This article is trying to get a conversation on "AI ethics" in product management going. It gets pretty close to the point, but without talking about overall product ethics, this notion of AI ethics is unlikely to go anywhere.

It also falls into the regular trap of relying on these corporate "responsible AI offices" to lead, and again, we know how that goes. To quote someone at Hugging Face on an article on AI ethics is hilarious.

They also cited Dr Emily Bender, but just on AI capabilities and not on AI ethics. Which is ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always wildly excited when product people write about ethics. I just wish we could take a wider lens social-good approach to it.

It's news website rankings day! The figures for Australia's top news websites in July are out, so… who is up, who is down, and is anyone down and out (of the Top 20)?

The first thing you'll see is a lot of green growth! Where in the June rankings all but one (1) of the Top 20 were shaded red – prompting frankly unnecessary angst and doomsaying – in July two-thirds of publishers saw growth, with just two of the Top 10 here experiencing a month-on-month drop in audience.

ABC took No1, newscomau 2nd, and Guardian Australia had the 5th biggest audience in Australia 💪 ahead of DailyMail (!) and SMH.

Massive thanks to the 7.4 MILLION Australians who read Guardian Australia in July 🙏

Where most other publishers saw some growth in July, DailyMail lost another 611k readers (on top of their -246k readers in June) and dropped two rankings from 4th to 6th. That saw 7News and Guardian Australia rise one spot each. The Age had a huge month, adding 780k readers and jumping two spots to take 9th in the Top 10.

7News added a remarkable 1m readers in July to go to 8.5m readers. Worth noting that, after losing -576k readers in May and another -565k readers in June, this was essentially a return to where they'd been in April.

I wouldn't be surprised if a decent amount of The Age audience uplift came from Apple News. Their coverage of the Victoria childcare abuse case and the Erin Patterson trial got a LOT of play in Apple News Top Stories through the month.

What else? BBC News lost 453k readers but only dropped one ranking, out of the Top10 to 11th. Courier Mail had a strong month, rising 5 spots to 15 from 20th. But SkyNewsOz dropped to 19th and The Nightly dropped back out of the Top20.

I made a submission this week to the Treasury of the Australian Government on the right to repair in the age of Tesla papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf #auslaw #auspol #righttorepair #consumerlaw #competition #IP #product #stewardship #SDGs #cars #Tesla

The Australian Treasurer Hon. Jim Chalmers has been promising to expand the right to repair - it will be interesting to see what emerges in this policy space.
