Instagram timelines. Meta plans to automatically restrict teen Instagram and Facebook accounts from harmful content including videos and posts about self-harm, graphic violence and eating disorders. It would be lovely to say that Meta is doing this simply because it is the right thing to do, but, the company is currently being sued by 40 states because of the psycological harm the company knows its content inflicts on children, particularly teen users. But with today being Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I will offer Meta one of his famous quotes, "The time is always right to do what is right." | https://www.wsj.com/tech/personal-tech/instagram-facebook-teen-content-restriction-meta-58e31d39 | In case you cannot open the WSJ Link https://docs.google.com/document/d/12F3b5iq2pahx7JB6gpX3UgBjuqdeesvfLi58aLXCN08/edit?usp=sharing | |||||||||||||||||

35 | Robb | Ya'll remember back in the wake of the George Floyd murder, you had all kinds of tech companies including Google and Meta setting up new programs aimed at supporting Black employees? Google's Sundar Pichai said the goal was “to build sustainable equity for Google’s Black+ community, and externally, to make products and programs helpful in the moments that matter most to Black users.” Tech companies pleged to invest millions of dollars to improve diversity in their ranks and support external groups doing work on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and it would appear that all that smoke lasted for about 3 years. | https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/22/google-meta-other-tech-giants-cut-dei-programs-in-2023.html | ||||||||||||||||||
36 | By mid-2023, DEI-related job postings had declined 44% from the same time a year prior. In November 2023 it dropped 23% year over year. That’s a sharp contrast with the period from 2020 to 2021, when those postings expanded nearly 30%. | ||||||||||||||||||||
37 | My question for each of ya'll... Did you expect the DEI era to last longer, end sooner, or is 3 years about what you were expecting? | ||||||||||||||||||||
38 | Is DEI Dead? A LinkedIn poll finds that out of over 500 responses, 40% of respondents felt that the future of DEI is less investments and funding in DEI. Twenty-five percent of respondents indicated that there will be less focus on race and racism in DEI efforts. Nineteen percent of respondents said that what we’re seeing now is the end of DEI as we know it, and 16% felt that DEI would stay the same. | https://www.forbes.com/sites/janicegassam/2023/07/16/is-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-officially-dead/?sh=74b59ef749e1 | |||||||||||||||||||

39 | - Allgood said the meeeting with Huang was “the single most devastating 45 minutes of my professional life.” - Tsado felt that Huang might have "the luxury" of waiting but, as a member of one of the underserved communities at Nvidia, nothing else was more important than tackling the issues raised immediately. - Only one out of a sample of 88 S&P 100 companies ranked lower than Nvidia based on their percentages of Black and Hispanic employees in 2021. !% of Nvidea employees were Black at the time, a number that hadn't moved since 2015. - Huang said that the diversity of the company would ensure that its AI products were ethical, but, he didn't mean diversity of people, but, diversity of thought. |

Specifically for treating Sickle Cell Anemia which affects more than 100,000 Americans, my brother-in-law, being one of them. The therapy, called Casgevy, from Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics uses the CRISPR gene-editing tool which won the Nobel Prize for chemistry back in 2020. This gene-editing therapy has a ridiculous success rate... 29 of 30 who completed the treament and continued follow-up check-ins report no symptoms of the debilitating desease more than 2 years later. It also has a ridiculous price tag of $2.2 million dollars per patient. | https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-approves-cure-sickle-cell-disease-first-treatment-use-gene-editing-rcna127979 | |||||||||||||||||

And I won't even make you guess what those TOS changes do. 23andMe's new TOS prevents customers from formally suing the firm or pursuing class-action lawsuits against it. | https://www.axios.com/2023/12/07/23andme-terms-of-service-update-data-breach | |||||||||||||||||||

22 | 2 | Steph, I think you were out the week Terrance and I talked about Apple reversing course and deciding to support RCS on the iPhone sometime next year. To be clear, RCS is not coming to iMessage... It's coming to the iPhone... So you should still be able to call folks out with green bubbles who mess up the serenity of your iMessage chats. My gut tells me that Apple will really lean into the differences between RCS and iMessage because last week, Apple reportedly got a reprieve from having to make iMessage interoperable with other messaging systems in the EU per the Digital Markets Act. as It is rumored that the Competition and Markets Authority in the EU doesn't believe enough people use iMessage in the European Economic Area to classify it with "gatekeeper" status. If iMessage isn't a gatekeeper like WhatsApp or Facbook Messenger, it won't have to open up and work with other platforms. | https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/06/imessage-will-reportedly-get-a-reprieve-from-eus-interoperability-regulation/ | ||||||||||||||||||

34 | There is a good chance your your University collects data on you via homework trakers, test tacking software, license plate readers, door entry badges, library books checked out, websites visited on campus wifi, campus security cameras with facial recognition, messages read and completion rates, and you usually cannot opt out of any of this. | ||||||||||||||||||||
35 | Canvas is a LMS used by more than a third of institutions of higher learning. IT tracks what pages students view, their time spent on each page, and when they submit discussion comments or assignments. It houses students’ grades, tracks when they complete quizzes and how long they take to finish them, and it gives professors visualizations of student progress and participation in the course. The biggest issue is that "your" data is owned by Canvas, and, although it doesen't sell your data and it can only be used if it is anonymizedl, but, it can and is used to to train alorithms and predictive models. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Seemigly on a whim, with no transistion plan in place, and without notfiying its biggest investors or getting their take. 2. OpenAI's board realizes that they have possibly irreparably damaged the company and tries to rehire Sam Altman as CEO, less than 24 hours after it fired him. 3. Talks break down as Altman demands board members who voted for his ouster step down and Microsoft demands a voting seat on the board. 4. Microsoft hires Altman and Greg Brockman, OpenAI founder and president who resigned immediately after Altman was fired, to run new AI Innovation team. 5. OpenAI employees threaten to leave if board isn't replaced and Altman brought back in at the helm. 6. Sam Altman soon to be onboarded as a CEO within Microsoft with go ahead to hire hundreds of employees for new AI Innovation team.

27 | 35:40:00 | Amazon has launched a program where it plans to train millions of workers in artificial intelligence skills by 2025… for free. The goal for “AI Ready,” is to train at least two million people on basic to advanced AI skills, including how to make use of the generative AI technology that has powered language-based models such as ChatGPT. The training is centered on eight online courses focusing on generative AI and is aimed at both beginners and those with more experience. | https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/amazon-launches-free-ai-classes-in-bid-to-win-talent-arms-race-b881d9b1?mod=followamazon | ||||||||||||||||||

20 | CRISPR gene editing therapy worked to cure syptoms of sickle cell anemia in 29 of 30 patients followed for 18 months. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and it essentially allows you disrupt a targeted gene, or, if a DNA template is added to the mix, insert a new sequence at the precise spot desired. (Reliable Gene Editing) Victoria Gray, the first person to undergo the gene therapy is thriving nearly 3 1/2 years later.

32 | Banks leaned on the fact that federal law only required them to pay back fraud victims if they didn’t authorize criminal transactions, leaving people who were tricked into approving payments in a lurch. Reuters wrote that the institutions were worried that if they started paying people back, it would only encourage more imposter fraud. But the Federal Trade Commission said early this year that such scams were already reported more for all payment types than any other fraud category in 2022. | ||||||||||||||||||||
33 | Banks were reportedly also concerned about encouraging fraud by eating the cost of transaction authorizations. But Early Warning Services (EWS) — the company that Zelle operates under — created a way for banks to “claw back funds from recipients’ accounts” to get the money back to their victims. As part of the new policies, EWS now requires banks to flag suspicious transfers, such as those tied to accounts that have no prior Zelle transactions. | ||||||||||||||||||||

32 | Robb | You may remember Dr. Joy Buolamwini, the Rhodes Scholar, Fulbright fellow, and Stamps Scholar from when we talked about Gender Shades, the paper she co-authored with Timnit Gebru which exposed how commercial facial recognition systems often failed to recognize the faces of Black and brown people, especially Black women. | https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/29/1082632/joy-buolamwini-were-giving-ai-companies-a-free-pass/?truid=*%7CLINKID%7C*&utm_source=the_download&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the_download.unpaid.engagement&utm_term=*%7CSUBCLASS%7C*&utm_content=*%7CDATE:m-d-Y%7C* | ||||||||||||||||||

23 | Robb | Netflix is raising prices again | |||||||||||||||||||
24 | 16.27 | Yall remember all that talk about Netflix cracking down on Password sharing? Folks were talking like they would never sign up to Netflix, or, go to a competitor just to spite the company if they had to start paying for "their own content". Welp, Netflix had one of its best quarters in recent memory increasing global subscribers by 9%, fueled by, Guess What? Netflix's password crackdown. The company also saw a 70% increase in its new ad-supported plans... One could say that things are going pretty well at Netflex, so, it only make sense that the company is jacking up prices for the second time this year. That's right... Good news for Nextflix doesn't translate in to good news for subscribers. The $9.99 Basic plan which you cannot even subscribe to any longer is going to $11.99 and the Premium plan is jumping 3 dollars to $22.99. | |||||||||||||||||||

