The next set of speakers looks at the realities of AI and policy on the African continent ↘️ #AIstocktaking
@MarietjeSchaake @justinarenstein Brilliant points by @justinarenstein: SMS on Whatsapp & similar is being weaponized with ppl not realizing they are engaging with mis- & disinformation bots. 🤖
Pulling no punches @justinarenstein says mis- disinformation are not an education issue, that is victim shaming. He prefers to see campaigns as criminal enterprises. Both need entirely different solutions #AIStocktaking
Powerful point by @justinarenstein who emphasizes that the fact that AI companies have not hoovered up all data in Africa is not so bad, especially with many authoritarian regimes that may abuse technology or policy for repression #AIStocktaking
Next week, @StanfordHAI & @StanfordCyber will convene leaders at global AI Safety Institutes & international organizations as well as researchers & policy leaders on the ground in the EU, BRICS, Africa, and beyond for the AI+Policy Symposium. Register now: hai.stanford.edu/events/aipolic…
