Creepy, Microsoft, very creepy

I recently wrote an essay exploring whether international human rights frameworks can help fill some of the gaps in AI governance. Do you think the human rights framework can be integrated into AI governance? Read the essay here: eaysa.org/2026/05/21/m... #humanrights #aiethics #academia

So we just finished a model UN-inspired workshop on AI governance with my students. We did a tech (big tech and startups,), government (security, healthcare, law enforcement) and minorities (migrants and persons with disabilities) delegations drafting recommendations. Minorities felt the struggle 😬

Impressions after giving my first university lecture: apparently 90 mins is not that long when you get to rant on your subject #academicsky

Governments prioritise transparency, NGOs fairness, and corporates reliability in AI. I think the focus should shift towards auditability, if not in code then with thorough documentation. This would make it easier to fix biased systems and make us more confident in the reliability of the outputs.

December is the month I discovered online webinars relevant for my work. What do you mean ILO will DIRECTLY explain me over the course of two weeks how to conduct human rights due diligence on decent labour??

Came across this fun term, and had to share Multidisciplinary dilenttantism: put together two fields about which you know little and get the worst of both worlds #AcademicSky

If AI is a bubble, or even “the ultimate bubble,” what does that really mean? @bcmerchant.bsky.social turns to the scholars who wrote the book on tech bubbles for a “reliable, battle-tested means of evaluating and understanding the AI mania.” www.wired.com/story/ai-bub...

It’s “lives all mortal liiiiives🎶” o’clock

Just watched Guillermo del Torro’s version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Questions of the day: why is the industry so obsessed with creating AGI? Did we learn nothing? Who would be responsible in an (unlikely) event it becomes sentient? #ai #aiethics

A philosophy podcast crossover episode you didn’t know you need: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein x AI Ethics

This 👏 is 👏 how 👏 it’s 👏 done First it was a food truck, and now a full-blown restaurant where paying is optional. An example of how you can do business sustainably and with respect to human dignity at its core. You go, Jaden 🦾

Working in sustainability, I often find myself explaining environmental / human rights trade-offs. Yes, your electric car doesn’t emit CO2, but were child labour (mica mining), state-sponsored forced labour (aluminum refining), Indigenous marginalisation (nickel mining) involved? Most likely, yes.

Migrant‘s tech frustration of the day: Filled in a form to re-wire my phone bill, and got an error saying my name should be in Japanese characters (カタカナ). Re-wrote it. “Sorry, the name you entered doesn’t match your card”. No shit. Small annoyance? Maybe. But cumulative effect is huge.
