"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>“The first impression here, I’m thinking, ‘OMG, I’m really in Silicon Valley.” That is what you see on the TVs!'” gushed Jasmine Meng, 28, a materials engineer from Shanghai who is spending the first half of 2019 trying to launch a startup in Sunnyvale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately for Meng, she has got the full backing of a giant German multinational, but more on that later. Let’s talk first about Meng’s winning startup idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In China’s big cities, horrendous air pollution is a regular thing, not just the occasional outgrowth of wildfires like those seen last fall in California. Air pollution is a top reason why you see so many Chinese people wearing face masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven’t visited China recently, you can watch any number of news reports depicting the country’s struggle with air pollution:\u003cbr>\n[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaLuyS7yrIw]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am the potential customer of our products,” Meng said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that problem led Meng to come up with this pitch: a better face mask, one that is better fitting, better functioning, and frankly, less ugly. “It can protect your health and in the meantime, not compromise your style,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She delivered this pitch to her employer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mann-hummel.com/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mann+Hummel\u003c/a>, which makes most of its billions annually from industrial air filter manufacturing; conventional car filters, to be specific.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Headquartered near Stuttgart, Germany, Mann+Hummel has been looking for alternative directions to pivot into, given that the conventional car market is changing dramatically, disrupted in large part by Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R17ZNvGofe4]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Germany has long been famous for its high quality engineering and manufacturing.

Whether the Europeans inspire U.S. politicians and regulators to follow suit is unclear. Americans have been singularly slow to consider a wide range of regulation issues around technology.

He’s excited that Europeans are starting to ask the tough questions about what we want companies like Google and Amazon to be responsible for as they dream up potential futures for us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regulating, especially regulating technology, is generally thought of as an attempt to articulate what companies should not do,” Susser said. “We also want to articulate a positive notion of what sort of world we want technology to be helping us build — and I think that will need to [hashed] out more specifically, but I’m happy to see it in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next steps include a \u003ca href=\"http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-1893_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pilot program\u003c/a> to develop draft rules to roll out this summer. Whether the Europeans inspire U.S. politicians and regulators to follow suit is unclear. Americans have been singularly slow to consider a wide range of regulation issues around technology. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly apologized to federal lawmakers for various failings of the social media giant, but there are no laws to force change from his company and others in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Heritage Foundation did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote citation='Ben Wagner, AI researcher'] \"It's basically an attempt to pretend like you're doing ethical things and using ethics as a tool to reach an end, like avoiding regulation.\" [/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's become clear that in the current environment, (the council) can't function as we wanted,\" the company said in a statement. That environment is one of increasing concern that the corporate AI ethics campaigns lack teeth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think (Google's decision) reflects a broader public understanding that ethics involves more than just creating an ethics board without an institutional framework to provide for accountability,\" AI researcher Ben Wagner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's original initiative fell into a tech industry trend that Wagner calls \"ethics-washing,\" which he describes as a superficial effort that's mostly a show for the public or lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's basically an attempt to pretend like you're doing ethical things and using ethics as a tool to reach an end, like avoiding regulation,\" said Wagner, an assistant professor at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. \"It's a new form of self-regulation without calling it that by name.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big companies have made an increasingly visible effort to discuss their AI efforts in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Microsoft, which often tries to position itself as an industry leader on ethics and privacy issues, published its principles around developing AI, released a short book that discussed the societal implications of the technology and has called for some government regulation of AI technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's president even met with Pope Francis earlier this year to discuss industry ethics. Amazon recently announced it is helping fund federal research into \"algorithmic fairness,\" and Salesforce employs an \"architect\" for ethical AI practice, as well as a \"chief ethical and human use\" officer. It's hard to find a brand-name tech firm without similar initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a good thing that companies are studying the issue and seeking perspectives on industry ethics, said Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a research organization.[aside tag='technology, AI' label='The Future of Tech']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ultimately, he said, a company's CEO is tasked with deciding what suggestions on AI ethics to incorporate in business decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think overall it's a positive step rather than a fig leaf,\" he said. \"That said, the proof is in successful implementation. I think the jury is still out on that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact artificial intelligence can have on society has never been more clear, Etzioni said, and companies are reacting to studies about the power of recommendation algorithms and gender bias in AI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Google's attempt shows, discussing the issues in the public eye also invites public scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google employees have had more success than other tech workers at demanding change at their company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internet search behemoth dropped a contract with the Pentagon after employees pushed back on the ethical implications of using the company's AI technology to analyze drone video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after more than 2,400 Google employees signed a petition calling for James to be taken off the board, Google scrapped the board altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google had also faced dissent from its chosen councilmembers. Alessandro Acquisti, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ssnstudy/status/1112099099124350976\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced on Twitter\u003c/a> he was declining the invitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ssnstudy/status/1112099054551515138\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wrote that he is devoted to grappling fairness and inclusion in AI, but this was not the \"the right forum for me to engage in this important work.\" He declined to comment further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One expert who had committed to staying on the council is Joanna Bryson, associate professor in computing at the University of Bath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A self-described liberal, she said before the dissolution that it makes sense to have political diversity on the panel, and she didn't agree with those who think it's just for show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just don't think Google is that stupid,\" Bryson said. \"I don't think they're there just to have a poster on a wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said, however, that companies like Google and Microsoft do have a real concern about liability — meaning they want to make sure they show themselves, and the public, that they've tried their best to build products the right way before releasing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not just the right thing to do, it's the thing they need to do,\" she said. Bryson said she was hopeful Google actually wanted to brainstorm hard problems and should find another way to do so after the council dissolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear what Google will do next. The company said its \"going back to the drawing board\" and would find other ways of getting outside opinions.[pullquote align='left' citation='Joanna Bryson, University of Bath associate professor'] \"It's not just the right thing to do, it's the thing they need to do.\" [/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagner said now would be the time for Google to set up ethics principles that include commitments they must stick to, external oversight and other checkpoints to hold them accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if companies keep setting up external boards to oversee AI responsibility, government regulation will still be needed, said Liz O'Sullivan, a tech worker who left AI company Clarifai over the company's work in the Pentagon's Project Maven — the same project that Google dropped after its employees protested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Sullivan is wary of boards that can make suggestions that companies are under no legal obligation to stick to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every company of that size that states they're interested in having some sort of oversight that has no ability or authority to restrict or restrain company behavior seems like they're doing it for the press of it all,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",
