Excellent! You articulated my concerns beautifully. I read about the “primate” incident.
Robots in America may just be cleaning up spills right now, but the technology is there to make the robots far more sinister, using various algorithms. A mysterious bulge at a waistline could be a gun, a red hat could mean a White supremecist, etc.
Thank You for explaining my point so eloquently.
AI and ML are like firearms: in and of themselves they are tools, technology. Objects.
In hands of moral folks, they can be used for good.
It is the beasts among us, be they mobsters or tech employees, and what's in their heart when they brandish these tools, that should be the focus.
The tricky thing with algorithms, is that it is harder vs mobsters to discern the evil that lurks within. Stay tuned.
