&gt; This video debunks 4 dangerously misleading scientific papers, all with a Google co-author, that denigrate the urgent need for massive audits and investments in security and ethics. Terrifyingly, the scientific community has scientifically validated and massively propagated what appears to be intentional disinformation.<p>Script and sources: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;document&#x2F;d&#x2F;1MZinEbqdCyvssBWHsX2Qjrv91UlPtTL8OHPQ3gqHO7k&#x2F;edit#" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;document&#x2F;d&#x2F;1MZinEbqdCyvssBWHsX2Qjrv9...</a><p>French researcher and youtuber Lê Nguyên Hoang tries in this video essay to demonstrate that the ML research community is plagued by unfounded claims of algorithms being privacy-preserving, and lack of accountability over ethical concerns. This video seems to be the continuation of papers co-authored by Lê:<p>&gt; SoK: On the Impossible Security of Very Large Foundation Models <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2209.15259" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2209.15259</a><p>&gt; An Equivalence Between Data Poisoning and Byzantine Gradient Attacks <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;proceedings.mlr.press&#x2F;v162&#x2F;farhadkhani22b.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;proceedings.mlr.press&#x2F;v162&#x2F;farhadkhani22b.html</a>
