This is just fearmongering; misrepresenting and oversimplifying the truth to the point where all meaning is lost.
- There's no distinction between the different types of systems involved.
- Human problems are blamed on the system (A lack of human support isn't the programs fault)
- Individual stories are used not to underline broader evidence, but meant to be the evidence ("a man died in india, therefore all computers are evil").
- There's constant generalizations. It's not "some algorithms", it's "the algorithms" that are being blamed. (Ctrl+F shows the word "some" appears just once in the text FFS)
I don't know if the author is satisfied with this article; if they are, they should be fired. Misinformation like this is ammunition for those crying "fake news" to further destabilize the political landscape, which, in turn, harms the reputation of real journalism, the kind that our societies rely on to maintain a functioning democracy.
