This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.

Rules:

  • Please avoid downvoting recommendations just because you don't personally like the recommended material; remember that liking is a two-place word. If you can point out a specific flaw in a person's recommendation, consider posting a comment to that effect.
  • If you want to post something that (you know) has been recommended before, but have another recommendation to add, please link to the original, so that the reader has both recommendations.
  • Please post only under one of the already created subthreads, and never directly under the parent media thread.
  • Use the "Other Media" thread if you believe the piece of media you want to discuss doesn't fit under any of the established categories.
  • Use the "Meta" thread if you want to discuss about the monthly media thread itself (e.g. to propose adding/removing/splitting/merging subthreads, or to discuss the type of content properly belonging to each subthread) or for any other question or issue you may have about the thread or the rules.

this appears corrupted to my connection, but appears to be a physical alteration to road signs to fool auto vehicle ML systems

Does your machine mind? Ethics and potential bias in the law of algorithms

"At the event Christina Blacklaws (incoming vice president of the Law Society and director of innovation at Cripps) called for leglisation to govern AI. See https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/call-for-legislation-to-govern-ai/5061524.article

This could be overly restrictive to the successful development of AI – see http://digitalbusiness.law/2017/02/do-we-need-robot-law/. Whilst appropriate legislative developments may be needed where there are real existing barriers to AI adoption (potentially, the Text and Data Mining Exemption for copyright materials may need review) or where there is a real need to manage and control the implementataion or use of AI, there is little need for a new regulatory regime specifically for AI. Some existing laws may need tweaking and modification and there may be a need for some new laws in specific circumstances (e.g. driverless cars) but not a whole new legal framework."
