📢 ⚖️ A federal judge in #newyork has temporarily blocked the detention of Yunseo Chung, a Columbia University student, amid her fight against deportation.

Chung, a 21-year-old permanent US resident, was targeted by immigration authorities due to her involvement in pro-Palestinian campus protests. Her lawyers filed an emergency motion Monday, arguing that the government's actions violated her constitutional rights to free speech. #us #humanrights

Developing Ethical Ratings for AI

[Read on Ethical Revolution]

Ethical Consumer Research Association (ECRA) have announced that they may develop a rating standard for artificial intelligence (AI) use by businesses.

Factors including energy consumption, human rights, accountability mechanisms and workers’ rights would all be up for examination.

Ruairidh Fraser at Ethical Consumer magazine has written a piece about the rapid growth of AI and the groups trying to keep pace in setting the ethical boundaries around the technology.

He says that the following areas of consensus are emerging around the ethics of AI:

  • Safeguarding users from AI-driven surveillance and data misuse via transparent algorithms, public accountability mechanisms, and legally binding regulatory frameworks.
  • The importance of sustainability: in both reducing its energy footprint and in ensuring AI can be harnessed to support genuine emissions reductions.
  • Addressing biases that currently reinforce inequality, via research and regulation that can reflect global perspectives.
  • Somehow placing people over profit in order to not exacerbate human rights violations, accelerate climate breakdown, widen global economic disparities, or ultimately allow AI to generate further injustice rather than benefit for humanity.

Sein Kind für tot erklären, weil es anders nach Glück strebt als "vorgesehen", und damit einen Vernichtungsfeldzug begründen. Irgendwann tötet der #MAGAVirus #Musk und kotzt ihn aus!

Ich wäre stolz auf meine smarte Tochter, die so talentiert, bodenständig, reflektiert und in ihren jungen Jahren bereits so selbstbestimmt ist.

#VivianWilson hat zum Glück den USA den Rücken gekehrt. Sie lebt in Japan. Andere haben eine solche Möglichkeit nicht. #transRights #humanRights

Tweet by Elon Musk declaring his child dead

A rare look inside Canada’s largest immigration holding centre

"The tour of the detention centre provided a starkly different picture of how Canada’s immigration authorities are treating those in their custody, compared to the aggressive approach taken in the United States amid an immigration enforcement crackdown."

“They cared about our health, our food and drinks, our daily routine, providing all our needs. ”

"The Miami Herald reveals that one of the people imprisoned in El Salvador HAD LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the country legally in January & was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had passed a full background check.

Without warning, he was sent💔to El Salvador."
