I'm not concerned about AI, but I am concerned about AI being improperly used. In Australia there was a recent controversy with the govt using big data to improperly correlate tax returns with information submitted to centrelink (social security), to determine if people had received welfare when they were ineligible.
It turned out that correlating the data was prone to error due to limitations in both datasets, and it was worsened by the high error tolerance, such that they automatically issued debt notices to all false positives and cut their payments with no human oversight. This was made worse by there being no way to appeal the debt to a human.
I think you're only going to see this kind of blindfaith incompetence more.
