Il y a qq temps j’avais demandé ici des reco de #podcast qui traitent de #tech. Parmi les réponses qu’on m’avait proposées, je pense que #TechWontSaveUs de @parismarx est l’une des meilleures, et le dernier épisode (sur le Canada et l’IA) est un de ceux qui m’a le plus passionné. (Amha, l’analyse est transposable à d’autres pays…)

Mark Carney wants Canadians to become more “literate” on AI. But is a lack of understanding really why people are against it?

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood to dig into the Canadian government’s AI strategy and its many blind spots.

NEW: The UK plans to use AI face scans to determine the age of asylum seekers at the border from next year.

However, a leaked report shows the government has known the tech isn’t accurate for more than a year.

In some cases, the technology could predict a 13.5-year-old to be an adult

If even nurses can be made gig workers, who else will be in their crosshairs?

I spoke with Katie J. Wells about how technology doesn’t have to be used against workers, but that’s precisely how it’s being implemented.

The gig economy is moving into healthcare and trying to make nurses bid on shifts through apps. It’s madness.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Katie Wells to dig into the threat gig work poses for patients and hospital workers alike. There are already horror stories.

There’s a lot of controversy around social media age limits — and rightfully so. But six months after Australia’s youth ban, other countries are already learning lessons.

Legislation in Brazil and Canada pairs age limits with design standards, including an opt out if platforms are “safe by design.” Experimentation is the route to better policy, instead of endlessly debating while tech companies evade accountability.
