Great! Automated discrimination against the poor
do ‘the poor’ all drive really bad?
We’ve already got numerous examples of how these ai models and face recognition models tend to have biases or are fed data that accidentally has a racial bias. Its not a stretch of the imagination to see how this can go wrong.
No, but any automated system can be used to punish people who cannot afford to fight it.
Well to be fair, this is because of the stupid justice system in the US.
Just the term “afford to fight for it” is something that never should exist in a civilized society.
I agree, but can we not with the r word?
Yes I can edit it, didn’t mean to offend.
Not that I’m aware of.
But we know the criminal justice system currently has biases. If the data the “AI” is trained on was affected by these biases, or others that we don’t realize, then it will produce biased results.One of the worst parts about all this to me is that the AI and the dataset used to trained it are kept secret as proprietary information, and the police and governments buy it anyway despite that nobody can even try to check the code or dataset to see what biases or errors it might have (and definitely does).
Wonder how long before these things start automatically mailing you a ticket because they calculated your speed between camera stops and determined you were going 3-5mph over the limit on the highway and if the “well it was used to catch a criminal” crowd will be as accepting of this technology then
The section control technology youre refering to is already being used in some countries, and they ofcourse automatically send you your speeding tickets. 3-5 mph would only be a marginal fine tho, if there even would be a fine at all. I dont understand though how that would be any different from normal speed checks, except for the fact that it might be more accurate.
Wake me when the AI can identify people who are going to commit crimes before they commit the crimes.
Edit: it’s a precog reference from Minority Report, btw.
Why would you need to be woken up if you have no intent of committing a crime?
Poor guy needs an alarm clock or something.
Wait so if you drive like a crazy person after a few beers and a good ol’smash up with the lads then you are suddenly a criminal?
I do my best driving after a few beers.
Granted, that’s mostly because I have a much easier time hitting pedestrians when I’m sober.
Oh neat, this knowledge will now passively motivate me so hard to act normal that it’s gonna flag me every time!
