Tristan #Harris
Er arbeitete als Computerwissenschaftler für Google an der Zukunft mit – bis er aus der Tech-Welt ausstieg. Ein Interview über das Spiel mit unserer Aufmerksamkeit und die Gefahr, die von Elon #Musk ausgeht.

Harris arbeitete als #Computerwissenschaftler für #Google. Er verfasste 2013 die Präsentation - Titel „A Call to Minimize Distraction & Respect Users’ Attention“ (Aufruf zur Minimierung von Ablenkungen u Achtung der Aufmerksamkeit der Nutzer). 2015 verließ er Google u gründete die gemeinnützige Organisation Time Well Spent, heute Center for Humane Technology. Weltbekannt wurde er 2017, als er bei der TED Conference in Vancouver einen Vortrag hielt, der erklärte, mit welchem Aufwand soziale Netzwerke Suchtwirkungen erzeugen. Eine Videoaufzeichnung ging um die Welt u gilt als einer der ersten Anstöße des Techlash, des weltweiten Unmuts u Widerstandes gegen digitale Technologien. 2020 erschien der Dokumentarfilm „The Social Dilemma“

#TristanHarris, former #Ethics at #Google, and co-founder of The Center for #HumaneTechnology once told me - after the Center had just come out of a full year of strategization - that their primary concern was no longer #TimeWellSpent i.e. healthy #smartphone habits, but instead they were very afraid for "the complete unravelling of the fabric of #society and wars".

Which hit home, hearing it from him, who with other board members of humanetech.com have the rolodex to be in-the-know.

"Suicides. Self harm. Depression and anxiety. The toll of a social media-addicted, phone-based childhood has never been more stark. It can be easy for teens, parents and schools to feel like they’re trapped by it all. But in this conversation with #tristanharris author and social psychologist #JonathanHaidt makes the case that the conditions that led to today’s teenage mental health crisis can be turned around."

Should Western Democracies ban the general public from learning about, using, or building their own AI technologies? | POLITICO

Whoops, does that sound iliberal or contentious? That’s me paraphrasing; the original quote goes like this:

“The Harris-Zuckerberg showdown captures another key question for policymakers: Should AI be limited to a handful of trusted companies or opened up to all comers to exploit?”

…that said, I think I captured the nuance better in the title of this post.

The article from Politico is attached and well worth reading, especially for the story about Tristan Harris.

Wer ist Tristan Harris ?
Ehemaliger Google-Entwickler warnt: „Wir sind auf dem direkten Weg ins digitale Mittelalter“

tristanharris.com/

Tristan Harris gilt als „Gewissen des Silicon Valley“. Der frühere Google-Entwickler warnt vor den psychischen Folgen der Social-Media-Nutzung.

Tristan has explored the influences that hijack human attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs, from his childhood as a magician to his coursework in Stanford’s Persuasive Technology Lab to his leadership as a Design Ethicist at Google. Today, he studies how major technology platforms wield dangerous power over our ability to make sense of the world and leads the call for systemic change.

In 2020, Tristan was featured in the two-time Emmy-winning Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma. The film unveiled how social media is dangerously reprogramming our brains and human civilization. It reached over 100 million people in 190 countries across 30 languages.

"Bei der #ki geht es den Firmen darum, die Menschheit schneller als die Konkurrenz auf ihre KI-Plattform zu bringen und an diese zu fesseln. Das bedeutet, dass sie keine Sicherheitstests und keine Risikoanalyse machen, denn wer zu lange wartet, verliert Marktanteile. Keiner nimmt sich die Zeit zu fragen, ob es wirklich eine gute Idee ist, diese KI-Modelle 13-Jährigen via Snapchat vorzusetzen. Es ist ein Wettkampf der Leichtsinnigkeit." (#tristanharris)

In this one hour talk #TristanHarris and #AzaRaskin of the #centerforhumanetechnology discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world.

Your Undivided AttentionThe AI Dilemma | Your Undivided AttentionAt Center for Humane Technology, we want to close the gap between what the world hears publicly about AI from splashy CEO presentations and what the people who are closest to the risks and harms inside AI labs are telling us. We translated their concerns into a cohesive story and presented the resulting slides to heads of institutions and major media organizations in New York, Washington DC, and San Francisco. The talk you're about to hear is the culmination of that work, which is ongoing.

"With few exceptions, tech company leaders claim their platforms are simply a neutral mirror of society and hold users responsible for generating polarizing content. Despite what the companies say, the digital tools they’ve created are not neutral mirrors. Their affordances and algorithms incentivize polarization by amplifying divisive content – making their platforms more like fun house mirrors where you don’t know if what you’re seeing is real or an illusion."
