How Google’s Motto ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Disappeared With Its Shaping of … – DataEthics.eu
Guest Contributor Rene Ridgway This open access article published recently in Big Data & Society draws on Brin and Pages original 1998 paper to explain how Google developed its hegemony on search and laid the groundwork for contemporary surveillance capitalism. Deleterious consequences was coined by computer scientist and theorist Phil Agre who in 1998 expressed concern about the harmful effects of AI if programmers did not keep one foot planted in the craft work of design and the other foot planted in the reflexive work of critique. In this article, I revisit Brin and Pages coeval, seminal and only extant text on their search engine and the PageRank algorithm, The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine (1998)
Mind the tech gap: the AI divide in Europe – fDi Intelligence
Only a handful of European cities host a sizable population of highly-coveted artificial intelligence (AI) engineers, leaving most of the continent scrambling to catch up. London, the birthplace of Alan Turing, who is considered one of the founding figures of modern computer science and AI, is home to about 24,600 AI engineers, according to figures from venture capital firm Sequoia Capital. The citys AI cluster features major employers in the AI space of the likes of Google DeepMind and a flourishing community of AI start-ups that can find in the city both the capital and the talent they need to scale-up
Deep Calls to Deep: Eight Years of Soul-Nurturing for Preachers – Virginia Theological Seminary
Deep Calls to Deep, a program to nourish working preachers, began in 2015, funded by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment. Now, as the grant funding comes to an end this fall, it is a good opportunity to look back on what the program has accomplished. The fundamental principle of Deep Calls to Deep is that preaching is soul-work, and that rejuvenating preachers depends on feeding the whole personbody, mind, and spirit

Why generative AI is ‘alchemy,’ not science – VentureBeat
A New York Times article this morning, titled How to Tell if Your AI Is Conscious, says that in a new report, scientists offer a list of measurable qualities based on a brand-new science of consciousness. The article immediately jumped out at me, as it was published just a few days after I had a long chat with Thomas Krendl Gilbert, a machine ethicist who, among other things, has long studied the intersection of science and politics. Gilbert recently launched a new podcast, called The Retort, along with Hugging Face researcher Nathan Lambert, with an inaugural episode that pushes back on the idea of todays AI as a truly scientific endeavor.
