7.1
Joi Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab, told the MIT-Harvard conference on the Uyghur Human Rights Crisis a few weeks ago that technology's dual-use risks enable surveillance and abuse. He warned that existing incentives and curricula insufficiently integrate humanities and STS, citing work such as Eric Topol's claim that 15 leading ML-in-medicine papers lacked clinical validation. He called for institutional and curricular reforms to prevent misuse.
