Arizona School’s Curriculum Will Be Taught by AI, No Teachers The state's charter school board approved an application on Monday from Unbound Academy to open a school with a two-hour per day academic curriculum set by AI.

K12 schools will open in the USA soon that exclusively will use #AI rather than teachers. Why would any parent send their kids there?

7/7

Jeg stiller ikke spørgsmålstegn ved en ansvarlig, gennemsigtig og inkluderende brug af nye teknologier. Men jeg tager skarpt afstand fra målet med denne taskforce, og rammerne den har fået.

6/7

▶️ Og endeligt er vi nødt til at spørge hvor effektive og smarte digitale løsninger er, hvis vi tager klimabelastningen med i det samlede regnskab. Ikke et ord nævnt om det i dækningen af taskforcen og negliceres det, er det en svigt af uendelige dimensioner.

5/7

Taskforcen, derimod, skal holde teknologien som det konstante. Det er farligt og det er uansvarligt. Noget regeringen burde allerede bemærke sig ovenpå den voldsomme kritik fra Amnesty International om det offentliges nuværende menneskerettighedskrænkende brug af kunstig intelligens.

4/7
▶️ Og så er det ydermere problematisk, at denne taskforce ser ud til negligere Sprøgsmål Zero: nemlig det kritiske spørgsmål om kunstig intelligens overhovedet er den rigtige (bedste) løsning på et givet problem eller udfordring?

3/7
Det kvantitative mål skal enten ses som en netto løsning. Eller også kan det kun opfyldes hvis den reelle hensigt med taskforcen er øget privatisering. Så bliver det de private aktører, der skal leverer årsværkerne og dermed slipper regeringen for regnskabet.

Er det dét de melder ud? Nej.

2/7

▶️ Med målet om nedskæringer af årsværk af disse dimensioner, synes regeringen helt af have glemt, at med nye teknologier følger der ændrede kvalitetskrav, administrationskrav, ekspertisekrav, cybersikkerhedskrav, miljøbelastninger, digitale kompetencer krav osv. Og det betyder arbejdskraft.

🚨Alarmklokkerne blinker hastigt ved nyheden om den digitale taskforce for #kunstigintelligens.

Målet er at spare mellem 10.000 og 99.000 årsværk i den offentlige sektor.

Men hvad er det for et mål? En 🧵

Sounds terribly similar to what brought the Dutch government down. This is excellent research by @lhreports.bsky.social - glad its being picked up

This -- once again, people aren't against *technology writ large*. they're against technology that is at best stupid, at worst evil, made by the same set of billionaire men whose track record of prior tech has decimated whole industries and made people worse off

For alle os, der er afhængig af medicin for overhovedet at være til, så er sundhedsvæsenets stilhed omkring medicin prepping ufattelig larmende.

Thanks @axbom.com - that means the world to me. Let's get more folks behind them and hold our politicians accountable to our rights ✊

O that's so kind of you to say @marielza.bsky.social thank you 🩷

most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true
