Description: 
Professeur d'informatique à l'Université de l'Utah, ses intérêts de recherche sont une promenade aléatoire à travers les aspects théoriques et appliqués de la science des données, y compris la géométrie computationnelle, les algorithmes sous-linéaires, le clustering et les méthodes de noyau. Il travaille actuellement sur les ramifications sociales de la prise de décision automatisée. Suresh est un membre fondateur de la conférence FAccT qui traite de l'équité, la responsabilité et la transparence. Il pense ce qui se passe chez Google est très troublant concernant les nombreuses affaires déontologique qui montre une réticence fondamentale à penser à l'éthique.

2023-04-04 22:37:59 @boazbaraktcs Right. So perhaps I'm thinking that your four circles (that might overlap) describe particular modes of inquiry rather than individuals or communities? So today I might be worried about components vulnerable to manipulation by malicious parties. Tomorrow - deployment harms

2023-04-04 22:23:39 @boazbaraktcs Yeah. Bringing stakeholders in makes a lot of sense. I still feel a teeny bit uneasy at the potential implication that model owners don't need to think about deployment concerns - the word "other" throws me off.

2023-04-04 22:22:02 @boazbaraktcs @rharang I can get on board with this frame.

2023-04-04 22:18:32 @boazbaraktcs I get that. And overall I found your characterization useful. I just continue to struggle with the idea that "functioning well" is a relevant question separate from "what does well mean". I think they are intertwined in complicated ways.

2023-04-04 22:12:59 @boazbaraktcs @rharang In an "eigenvector" sense I see what you're trying to say and it is useful. But of course you can't set a 4 d space :)

2023-04-04 22:10:59 @boazbaraktcs No. But then I wouldn't describe a lot of what I do as ethics either. The question for me is what it means when we say a system "works".

2023-04-04 21:37:57 @boazbaraktcs I'd say that i don't distinguish between assurance and ethics. A system can malfunction by being discriminatory. See for eg rights 1 and 2 in the AI bill of rights.

2023-04-01 16:51:54 @sharongoldman This to me suggests that the coverage needs to acknowledge that more explicitly, as well as the power structures around it.

2023-04-01 16:50:14 @sharongoldman What strikes me about the space - and the examples you've provided - is that there are some who are still covering AI like science, or like technology. The problem is that there's a huge political agenda behind a lot of what masquerades as tech discussion.

2023-03-19 20:52:48 One component of transparency in ML oversight is: "what data was the model trained on".

2023-03-11 18:32:22 @CGraziul @emollick @instrumenthull That's fair. It depends on the topic mostly. For example broadly speaking for work at the intersection of tech and society there are a number of venues that accept computational work. In econ there are also bridge venues.

2023-03-11 16:23:05 @emollick @instrumenthull I mean the first post is also stretching :). their claim that they "solve" exponentially hard problems is weird especially since there are existing heuristics that "solve" the same problem for upto 100,000 nodes. TSP in the euclidean plane is one of the easier NP-hard problems.

2023-03-11 16:03:34 @emollick @instrumenthull I think calling it wrong would be charitable. It's incoherent. This is why computer scientists have a hard time taking computational papers in non-CS venues seriously.

2023-03-11 15:57:24 @emollick @instrumenthull "In this study, we show that the time taken by plasmodium to find a reasonably high-quality TSP solution grows linearly as the problem size increases from four to eight." This is absolute gibberish. You couldn't get away with this kind of statement in undergrad algorithms.

2023-02-17 19:23:39 @ndiakopoulos Roughly, the idea of focusing on the tech is what makes it important to define "what tech". The view that the #AIBillofRights takes is that we should focus on the impact. This does a few things: firstly it doesn't get bogged down in which kind of tech.

2022-12-31 05:56:53 @OrinKerr In cost benefit language, it's deciding to introduce public safety elements as part of the equation. After all we always have to choose what things we decide to throw into the equation (as costs or benefits). It's perfectly fine to want to think about signal in that way. 2/

2022-12-31 05:55:15 @OrinKerr This thread is a helpful exposition of what you're concerned about. The original thread, keyed as it was off the oped, was less so. My point is that the discussion of signal through a lens that admits public safety as a component is a "law enforcement related" lens. 1/

2022-12-31 03:14:00 @OrinKerr Presumably here the 'privacy benefit' is stronger than the "cost of losing information about a conspiracy". But then why would Signal be different? What is it about allowing two (or more) individuals to have a private non-recorded conversation that is worse here?

2022-12-31 03:11:21 @OrinKerr There are many issues to unpack here. But let's consider the cost-benefit analysis you're raising in the context of Signal. A communication mechanism that no one else can eavesdrop on, and that isn't recorded, might also be two people having a private conversation. 1/n

2022-12-31 02:00:00 @OrinKerr I was referring to the thread between you and Matthew Green. It's only problematic to law enforcement that signal uses e2ee and doesn't store data. It's a great tool for ... well .... anyone else. So I don't understand (if I follow along) why this point gives the oped value.

