My new article on Canada's recent AI strategy consultation. Lightning-fast engagement, dubious data protection measures, black box analysis, & AI-generated summaries from made-in-USA LLMs are not a winning strategy for building public trust

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Everyone involved in the abuse of this child should be identified. Let them try to look their kids and their neighbors in the eye after being outed as literal kid-nappers

“Basically, what we are finding is that people hate AI.” As Firefox pushes AI on its users, Vivaldi does the complete opposite. Even more reason to try it.

It’s incredible and infuriating how little accountability Musk and X/xAI have faced for this.

Data centers add to existing public health burdens. “A recent study by the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative found that those living within 1 mile of an EPA-regulated data center were breathing air pollution at levels above the national average.”

This consultation is a fulfillment of the promise we (the ad hoc civil society working group) made to the Canadian public, in this open letter to the "AI Minister" Evan Solomon, protesting the rushed and biased 30-day "consultation" to form a "national strategy" on AI:

Food is a right, not a weapon: Canada must act for Gaza
There must be immediate action. For Canada, that starts with a full arms embargo, cancelling our free trade deal with Israel, and imposing biting sanctions.

This week the Trump administration took offline the climate and economic justice mapping tool CEJST. We, as part of the Public Environmental Data Project, have recreated it. Here’s our unofficial but functional copy:
