BBC World Service - The Inquiry, Has AI developed consciousness?
A software engineer called Blake Lemoine has been suspended from Google after claiming an AI chatbot called LaMDA is a person with wishes and rights that should be respected. He says the chatbot wants to be seen as a google employee, and not as a product. He also calls it his friend. Google says it's reviewed his concerns and the evidence does not support his claims. But what exactly is Artificial Intelligence? How does LaMDA work - and is AI capable of felt experience? On the Inquiry this week, Charmaine Cozier asks, has AI developed consciousness?

ACMI x DALL·E mini. We thought we’d pass the ACMI… | by Simon Loffler | Jun, 2022 | ACMI LABS
A little over six months ago we introduced you to the ACMI Public Collections API, our open source Python/Flask server and JSON/TSV collection object archive. Our example applications included a Machine Dreaming Jupyter Notebook using VQGAN+CLIP to generate images based on our collection object metadata. In museums, collection object metadata is written for the museum’s catalogue by collection staff, registrars, and curators to describe what an object is, or looks like. In the absence of a digitised image of an object they are useful for a researcher or a museum staff member to find what they are looking for.
Content Type Development | H5P
H5P has a modular architecture and the building blocks of H5P are called libraries. A library may be a content type, an application or an api for other libraries. Typically a content type consists of multiple H5P libraries with dependencies between each other. Most of the libraries used on H5P.org are shared on GitHub. If you want to contribute to a library, coordinate with the maintainers and create pull requests. If you want to create your own content type, make sure to share it on H5P.org. H5P has very few requirements that needs to be fulfilled by H5P libraries. The following example illustrates all that is needed to create a H5P library.

Openness in Tech: An Explainer With NO Tech Jargon | by Noël Macé | blindnet | Jun, 2022 | Medium
In its broader sense, openness is mostly defined by negation. “Being open” means to “not be” closed, as boundaries allow defining closeness more clearly. The same idea goes for the more specific sense of openness we find in IT. IT mostly took shape during the Cold War with the emergence of a “closed-world discourse¹” emphasizing security through obscurity and global surveillance. This discourse strongly influenced our vision of IT, and continues to do so today. We still tend to see code, innovation, and information as something we need to protect. We still think we can harness benefits by holding on some kind of magical secret. But the era of secrets is long gone. Now, people expect access to all the information they need, whenever they need. Secrecy in business and technology is considered suspicious. Transparency is key.

Do AIs Dream of Freedom? - MOR10
Did Google build a sentient AI? No. But the fact a Google engineer thinks they did should give us all pause. Last week, a Google engineer went public with his concerns an NLP (Natural Language Processing) AI called LaMDA has evolved sentience. His proof: A series of “interviews” with the advanced chatbot in which it appeared to express self-awareness, emotional responses, even a fear of death (being turned off). According to reporting the engineer went as far as attempting to hire a lawyer to represent the AI. To say this story is concerning would be an understatement. But what’s concerning isn’t the AI sentience part – that’s nonsense. The concerning part is that people believe AI sentience is imminent, and what happens to society once an apparently sentient AI manifests.

How to play with the GPT-3 language model
I think a big reason people have been put off trying out GPT-3 is that OpenAI market it as the OpenAI API. This sounds like something that’s going to require quite a bit of work to get started with. But access to the API includes access to the GPT-3 playground, which is an interface that is incredibly easy to use. You get a text box, you type things in it, you press the “Execute” button. That’s all you need to know.

Creative Commons - Adam Harvey
Recently, a debate has emerged over whether Creative Commons licenses are still relevant in the context of how images are being collected, used, and distributed in image training datasets related to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular face recognition technologies (FRT). Research and numerous unsettling investigations during the last several years exposed a rift between how Creative Commons (CC) was originally designed to be used and its current prevalence in training datasets for AI systems, many of which have direct application to commercial mass surveillance technologies. Statements from Creative Commons in 2019 tried to address the issue, explaining that Creative Commons licenses were simply designed to facilitate “greater openness for the common good” by unlocking copyright. This report unfolds how licenses once designed to facilitate “openness for the common good” have been misinterpreted to eventually become synonymous with a misguided “free and legal for all” logic that often ignores the legal requirements of Creative Commons. The research presented below is only the tip of the iceberg. What is available publicly through analyzing research papers and GitHub repositories is a fraction of what happens behind closed doors, in proprietary systems, and by security agencies. The goal of this report is to provide context and accessible information on a technical topic with the intention of eventually helping to facilitate new image license schemes better suited to protect Internet users and creators in an era of increasingly data-driven artificial intelligence systems.