2022-12-31 00:14:39 Framing what is Signal's most useful feature - that we can communicate end to end without surveillance - only as a problem for law enforcement shows how limited our imagination about tech is and how we've been captured by a purely law enforcement frame. https://t.co/bd60EIjTW8

2022-12-25 05:39:28 Something appears to have changed in my twitter feed organization - which is set to most recent. Every time I refresh an ad appears at the top, regardless of how frequently I refresh.

2022-12-24 20:17:11 @npparikh @boazbaraktcs @davidbau @lacker @compcomcon @RealAAAI I think it's fair to be concerned about where the NAIRR work is going. And there are public meetings where it's possible to engage with the work of the task force. It's also only one part of the broader discussion which I think the AI roadmap addresses a little better.

2022-12-24 17:38:56 @davidbau @lacker @boazbaraktcs @npparikh @compcomcon @RealAAAI Not only does the tf not care, the tf has people on it with experience building cloud platforms so none of this will be ruled out. The key focus for the tf is (as it should be) democratizing access. So it's not just about who can pay and who can't.

2022-12-24 06:26:40 @davidbau @lacker @boazbaraktcs @npparikh It's also worth reading the AI roadmap that the @compcomcon put together in collaboration with @RealAAAI. It was released in 2019 and has many recommendations. The very first one is for open AI infrastructure. https://t.co/DWQ0wkkz8w

2022-12-24 01:18:30 @boazbaraktcs @npparikh @davidbau I think as @davidbau can elaborate on, the NAIRR doesn't address all the problems arising from the lack of access to resources for AI work. But it's one part of the story. And this is not without precedent: see HPC clusters, shared telescope access, and so on.

2022-10-27 17:37:09 This is exactly the point that the #AIBillofRights makes: that we should think about the impact of technology rather than any particular tech or class of technology. That's where the harm emerges and that's where interventions should be focused.

2022-10-27 17:37:08 Secondly, the refusal to blindly label a piece of tech as good or bad, but rather to look at the IMPACT: https://t.co/x61ua89GYn

2022-10-27 17:37:07 This is why the #AIBillofRights demands that technologies should be safe and effective, and there should be evidence of this. No snake oil, people! And again, for more on this, read the paper by @rajiinio, @ziebrah, @Aaron_Horowitz, and @aselbst: https://t.co/I9jquljnqj

2022-10-27 17:37:06 There are many things to be excited about in this article about the UK ICO and 'emotional analysis tech' (ht @baxterkb).

2022-10-16 21:08:59 @tdietterich I wish I did, but I don't. It's surprisingly hard to get information on these programs.

2022-10-16 19:49:03 And risky because the repeated collection of biometrics increases the risk of a hack or leakage. And no, saying "GDPR" three times and turning in a circle doesn't solve all problems. #sorrynotsorry

2022-10-16 19:49:02 At least as described, it sounds like biometric data will be collected at each crossing instance. If the goal is to establish a secure ID system, this seems grossly unnecessary and very risky.

2022-10-16 19:49:01 On the political side, the inclusion of biometrics is being touted as a way in which the EU is more willing to regulate (read: "much better") than the US. So this issue is both salient and has a political heft to it.

2022-10-16 19:49:00 The EU contortions around biometrics is an illustration of the complexity of the issue as well as the need to pay close attention to how the policies are being implemented. #AIBillOfRights. A short thread.

2022-10-16 18:27:04 The point the authors make in the beginning -- that they couldn't agree on how to give a talk, but could much more easily agree on how NOT to give one -- is very telling and important.Be creative!

2022-10-05 18:04:41 Great thread. I have some minor quibbles about what is and isn't being done but overall this is solid https://t.co/MAJ6m71M2y

2022-10-05 13:18:49 And it needs independent testing and reporting. It's hard to get excited about transparency requirements. But without it, there's no incentive to actually do a good job on testing and evaluation, and without independent testing there's no incentive to do it right. 14/n

2022-10-05 13:18:48 All of this needs supervision -- aka governance. there have to be processes and decision-making to evaluate the results of testing. I hear all the groans: "you're trapping innovation and slowing it down". If people are being affected, then it's warranted. Speed... kills. 12/n

2022-10-05 13:18:47 AI systems in particular feed on data. But is the data the right data? is it just compounding mistakes from other systems that feed into this one? Have you made sure that you're using relevant data that has been established as pertinent to the task at hand? 10/n

2022-10-05 13:18:46 Systems should work and continue to work once deployed

2022-10-05 13:18:45 So what should we do about it? Because there are many ways in which automated systems can fail to work, or work well, there are many different checks that are needed to ensure that they are safe when deployed. 6/n

