New from former GSW board member Paul Cleverley. You can read the article here: https://lnkd.in/eVCwZ9VT
Delighted my paper on AI Ethics in the Geological Sciences has been published today in the peer reviewed open access Journal of Geoethics and Social Geosciences! Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers many opportunities for the geosciences to improve productivity, reduce uncertainty in models and stimulate discovery of new knowledge. There are also risks to geoscience, from the spread of obsolete, inaccurate and misinformation, to threats on fundamental human rights. Whilst ethical AI frameworks exist from numerous institutions such as UNESCO, they are high level and lack practical detail in the geosciences particularly for Large Language Models (LLM). This is evidenced by the misalignment between the way current geoscience AI/LLMs are being designed, trained and deployed, with core ethical principles. Using principles and frameworks from UNESCO and the International Science Council (ISC), a set of ten recommendations are proposed to bridge the gap between practice and these ethical frameworks. Critical Realism is used as an underlying philosophy which allows the potential to provide justifiable recommendations to ethical and moral questions using judgemental rationality. These recommendations may help stakeholders in the international community reach conclusions on what “good looks like” for ethical AI in the geological sciences focusing on Language Models and their applications. This may inform developers, regulators, policy advisors, journal editors, geological surveys, societies, institutions and unions, publishers, funding bodies, geoscientists and decision makers. This is believed to be the first research paper on AI ethics in the geological sciences with a focus on Generative AI. Understanding the nuances of our ethical choices for both the development and use of LLMs and other AI tools in the geosciences, has the potential to positively impact science integrity, and critically, ensure fairness, personal privacy, democratic norms and human rights are safeguarded.

Attending #AGU2024? Check out this session on Friday morning convened by GSW CEO Phoebe McMellon and featuring moderator Maria Angela Capello de Passalacqua, and panelists Dr Özlem ADIYAMAN LOPES, Ethan Baxter, Chasalin Cobb, Alexandra Isern, and Haydon Mort. Effectively communicating the impact of earth science research on sustainability is critical for attracting new scientists to the field and for addressing the challenges that threaten our future.

Cheers to GSW Product Manager, Alistair Reece, on the publication of his new book!
I don't normally drink on a school night, but today my book was officially released so it feels appropriate to mark the occasion. Albemarle CiderWorks was the first Virginia cidery I visited when I moved here in 2009, and the Virginia Hewes Crab is an absolutely iconic apple known for making good cider since the Colonial era.

During American Geosciences Institute #EarthScienceWeek, we wanted to share a short excerpt from an interview with our former board chair, Richard Hughes, on the importance of the geosciences. "It really does hold the key to many of the major societal global challenges, which are facing humanity at this point. For example, living with the impacts of climate change, sourcing those essential, critical metals, which will underpin the energy transition." #geology #sustainability #earthscience https://lnkd.in/eQhztSve
