US Federal Agencies Issue Joint Statement on Automated Systems On April 3, 2024, several US federal agencies released a joint statement on the Enforcement of Civil Rights, Fair Competition, Consumer Protection, and Equal Opportunity Laws in Automated Systems. Signatories include leaders from the EEOC, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Labor. The statement underscores the commitment of federal agencies to enforce legal protections applicable to automated systems, defined as software and algorithmic processes, including AI, used to automate workflows and decision-making. Emphasizing the dual objectives of monitoring automated tools' evolution and fostering responsible innovation, agencies reaffirm the relevance of existing laws to automated systems. They stress their role in ensuring compliance with these laws during system development. This follows previous efforts by the EEOC and other agencies to address discrimination and bias in automated systems. The expanded participation in this year's statement reflects the government's heightened focus on regulating automated systems and enforcing relevant laws. The statement emphasizes that AI and automated systems fall under existing laws, dispelling the notion that their "black box" nature exempts them from compliance. It identifies potential sources of unlawful discrimination or bias, including skewed training data, lack of transparency, and inadequate consideration of social context during design and use. Compliance with existing and AI-specific laws is paramount for fostering trust and safe AI innovation, as highlighted in the joint statement. #automatedsystems#AI#AIcompliance
静态网站悖论 个人网站的两种不同实现方式:一种是复杂的内容管理系统(CMS),另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出,尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案(如 WordPress),但实际上,只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。 via HackerNews 2024 10 09 前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费,做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上: normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases. 普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里,与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。 当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同,因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文,不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手,觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。(当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today) #indieblog#newletter