2022-09-18 16:44:53 And yes, let us not forget that this tech only exists because of a really sketchy process of data collection by Clearview. Maybe there's a way to learn from this, but I don't want to give Clearview any credit here. 9/n

2022-09-18 16:44:52 It's not a binary yes or no, and it's not inconsistent to say yes to one or no to another, and it's even more important to say that "well it depends on the deployment, the guardrails, the transparency, the reporting processes, and so on" 7/n

2022-09-18 16:44:51 And that has to be part of the deliberation for each deployment. For example, the issue here, even temporarily setting aside the way in which Clearview built its model, is not "FR good" vs "FR bad". It's "what's the impact of using FR by law enforcement" and ... 5/n

2022-09-18 16:44:50 And yet it's tempting to ask: what about these "good" use cases after all. Shouldn't we consider them to balance against the bad cases like a classic cost benefit analysis? This is where I feel the dominant paradigm of AI risk assessment is incomplete. 3/n

2022-09-18 16:44:49 This is a really tricky scenario that plays out in this story by @kashhill. And one where Clearview appears not as a villain but as a facilitator of justice. What's tricky is the question it raises: does the potential benefit as described here outweigh the harms? 1/n https://t.co/BUsYyVtGki

2022-09-04 02:59:02 @deliprao @dsivakumar @FTC That's a topic for a much longer thread than I have energy for right now. Maybe in the next few weeks.

2022-09-04 02:44:02 @deliprao @dsivakumar @FTC Agreed. But let's not do nothing for fear of doing too much. That doesn't make sense either. And regulation isn't the only lever to be deployed.

2022-09-04 02:23:18 @dsivakumar @deliprao You’re talking to the wrong academic :). I spent a good year actually thinking about this :)

2022-09-03 22:09:44 @dsivakumar @deliprao Also see the work by @USEEOC on scrutiny of automation in the context of the ADA, and the FDA development of a policy around AI for medical devices. There might not yet be a single overarching US policy (again stay tuned) but there is action in different sectors.

2022-09-03 22:05:14 @dsivakumar @deliprao Again the medical analogy is instructive. If an antonymous group of people released a drug that they claimed help cure (say) male pattern baldness, there would be plenty of action from the FDA. It's not like we don't have mechanisms of action to model from.

2022-09-03 22:03:27 @dsivakumar @deliprao On the "concrete set of proposals" stay tuned :). On general approaches see what @FTC has been doing. Further, the fact that this doesn't exist yet doesn't mean it's not something we shouldn't move towards. It took ages for the FDA to get established.

2022-08-15 18:38:05 It's not easy, and it's slow, and that's the nature of things when you're moving a 800-ton juggernaut. But slow is also deliberative and careful, and given the myriad and complex ways in which tech impacts the world, some prudence is a good thing. 4/6

2022-10-27 17:42:18 RT @cole_sci: Echoes of the NASEM and PCAST findings on forensic science, or basically much of the industry around worker personality types.

2022-10-27 17:37:10 And finally, the willingness to consider emotional analysis tech as 'biometric'. It is! And it seems obvious that it is, but there are many vested interests with a stake of narrowing discussion of biometrics to only specific uses in identification. https://t.co/O2CPEU4Li5

2022-10-27 17:37:09 This is exactly the point that the #AIBillofRights makes: that we should think about the impact of technology rather than any particular tech or class of technology. That's where the harm emerges and that's where interventions should be focused.

2022-10-27 17:37:08 Secondly, the refusal to blindly label a piece of tech as good or bad, but rather to look at the IMPACT: https://t.co/x61ua89GYn

2022-10-27 17:37:07 This is why the #AIBillofRights demands that technologies should be safe and effective, and there should be evidence of this. No snake oil, people! And again, for more on this, read the paper by @rajiinio, @ziebrah, @Aaron_Horowitz, and @aselbst: https://t.co/I9jquljnqj

2022-10-27 17:37:06 There are many things to be excited about in this article about the UK ICO and 'emotional analysis tech' (ht @baxterkb). Firstly, it's so important that the commissioner is calling out emotional analysis tech as not backed by science. This cannot be overstated. https://t.co/smz4eTuyfO

2022-10-27 16:37:23 @Aaron_Horowitz Are you advocating for the use of .... metrics???? But more generally it's a kind of social partial ranking (which is where advisors are helpful for Ph.D students, but which doesn't help people outside the academy)

2022-12-07 16:26:16 @_KarenHao It works there for much the same reasons as it works in the drug setting. It's exploratory, rather than determinative, and can be cross checked against physical processes that "won't lie". This also drives some of the motivation for explanations in ML.

