*Joseph Stiglitz: education effort on post-war scale needed for AI** */Nobel laureate warns of greater inequality and ‘new era of fascism’ if AI impact on work not ‘managed’// / September 14, 2018 By John Morgan Major public investment in higher and other levels of education akin to the US’ investment after the Second World War is essential to help “manage” the rise of AI, which could otherwise bring a “new era of fascism”, according to economist and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz. The Columbia University professor delivered a lecture as part of the Royal Society’s ‘You and AI’ series, in which he said a key issue was AI’s potential to bring a further rise in inequality by making some jobs obsolete.

Del gennaio scorso, ma l'ho letto solo adesso. jc *Is the Answer to Phone Addiction a Worse Phone?** * By Nellie Bowles Jan. 12, 2018 In an effort to break my smartphone addiction, I’ve joined a small group of people turning their phone screens to grayscale — cutting out the colors and going with a range of shades from white to black. First popularized by the tech ethicist Tristan Harris, the goal of sticking to shades of gray is to make the glittering screen a little less stimulating. I’ve been gray for a couple days, and it’s remarkable how well it has eased my twitchy phone checking, suggesting that one way to break phone attachment may be to, essentially, make my phone a little worse. We’re simple animals, excited by bright colors, it turns out. [...] Continua qui: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/12/technology/grayscale-phone.html
