The State of AI Ethics Report, Volume 5 (July 2021) 5 Founder’s Note Welcome to another edition of the State of AI Ethics report from the team at the Montreal AI Ethics Institute! We’ve been thrilled with progress in the field this past quarter, especially as we’ve seen more calls for practical and actionable guidance for practitioners in the field, rather than just abstract, theoretical frameworks for evaluating the societal impacts emerging from the use of AI systems. In particular, we’ve seen a rise in interdisciplinary approaches to addressing these concerns as you’ll observe from the pieces featured in this edition of the report. We also got an overwhelming response from past readers of the report who wanted to learn more about our staff and community’s perspectives on the developments in the field and heeding that call, we’ve added a new section in the report titled “What we’re thinking” that will highlight some of our observations in more detail. We also have a special contribution from a stellar group of scholars who came together to discuss how we can reconceptualize critical race studies borrowing ideas from quantum computing titled “Critical Race Quantum Computer: A Tool for Liberation” that I strongly urge readers to peruse. We also chose to engage in a more topical analysis of the state of our field by looking through the areas of “AI and Creativity”, “AI and Environment”, and “Geopolitics and AI” to offer readers an in-depth look at some emergent areas that we believe will be essential in understanding how the field is moving forward in some underexplored areas and what we can expect going forward. We also have our evergreen “Outside the boxes” section with an eclectic mix of topics for those who want to get a broad coverage of areas in the field. Finally, we have featured profiles in our “Community Spotlights” showcasing work from intrepid scholars and activists reshaping our understanding of society and technology in different parts of the world. I hope you enjoy this report and see you in the “Closing Remarks.” Abhishek Gupta (@atg_abhishek) Founder, Director, & Principal Researcher Montreal AI Ethics Institute Abhishek Gupta is the Founder, Director, and Principal Researcher at the Montreal AI Ethics Institute.

    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

    "Youtube Kids" – Another Door Opener for Pedophilia?

    Online link: www.kla.tv/12561 | Published: 08.06.2018 "YouTube Kids" – another door opener for Pedophilia? „Elsagate“: With the App „You Tube-Kids”, You Tube offers a service that is supposed to help parents to protect their children from inappropriate contents. However, while parents think they are safe, children are confronted with brutal videos including scenes of violence, perverse sex fantasies and cannibalism. These disturbing contents are staged by characters like Ice Queen "Elsa, “Spiderman” or “Mickey Mouse”. Is “YouTube-Kids” being abused as door-opener to make children receptive to abhorrent practices and pedophilia “socially acceptable”? Since 2015 YouTube has been offering a service with the App "YouTube Kids" to help parents and children to receive only those video-clips in the proposal bar that are child and family friendly. An algorithm (that is a method of calculation) takes over the function of filtering the content that is unsuitable for children. The App has been installed more than 60 million times and is available in 37 countries and eight languages – since September 2017 also in Germany. Unfortunately, this App – that promises safety for children – however, is in no way as reliable as many parents wish it was. On the contrary: it is even dangerous. Already since June 2016 media reports have increased that children are confronted with a number of brutal children's series and animated videos that – beyond any morality – convey extremely repulsive content and that are filled with topics that are in no way suitable for children. It's about violence scenes, perverse sex fantasies or cannibalism.

  • Metal Madness: an Interview with Kingsmen

    Metal Madness: an Interview with Kingsmen

    Metal Madness: An Interview with Kingsmen Tanner Guimond Welcome to Metal Madness my fellow metalheads, covering all things metal, metalcore, deathcore and hardcore in the Providence area. I recently had the privilege of talking to Kingsmen, one of Providence’s premier melodic deathcore acts. This five-piece is made up of former members of Fortune Favors the Brave and Scriptures. The band has been around since 2016, and since its inception, Kingsmen have garnered a large fanbase and signed with Extreme Management Group, known for managing such acts as Suffocation and Rings of Saturn. If you’re into crushing breakdowns, searing melodic vocals and overall death-core madness, this is the band for you. What you notice at a Kingsmen show, apart from the raw talent and stage presence, is that for a band that hasn’t been around for a long time, they play like a seasoned band that’s been on the road for years. That comes from the dedication that the band has to their art. I caught up with lead singer Tanner Guimond Sunday night at Fete Musical hall where the band was headlining a show. Erik Nivison (Motif): How did you get together? Tanner Guimond: It all kinda happened four or five years ago. So Dylan Robertson and I were in Fortune Favors the Brave, and Frank, Adam and Tim were in a band called Scriptures. We did a couple of shows together during a weekender run, it was kinda like after going out we realized we had some chemistry. After those bands fell apart Tim (lucier guitar) reached out to me and we brought Dylan in and wrote a few songs.

  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program

    SCMS 2019 Conference Program

    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.
