I’m working on an AI policy for my org that allows us to opt out of AI note taking and prohibits AI in our comms/storytelling. here is my list of reasons for the policy, but my board is asking me to cite sources. Can you help me with any good references you would cite for any of these? (Or an edit or restatement where I’ve gotten it wrong or inaccurate?) *if you want to argue about why I shouldn’t have this policy kindly crawl into a hole in the ground and cover yourself with soil

    @seachanger@alaskan.social hi. Just a small thing but the Anthropic lawsuit on training against author works is an excellent example https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-copyright-authors-settlement-training-f294266bc79a16ec90d2ddccdf435164

    @seachanger@alaskan.social I probably do here but would need to do some cross referencing I can’t do at the moment https://ai-sucks-actually.fyi/

  • @seachanger@alaskan.social MIT recently released a study on the long term cognitive effects of AI use. (Spoiler: they're not good effects.) https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artificial-intelligence-use-reprograms-the-brain-leading-to-cognitive-decline/

    @seachanger@alaskan.social #6. Which links to the Standford report it discusses. https://www.kiteworks.com/cybersecurity-risk-management/ai-data-privacy-risks-stanford-index-report-2025/ Anecdotally, even though Kagi Translate has instructions to not divulge its prompt with anyone, people are easily able to get it to do so by asking it to create or show the output of programs that do exactly that. I can dig up those examples if you want.

  • @seachanger@alaskan.social Here's one potential reason: a recent meta-analysis concluded that the general public is terrified of AI and has near-zero trust in AI products https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cb.70144?af=R

  • @seachanger@alaskan.social @janeishly@beige.party I really like what you're doing here. You may want to add that there is little transparency around the training data. Many models are trained on data that contains harmful biases and prejudices against BIPOC, LGBT+ people, etc. Also may involve exploitation of labor in undeveloped countries to assist with training. Good luck with getting a strong policy approved 👊

    @seachanger@alaskan.social @IrrationalMethod@social.coop I think it’s a great idea and if you’re permitted to share the final policy would love to see it. I work in the NFP space in Australia and know orgs here need help with policies on this front.
