LLMs are starving for knowledge graphs. Raphael Troncy was pointing out that many LLM company crawlers are constantly visiting their KGs. Some crawlers even perform explicit SPARQL queries on the KGs.

@emilymbender & @alex join Intelligent Machines 819 to call out Big Tech's AI promises in their new book The AI Con.
They dive into:
• The danger of "stochastic parrots”
• Tech's exploitation of data
• What the future should look like

In an interview (in German/dubbed) for ARD’s Weltspiegel (23.03.2025), Prof. Aimee van Wynsberghe highlights how AI systems, while transformative, consume vast amounts of energy and resources like water. This raises vital questions about sustainability, ethics, and environmental impact. It’s crucial to address these issues in research and public debates.

@Researchbuzz I am liking how #BlueSky is handling its AI approach. Unlike the old bird site, allowing users to provide consent builds trust in their #socialmedia platform. #AI #ML #Tech #socialmedia #responsibleAI

Sophia Falk reveals how AI pressures six of nine critical Earth systems, including freshwater overuse in chip production, habitat destruction from mining, and toxic pollution from hazardous chemicals. Learn why AI’s footprint is more than energy consumption: https://youtu.be/1oPS_HRTUXg

I might as well do another #introduction specifically for the #academic side of this here fediverse:

Coming from #theoreticalCS (with applications in #NLP) to doing #digitalhumanities (computational #musicology), I've now landed in #ResponsibleAI. Specifically, I'm interested in exploring #AntiCapitalistAI, both sharpening existing critiques of current AI practise by confronting capital and exploring inherent politics of technologies, and finding better ones for a socialist world.

This week I quit my #PublicSector role

It's been a very long time coming

It was the gibberish and #hype around #AI that finally did for me

On top of the myopic pursuit of #growth and worrying about #CompetitiveAdvantage (in a world on the edge of collapse)

And the lack of recognition, ever, that their entire #GeoAI programme came out of my work - the #research that I initiated and the team that I trained

And that that work, and the amazing, but tiny, teams now working on it, remain under-resourced and locked into a predatory platform provider

And the financial disadvantage of being in a role that is intended to work to longer than annual horizons in an organisation that cannot retain even a Teams message for longer than 6 months

I do see recent potential that all that could change but I no longer have the stamina to see those changes through

My last act, with two of my gorgeous colleagues, was to draft a #ResponsibleAI charter - it needs a lot of work but there was a glimmer of hope in the way it was received

My heart and spirit are broken, but I feel flutters of excitement about what lies ahead
