Asking “should we de-bias” or “how do we de-bias” presumes that the problem is bias: that AI is needed in a domain, but simply needs some technical tweaks.

Digitalization, moreover, aggravated the positions of users: on the one hand, algorithmic “black box” made users powerless in terms of technical knowledge; on the other hand, every new (kind of) user became a sort of quality assurance acting secretly both for developers and users themselves.

I already talked a few weeks ago about a #startup that wanted to predict #autism through #voice (all based on very shaky scientific publications)

Well, yesterday they went a step further in European #DataColonialism and signed an agreement with the autism society of #Peru.

These agreements are disgusting. Not only is it about getting data in a simpler way than in Europe, but it is also done with a fictitious scientific background.

More and more are aware that data are manipulated, fuelled by subliminal behavioural interventions and filtered through algorithms.

When working with models, the emphasis is usually on the model-as-object, like an oracle to ask questions. It might be better to focus on model-as-process.

Our new special report presents the results of a bioethical investigation into chimeric research, which involves the insertion of human cells into nonhuman animals. Rapid scientific developments in this field could lead to new therapies for humans. They also reveal the limitations of existing ethics guidance for human-nonhuman chimeric research. With researchers from Case Western. Funded by NIH. #ethics #chimeric #research #bioethics #stemcells #animalresearch #chimeras
