AI, Ethics and AI Safety

February 3, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

I read with interest the white paper from LexisNexis Privacy and AI: Navigating Australia's Shifting Regulatory Landscape. And, apart from being a fairly typical marketing ploy, there is simply no discussion of ethics nor the critical need for understanding Technique (Ellul, Postman).

Spot the Spin and the Myths of AI

October 28, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Robots and AI do not ‘learn’. There is no individual and independent movement in a computer that senses its own ‘body’. Indeed, robots and AI have no body, no nerve endings, no consciousness or feelings necessary to ‘know’ and ‘understand’ the emotions of another. Yet, this is what is projected by … [Read more...] about Spot the Spin and the Myths of AI

AI and Safety, Brutalism on Steroids

June 2, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

There has been so much hype about AI recently and such little discernment about what is hidden in the language and discourse of so much ‘noise’ about the issue.
