AI ethics good and bad thread 

Bad continued: Worse is Fireflies AI, who's website hides in an FAQ that it is the meeting host's fault if they don't declare that the meeting is being recorded. No opt-out is offered. Very opaque technology and data privacy practices.

Any meeting host can invite this "automatic note taking tool" and send a third party company everyone's faces, voices, screen recordings with the explicit intent of letting it be analyzed by software.

Bad: There's competition in the space of live transcription, note taking, and screen recording.

Zoom natively can use AI to offer live captions while recording. They do prompt the user that recording has started, allowing an opt-out which is appreciated. Though it is unclear how the tech works and if anything recorded is shared with third parties.

AI ethics good and bad thread 

Good: Unreal Engine 5 phenomenally demonstrates integration of AI in an intentional way. Their game engine introduced entirely new or reimagined tools like Nanite, Lumen and more. These features are only possible in real-time computer graphics thanks to AI image upscaling and DLSS frame generation. They're making the impossible, possible, years ahead of schedule.

All this, and ethically it's safe, it is sandboxed, pure input and output without user data on the line.

AI ethics good and bad thread 

There are some amazing uses of AI happening right now sitting right alongside some horrifying use cases driven by corporate greed. We aren't talking enough about this. I want to praise scientists for pushing the boundaries of what computers can do while also shaking a finger at companies that clearly see AI as a buzzword while doing real harm without penalty.

I'll alternate between some good examples and some bad examples, perhaps some trends will become clear.
