Are you chatting with a pro-Israeli AI-powered superbot? Smart bots have emerged as an unexpected weapon in Israel’s war on Gaza. Al Jazeera looks at bots and how to spot them.

“We don't want people's voices being censored by states, but we also don't want people's voices being drowned out by these bots and by humans doing propaganda as well as states doing propaganda,” EFF’s @jillian.bsky.social told @ajenglish.bsky.social.

The Low-Paid Humans Behind AI’s Smarts Ask Biden to Free Them From ‘Modern Day Slavery’ African workers who label AI data or screen social posts for US tech giants are calling on President Biden to raise their plight with Kenya's president, William Ruto, who visits the US this week.

"A typical workday for African tech contractors, the letter says, involves 'watching murder and beheadings, child abuse and rape, pornography and bestiality, often for more than 8 hours a day.' Pay is often less than $2 per hour, it says, and workers frequently end up with [PTSD]"

"I expect there will be at least one legal challenge to the (TikTok ban) law. And I think the U.S. government will be hard-pressed to show that the law satisfies the appropriate First Amendment scrutiny," EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told Mashable.
