As a society, we must ensure that the #AI systems we are building are #inclusive and #equitable. This will only happen through increased transparency and #diversity in the field. Using already "dirty data" is not the way
Using biased data to train AI has serious consequences, particularly when data is controlled by large corporations with little #transparency in their training methods
For fair & #equitable AI we need Web3 democratized & agendaless data for AI training

First point to note, in the Terms of Reference (p5), is that this is about "access to #NHSdata by #researchers, #commissioners, and #innovators" - i.e. #Planning and #CommercialReUse - so it is directly relevant to the operation of millions of people's #NationalDataOptOuts...

We (me and non-tweeter 🇧🇷 PhD lawyer Konstantin Gerber) reviewed 4 decades of biomedical research about the sacred and ancient vine of the Amazon, documenting how biomedicine systematically commits a specific kind of injustice: against indigenous people as givers of knowledge. 2/
The powerful concept of epistemic injustice was introduced 15 years ago by Miranda Fricker (University of Oxford) and greatly helped us frame and analyse some past and current trends in ayahuasca research, which is also important to psychedelic science in general. 3/

‘The Trojan Horse Scandal and the Problem of Equalities in Britain Today’.

It also provided an opportunity to discuss and generate a dialogue about the significance of the 'Trojan Horse’ scandal and the duty placed on schools after the scandal to promote Fundamental British Values (FBV) in the promotion of #democracy.
Speakers analysed how both are reproducing narratives of racial discrimination & inequalities in a context that is informed by minoritising communities, #problematising specific religious #values, & essentialising the signification of social, religious, & cultural identities.

We're clearly going to be hearing a lot about #LegitimateInterests, as well as #commercial and #public ones. The real question being, how do this Government's interests actually align with YOURS?

140+ pages on a Friday is a lot to digest, but @lilianedwards' "penumbra of often futile determinedly populist ideas largely not evidence-based" seems entirely consistent with @DCMS's Drunkard's Walk through #data and #ID this past year...
It is very important in this period of humanity to take a serious look at what is happening in the world friends.

#Menticide is here & with it, a new attempt to establish a "#TechnoTotalitarian" rule over the lives of American citizens.
The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.
The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.
That may sound absurd, but what is very concerning is that many talking heads in the media & even public figures are now making very carefully worded emotional appeals to logic to further induce a totalitarian #masspsychosis.
I am ready to talk about the #silencing of over 25,000 psychologists in Australia with regards to the safeguarding of children. We are threatened, harassed, coerced to provide only one #therapy to children or else! They tried to force me into this I said NO. Any journalists???
I am ready to talk to journalists, lawyers, bloggers and am now writing a book on this topic/issue. I am ashamed of my colleagues and the board who wilfully ignore the immature prefrontal cortex, the autistic brain, and their own ethics and guidelines #rogd #gender #transgender
I have not been able to speak openly about this until now as I have been continually #silenced, harassed, threatened, coerced by other #psychologists #therapists, my board, governing agencies and other professionals. It’s time to reveal what is happening to clinicians worldwide
I am trained in #developmental #psychology and #neuroscince. I have been screaming the #teenagebrain is #underreconstruction from the rooftops! Am totally ashamed of my peers who wilfully ignore this. #neuroplasticity #frontallobes #psychologists #gender #rogd #trans #detrans
The teenage brain is under reconstruction. The prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until minimum aged 25. A bit longer for males. The prefrontal cortex is largely responsible for: decision making, planning, organisation, focusing, impulsivity, aka executive functions
As @life_is_art___ has pointed out, the #ARHQ & #KaiserHealth (plus others!) are studying patients without clear consent. The #CommonRule was changed in the CURES Act. It allows for something called #AlternativeConsent.
It's easier for researchers! 🤔

Just a few screenshots from the description of #AlternativeConsent:
You can obtain consent from patients WITHOUT THEIR DIRECT KNOWLEDGE if the study is deemed
*minimal risk* to the patient.
Who determines such a thing?
No doubt, #ForcibleTapers were done w/#AlternativeConsent.

You'll find that in re: #AlternativeConsent, there's great discussion about preventing patient bias in trials.
They are allowed to dodge consent to avoid that *bias*. This cannot be #ethical. @process_x was right when she warned us about the changes made to the #CommonRule.

..but @Twitter's image processing #algorithms are #racist too:
It's getting to the point where we need an industry reboot; if #SiliconValley genuinely wants to build '#EthicslAI', it must delete 'em all and start again. Respecting #HumanRights this time.

So @cabinetofficeuk (@GDSTeam) has updated the #DataEthicsFramework for government and the public sector today - the first version of which was published by @MattHancock in 2018, when he was at @DCMS:

Two obvious questions:

...ratings for all of the government & public sector data projects / programmes that have been started since 2018?
A framework that neither demands nor provides publicly visible outputs surely fails on two of its own 'overarching principles'; #transparency and #accountability...

2) Other than "consult with your team leader", what happens when a project 'fails' the framework - say a national programme that doesn't do a #DPIA, or a body that employs a #discriminatory #algorithm?
An 'ethics' framework without meaningful #consequences ain't #ethical at all.

That this tweet exists suggests the problem is not just a general "looking the other way".
The challenge must therefore be FAR more specific, e.g. why are *US medical professional bodies* not investigating fully, and striking off anyone performing such #illegal operations?

Once made aware by citizens of conscience - don't ASSUME knowledge: lodge formal #complaints, follow up & keep copies of all correspondence - if US institutions want to maintain #ethical credibility they will act.
If not, they'll be #complicit - with no "We didn't know" excuses.
If not, they'll be #complicit - with no "We didn't know" excuses.
The public duty lies with people who care - it doesn't need to be many, but they must take *appropriate* action. That's not just protest, nor writing articles, nor railing about them on Twitter - but finding out which body or bodies are empowered to act.
And making sure they do.

I wonder how many of the vendors following these 'principles' *wouldn't* sell their #biometric wares to @metpoliceuk? (And not just because they failed to win a contract...)
The thing is, if your 'principles' don't meaningfully alter / inhibit behaviour, then they aren't really #principles at all.
