This article conflates anyone knowing from me knowing in order to generate this article. I don't have access to the crime prediction algorithms, so even if I wanted to know the result for me, I can't. On the other hand, I can pull my free yearly credit report right now. I haven't, so I don't know what it is right now. Injecting AI here doesn't change how I would operate as a human to know or not know.
I would argue AI does not shift the balance of forceful-media-inception. That belongs with cybernetics and direct chip-to-brain interactions. AI just uncovers new information for us to consume through old ways. So choosing not to know is by just using the pre-AI way: avoid certain sites, doctors, etc. Once we have cybernetic implants, that's when we may have to adopt new behaviors to avoid a new avenue from unwantingly pushing information into us.
