Wow. @emilymbender, University of Washington computational linguist, deconstructs algorithmic tools, aka automation.

β€œ#AI” is a marketing term dating to the 1950s, when it was employed to secure research dollars.

What is being automated?
By whom and why?
Who benefits?
Who is being harmed?
How well does it work?
Who is accountable?
What laws/regulations apply to what is being automated?

Well worth the ~5 minute investment

What a great video. That’s the best debunking of AI that I have seen. Thank you for sharing.

OMG, this is the best six-minute summary of AI I have come across so far. This video is going into my reference list.

This is fantastic, thank you. I'm currently writing a paper for uni considering the UK AI Safety Summit in respect to several theories about policy and intend to discuss the use of patterns of discourse and creation of ``storylines''.
