Tanya O’Carrroll’s case against Meta is a highlight this week. With AWO she is bringing the case on the basis of her ‘right to object’ to profiling. The press release is here. There is also this incredible story on San Francisco police’s request to use lethal drones. It doesn’t seem like a great idea. Very much related is this Forbes story on autonomous (or partially autonomous, its not entirely clear how they work) drones developed by Elbit. Suicide drones are about to enter the lexicon? The advertising video is also worth a look if thats your thing.
Thanks as always (even if I don’t always remember) to Sarah Zarmsky, and hope everyone has a nice week.
(P.S. For reading that has absolutely no connection to AI, whatsoever, this article on Desi pubs in the UK is a really enjoyable read.)
