hot take: AI/ML, AI ethics/safety conferences (eg, FAccT) should develop and implement mechanisms that let authors flag industry-critical work to avoid review by industry-affiliated reviewers

I am also a huge fan of @myra.bsky.social 's work on anthropomorphizing AI, e.g. this FAccT paper:

It is astonishing how much better the reviews for FAccT are than for ARR (at least from the sample I'm seeing): detailed, specific, engaged, in-depth, and supportive

I am just so impressed with the FAccT reviewing community, and wish we could replicate that elsewhere!

Putin, alla disperata ricerca di liquidità, fa incarcerare gli imprenditori e confisca i beni delle loro aziende.
Grigory Kunis di iGoods, Anton Lozin di Neigandorhood Kitchen, Ilya Sakko di FACCT e Ayan Shabutdinov di Like Centre sono gli ultimi nomi di imprenditori arrestati.

Many libraries now use automated tools to measure diversity in their collections.

We examined how these tools work and whether library workers find them useful. A complex case study of libraries navigating automation, DEI, & shrinking public funding.

Our new FAccT paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.14890
Screenshot of first page of the FAccT '25 paper "Algorithms in the Stacks: Investigating automated, for-profit diversity audits in public libraries" by Melanie Walsh, Connor Franklin Rey, Chang Ge, Tina Nowak, and Sabina Tomkins. Abstract: Algorithmic systems are increasingly being adopted by cultural heritage institutions like libraries. In this study, we investigate U.S. public libraries' adoption of one specific automated tool -- automated collection diversity audits -- which we see as an illuminating case study for broader trends. Typically developed and sold by commercial book distributors, automated diversity audits aim to evaluate how well library collections reflect demographic and thematic diversity. We investigate how these audits function, whether library workers find them useful, and what is at stake when sensitive, normative decisions about representation are outsourced to automated commercial systems. Our analysis draws on an anonymous survey of U.S. public librarians (n=99), interviews with 14 librarians, a sample of purchasing records, and vendor documentation. We find that many library workers view these tools as convenient, time-saving solutions for assessing and diversifying collections under real and increasing constraints. Yet at the same time, the audits often flatten complex identities into standardized categories, fail to reflect local community needs, and further entrench libraries' infrastructural dependence on vendors. We conclude with recommendations for improving collection diversity audits and reflect on the broader implications for public libraries operating at the intersection of AI adoption, escalating anti-DEI backlash, and politically motivated defunding.

as the facct rebuttal period is in session, let me repeat what i've always said: critique is service! identifying & mapping the problem space is in & of itself a legitimate scientific contribution. we can’t proceed to “solve” a problem if we don't have a clear & comprehensive understanding of it