26 | Robb | Google is rolling out RSS to YouTube Music and will make podcast discovery better... Better for who is the real question. | https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/20/23925917/youtube-hot-pod-goodbye-podcasting-bust | ||||||||||||||||||
27 | 26.05 | Explainer.... Back in February Google announced that it was bring Podcasts to YouTube Music and that it would eventually allow you to add Podcasts to YouTube via RSS. A little over a month ago, Google announced that it was killing Google Podcasts in favor of YouTube music. This was a little odd, because, 1. There is no way to add podcasts to YT Music via RSS or OPML files from other podcatchers, and 2. YT Music is trash as a podcatcher. Last week, Google hosted a webinar letting users know that RSS integration is currently being rolled out and the rules that content creators would have to abided by... No dynamic ad insertion and your should would actually be copied and hosted from YouTube servers, not the host server specified in your RSS feed. Most podcasters are unhappy with this and are complaining loudly. Google isn't doing this to futher along podcasting. They're are doing it to generate watch hours for their own advertising which they will glady split with you, when meet its minimum requirements for monetization. | |||||||||||||||||||

19 | Robb | The European Union is not messing around when it comes to disinformation about the war between Israel and Hamas. The EUs industry chief, Thierry Breton, issued 24 hour ultimatiums to X and Meta to respond to what each company was doing in light of the misinformation / disinformation on their respective platforms. X CEO Linda Yaccarino responded back, but, her said response lacked speficics and the EU has lauched a formal investigation. Meta also responded within the 24-hour window offering specific details such as the creation of an updated content monitoring action plan, an operations center with Hebrew and Arabic speaking experts, and how it has removed over 795,000 distinct pieces of content in Hebrew or Arabic and removed or marked them with a disturbing label in the three days following the terrorist attack by Hamas. | https://www.engadget.com/meta-responds-to-eu-misinformation-concerns-regarding-israel-hamas-conflict-102640126.html | ||||||||||||||||||

35 | Robb | Lately, when we’ve talked about TikTok it was often about how one government entity or another wanted to shutter access the social media giant because it feels some type of way about TikTok’s parent company ByteDance being under the thumb of the government of China. Calls for a ban on TikTok have faded away recently, but, the company was back in the news last week because of a lawsuit filed by two Black employees. Nnete Matima and Joël Carter both claim TikTok has a practice of downplaying complaints of racial discrimination and then retaliates against people who speak out, having a chilling effect on other employees from coming forward. And they’ve taken their cases to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which filed a class action lawsuit last Thursday. | https://www.npr.org/2023/09/21/1200727549/2-black-tiktok-workers-claim-discrimination | ||||||||||||||||||
36 | Steph | In a CNN report, Nnete details her experiences of discrimination which she says started her first week on the job after joining a division of about 40 where she was the only African American. “Her managers were overly patronizing and gave her heavier workloads than her white colleagues — requiring her to shoulder 75% of the sales outreach for the smaller four-person team she worked on” | https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/21/tech/tiktok-black-employees-discrimination-legal-complaint/index.html | ||||||||||||||||||
37 | Terrance | Notes.... - required to generate 75% of leads for a team of 4 - good leads were taken and redistributed to white employees - was left out out of meetings and conferences - was commonly referred to as "black snake" by managers and supervisors | |||||||||||||||||||
38 | Discussion... Not that any of this stuff isn't bad enough, but, when you do what you are supposed to do... Taking this to HR... you are litterly gaslit and told that "there is nothing wrong here"... The bruh (Joël) said after a year on the job and being promoted, basically the same thing happened to him. Then added that he seemed angry and tense once he complained about it. |

30 | Set up | The European Commission recently, officially, confirmed the companies that fall under the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) as gatekeepers. The DMA aims keep large companies from imposing unfair conditions on businesses and end users and at ensuring the openness of important digital services. Meta was deemed to be a gatekeeper and two of its messaging platforms, WhatsApp Messenger and Facebook Messenger now fall under the purview of the DMA and will have retstictions placed upon them, including, having to make themselves interoperable with other messaging platforms. WhatsApp beta is already indicating that it will have support for what is calling "Third-Party Chats" and one would assume Meta will do something similar in Facebook Messenger. Apple, however, aruged to keep iMessage out of the gatekeeper designation, and, for rigth now at least, iMessage does not fall under the purview of the DMA. | https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-beta-for-android-2-23-19-8-whats-new/ | ||||||||||||||||||
31 | Discussion | - iMessage is huge in North America... Not so much everywhere else. - iMessage is being evaluated to see if it should recieve gatekeeper status - If other platforms are interoperating with each other, does iMessage still benefit from being completely siloed? | |||||||||||||||||||

