Having read (and mostly enjoyed) books by Max Tegmark, Stuart Russell, Ray Kurzweil, Brian Christian, Ajay Agrawal and Nick Bostrom in recent months, its been Melanie Mitchell (AI: a guide for thinking humans), D'Iganzio & Klein (Data Feminism) and Erica Thompson (Escape from Model Land) that I think have provided some of the most balanced and insightful perspectives on AI and data science.

[en] AI #scientist Prof. Russel, #Berkeley: "We don't understand how AI works"

"We know in China, Russia, North Korea large teams of people who pump out #disinformation and we've just given them a power tool."

"The only way we have control is basically to say: "bad dog" ... not a very reassuring method of control for systems that can affect the lives of millions of people."

Whatever you may think of #ElonMusk, I wouldn't call #StuartRussell alarmist. This call for a 6 months moratorium on #LLM #AI development deserves attention. https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/

Have recently read 'Power & Prediction' by Agrawal, Gans & Goldfarb, and re-read 'Life 3.0' by Max Tegmark and 'Human Compatible' by Stuart Russell.

Anyone have other recommendations in these areas?