And we aren't even IN silicon valley!!! 2021-05-16 14:34:18 @arnabdotorg But that's the point. One reason for the complaints people have about the TP is that it's used in a frame that doesn't make sense. The same for "sometimes there's no human available". When is that and why? 2021-05-16 14:25:25 @arnabdotorg And the answer there is often "yes, of you give them the authority and it's spelt out in great detail" 2021-05-16 04:30:22 @aingsword It's the framing. AI MAKING life and death decisions 2021-05-15 23:33:23 @dscoughlin @thegautamkamath In many universities (including mine) you can get a 'stapled paper' thesis merely by putting together the papers you write. So community acceptance is recognized. 2021-05-15 22:56:37 @stevemeier853 Yes and that's an entire field of study in cs and beyond right now. So its funny that there's a clubhouse event that happily reduces this to a triviality. 2021-05-15 22:45:43 @stevemeier853 It is nuanced. But that's why the question as posed is silly. In medical applications it's not an AI system that "makes the life or death decision". 2021-05-15 22:20:54 @rharang @m_c_elish has written about exactly this. https://t.co/m1EKHlUBIC 2021-05-15 22:18:29 @thegautamkamath In some universities in Asia the classifier for a PhD was appropriately enough the dot product of a weight vector of venues with your vector of publication counts. 2021-05-15 22:08:46 I mean I'm not a fancy shmancy SV insider so not that smart, but isn't the answer just ....

The question I have is - what should one do? I think the concern that ethics modules are allowing universities to lay off crit/qual folks seems to suggest we shouldn't do these modules, which I don't think is a good idea either. 2021-05-09 21:11:23 @allergyPhD @cfiesler @Greene_DM The logical step is to build broader curricula and programs. But that takes time. And often the course is the first place to start. 2021-05-09 21:10:26 @allergyPhD @cfiesler @Greene_DM There's a strong incentive for cs people to do something because we are concerned about our students going out and building tone deaf systems. There isn't the same incentive on the other side of this because of where the courses are housed etc. 2021-05-09 21:09:10 @allergyPhD @cfiesler @Greene_DM Speaking as one of "those cs people", I think I'd love to get more help from the qual folks who think about this and did so with my class.

Artificial generation of synthetic faces seems quite different to generation of fake images of real people which is itself different to deceptive generation. 2021-03-26 20:18:24 @Combsthepoet @rajiinio You are correct. The only mod would be that the term deep fake doesn't necessarily require deceptive intent. People use it to refer to any artificially created face or video. 2021-03-26 20:11:43 @KathiFisler My problem with 80s rock is that I'm so well versed in it that I get distracted and go into air guitar mode which is the end of my writing. 2021-03-25 21:46:27 RT @picturewing: #AcademicTwitter, I am SUPER BAD at keeping up with this site called Research Gate.

But to get to this point is something. And I think one of the shining points of @_KarenHao's article is how she cleanly exposes the rhetorical games that are being played without overly simplifying. 10/n=10 2021-03-12 17:31:01 The next big shift in comms was around the time of the laughably terrible Google ethics board, and then the FB oversight board. "AI Bias is a problem. It's a hard problem. We need external oversight that we will hire ourselves because we can be trusted" 6/n 2021-03-12 17:31:00 The ProPublica article on COMPAS changed the public discussion in ways it's hard to explain. But at the very least, it shifted the discourse to "AI Bias? Yeah society sucks, but it's not our problem, we're just tech people". Not a big shift, but wait....4/n. 2021-03-12 17:22:21 "back in the day", when I first was talking to journalists about AI bias, I remember people saying, "well yeah, but this is all hypothetical. give me a real example where something happened and we'll talk".

Who dat?" 3/n 2021-03-12 17:22:20 I was talking to a Ph.D student recently and they asked me (or at least I understood them to be asking) whether, in the light of the Google fiascos and what we're seeing right now with big tech and AI ethics in general whether there's any point in doing the work that I do. 1/n 2021-03-12 16:36:35 RT @_KarenHao: Facebook communications sent me a long list of so-called "factual errors" after the piece. @glichfield & 2021-03-12 15:58:35 This is a powerful and thoughtful essay. https://t.co/yO4xOykN1e 2021-03-12 04:20:15 RT @glichfield: In other words, Facebook works by feeding people's addiction to provocative content—but really, it's Facebook itself that i… 2021-03-12 04:20:13 RT @glichfield: And of course, it's not just Facebook.

The idea of releasing reviews is being debated within a fixed frame of how the review process currently works. Aaron and Sorelle are pointing out deep problems with the frame itself. 2021-02-28 17:10:10 @aaronclauset @JAldrichPL I really do feel that Aaron's point about load is the key here. There's not much we can do to fix a process at the edges when there's such a huge overload. I don't think people write terrible reviews deliberately for the most part. But we've been acculturated to expect little. 2021-02-28 16:30:22 @EdwardRaffML @JAldrichPL Sure. And that's definitely how the ACM is viewing it.