25 | Robb | African Americans overrepresent when it comes to podcast listeners. In the 18+ category 43% of Blacks have listened to a podcast in the last month campared to 39% of other demographics combined. We are 8%percent more likely to act on podcast sponsorships or promotions compared to 49% of U.S. weekly listeners. Black audiences are highly engaged and active, so, why do Black creators struggle to find sponsorships and advertisers willing to work with us and our audiences. According to a report by Urban One and Sounder, Black creators are disproportionately marginalized in the advertising community due to what some call "conversational themes" at the forefront of media plans. Ad buyers lack the tools with insights to buy inventory in Black communities, leading them to target more generalized markets. ------ Notes: Many of our listeners are probably familiar with Urban One. It is the largest diversified Black-owned media organization and the country's largest distributor of urban content. Urban One reaches an estimated 51M people and an estimated 80% of all Black Americans monthly through its combination of audio, digital, and linear assets and/or properties. But check this out, if Urban One were to rely on legacy keyword-based solutions of any kind, 92% of all Urban One episodes are removed from the available inventory. This is where Sounder comes in with its AI/ML trained on AAVE, Black colloquialisms, slang, and cultural norms to provide better brand and saftey suitability solutions which vastly increases suitable brand alignment. Of that same Urban One programming running through Sounder's models, only 10% is removed from advertiser inventory. | https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/62bdbc7922d6536a6d069320/64de90001930f8970231c691_UrbanOne_Sounder_Black_Podcast_Brand_Safety_Report-compressed_2.pdf | ||||||||||||||||||

19 | Robb | We are going to get to our guest, but, before we do we want to talk about yet another case of inaccurate AF facial recognition being used to arrest folks for crimes they didn’t commit, and on top of that travesty of justice, is exacerbated by poor policing that should have cleared up the situation from the jump. This time were are going to talk about Porcha Woodruff, a Detriot native, who at the time of her arrest for being suspected of carjacking, was 8 months pregnant. -- Arrested in Feburary at home while getting her children ready for school -- The crime was committed on January 29th -- Faulty facial ID was based on an mugshot taken in 2015 -- Miss Woodruff's lawyer claims that the 2015 mug shot looks nothing what she looks like today, and she definitely didn't look 8 months pregnant. -- The victim was never shown Miss Woodruff's current driver's license photo or questioned about her being visibly pregnant which he never mentioned when giving her description. -- Detective LaShauntia Oliver should have been able to clear Miss Woodruff in 5 minutes according to Miss Woodruff's lawyers | https://nypost.com/2023/08/06/porcha-woodruff-sues-detroit-after-police-arrested-her-8-months-pregnant/ | ||||||||||||||||||
20 | Detroit police changing facial-recognition policy Facial recognition produced a lead in the case, but, according to Police Chief James White, was followed by "very poor" police work leading up the wrongful arrest of Miss Woodruff. White said his officers will not be allowed “to use facial-recognition-derived images in a photographic lineup. Period.” He said two captains must review arrest warrants when facial technology is used in a case, among other changes. | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/detroit-police-changing-facial-recognition-policy-pregnant-woman-says-rcna99290 | |||||||||||||||||||

27 | A few weeks ago after SAG-AFTRA joined the WGA for the first joint strike of writers and actors in 63 years we pondered the question we would see opportunities for creators? Well, it's looking like both writers and actors are tapping into their social media followings and are creating all types of non-struck works from podcasts, to live streams, to membership communities, and more, and it's doubtfull that things will ever go back to the ways that things were. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/23/hollywood-strike-creator-economy/ | |||||||||||||||||||

Given that generative AI is poised to create the next wave of millionaires and billionaires, it’s essential, in my opinion, for black people. | ||||||||||||||||||||

