Con el actual poder de computo y la marcada tendencia a disminuir el costo (y tiempo) del secuenciamiento es interesante indagar en los aspectos éticos de la genomica. Estos aspectos tienen que ver con el almacenamiento de la data, la transferencia, propiedad, descubrimientos y consentimiento (entre varios más). Los siguientes son una serie de publicaciones …
Banco Estado y el uso de los datos personales en el Código QR para pago en RED
Hoy Banco Estado habilitó en su aplicación la funcionalidad de pago mediante código QR de los servicios RED (o ex transantiago), excelente funcionalidad para los usuarios y que aportará a disminuir el flujo de las mezzanine y los totem de recarga Bip. Pero al revisar rápidamente el “Mandato del servicio” llama fuertemente la atención el …
Algorithmic Equity Toolkit – ACLU Washington
What is the AEKit? The Algorithmic Equity Toolkit (AEKit for short) is a collection of four components designed to identify surveillance and decisio-making technologies used by goverments work; and pose questions about their impacts, effectiveness and oversight
More Complex Complexity:Exploring the Nature of Computational Irreducibility across Physical, Biological, and Human Social Systems
The predictability of many complex systems is limited by computational irreducibility, but we argue that the nature of computational irreducibility varies across physical, biological and human social systems. We suggest that the computational irreducibility of biological and social systems is distinguished from physical systems by functional contingency, biological evolution, and individual variation. In physical systems, …
Predicting the Brain Activation Pattern Associated With the Propositional Content of a Sentence: Modeling Neural Representations of Events and States
Abstract: Even though much has recently been learned about the neural representation of individualconcepts and categories, neuroimaging research is only beginning to reveal how more complexthoughts, such as event and state descriptions, are neurally represented. We present a predictive com-putational theory of the neural representations of individual events and states as they are described in240 …
We invited an AI to debate its own ethics in the Oxford Union – what it said was startling
Not a day passes without a fascinating snippet on the ethical challenges created by “black box” artificial intelligence systems. These use machine learning to figure out patterns within data and make decisions – often without a human giving them any moral basis for how to do it. Classics of the genre are the credit cards …