23 | The European Parliament, a main legislative branch of the European Union, passed a draft law known as the A.I. Act, which would put new restrictions on what are seen as the technology’s riskiest uses. It would severely curtail uses of facial recognition software, while requiring makers of A.I. systems like the ChatGPT chatbot to disclose more about the data used to create their programs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
24 | - The act bans the use of AI for: predictive policing, real-time biometric ID in public, emotion recognition for law enforcement, border management or workplace uses, and untargeted scraping of images from the internet or CCTV to create a facial recognition database. - It categorises applications by risk. For example video games and spam filters are in the lowest risk category. Apps that use AI for credit risk or issuing loans are examples in the highest risk category where the strictest controls would be applied. Social media recommender systems were added to the high risk category as well. - requires transparency about what copyrighted data was used for training and requires companies to disclose when content was generated by a machine model. - requires preventions against generation of illegal, racist or biased content. | https://www.zdnet.com/article/eu-moves-ahead-with-draft-law-to-regulate-ai/ | |||||||||||||||||||

23 | Back last year when Google announced the Pixel 6, the first phone to use their new Tensor processor, it also announced Real Tone for photos. We made a big deal about it because it was the first phone manufacturer to truly address inconsistencies with darker toned people in smartphone photos. We also talked about a lot of the work that Google did over the years with its image processing agenda which stemmed back from when Google Photos misidentified Black men as Gorillas in 2015. Google vowed to fix the problem, but fast foward 8 years until today and Google, nor Apple or Amazon identifiy anything as Gorrillas or even primates... Has AI powered recognition not improved enough in the past 8 years to use it, or, are these companies simlply not willing to risk it? | ||||||||||||||||||||

25 | Section 230 wins again… | https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/us/politics/supreme-court-google-twitter-230.html | |||||||||||||||||||
26 | In two cases last Thursday the SCOTUS kinda / sorta rejected clarifying the breadth of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which frees companies from liability due to user generated content on their platforms. - In Twitter v. Taamneh, the court didn't consider section 230 as "The platforms’ failure to remove such content, Justice Thomas wrote, was not enough to establish liability for aiding and abetting, which he said required plausible allegations that they “gave such knowing and substantial assistance to ISIS that they culpably participated in the Reina attack.” - In a brief, unsigned opinion in the case, Gonzalez v. Google, No. 21-1333, the court said it would not “address the application of Section 230 to a complaint that appears to state little, if any, plausible claim for relief.” The court instead returned the case to the appeals court “in light of our decision in Twitter.” | ||||||||||||||||||||

24 | - The 2+ hour keynote was mostly about AI - Didn't talk about Android until 1:20 minutes in - Like Meta went all in on the MetaVerse (mistakenly as it would appear), Google is all in on AI. From the way things appear, Google is behind Open AI and Microsoft. It does have an advantage though... Google is still Earth's default for search, gets significantly more signals for training, and, I believe can catch and surpass Open AI / Microsoft realatively soon. | ||||||||||||||||||||

26 | Guest host: Cherish Samuels - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cherishsamuels/ | I’m an engineer because of my dad. Didn’t realize all men weren’t supporters of women in engineering until I hit the real world. (Reality check) He’s also old school so he’d rather me make safer decisions but I like to take calculated career risks. | |||||||||||||||||||
27 | TSU Alum, Detroit native, Memphis resident. Mechanical engineer | ||||||||||||||||||||
28 | Most of my girl friends are in STEM careers so that was normal to me which used to make it weird when people were surprised… until I realized that most people including me didn’t have these examples as kids, and that it matters. | ||||||||||||||||||||
29 | Has worked for notable companies like McDonald's and Amazon. Not your average Amazon tech gig | ||||||||||||||||||||
30 | I stayed an engineer because of a teen black girl who said she’d never met one. She had inspired and motivated me since. | ||||||||||||||||||||
31 | Advocate for girls in STEM | ||||||||||||||||||||
32 | I love the corporate fight. It’s weird, I know. I believe I will change that world some day. | ||||||||||||||||||||
33 | |||||||||||||||||||||
34 | Amazon is the first place I’ve worked where I am almost never an “only” in the room. | ||||||||||||||||||||
35 | |||||||||||||||||||||
36 | Post baby geek identity crisis - shifting priorities have me imposter syndrome about calling myself a “geek” | ||||||||||||||||||||
37 | |||||||||||||||||||||
38 | I didn’t change my last name. My husband suggested it. Then I went to an engineer conference and got shit for it | ||||||||||||||||||||
39 | |||||||||||||||||||||
40 | Tech street cred (for the 40+ club) - I have a Razer Laptop for work and had no clue what that meant until I started getting swooned over by the gamer kids in the coffee shop | ||||||||||||||||||||
41 | |||||||||||||||||||||
42 | Email management - I pulled the ultimate corporate no-no over a year ago and decided to “stop” checking my work email, following the “advice” (that’s what I call it) of Jeff Bezos. And it changed my life. | ||||||||||||||||||||
