You can fire people, arrest them, fine them, coerce them, convince them, train them, etc. Moreover, we have have millennia of experience in dealing with humans and their problems. Humans aren't perfect, but dealing face-to-face with a human that's empowered to actually do things is far more pleasant than a black box AI model.
- austinjp 5y agoYou can forgive (or not) a human when they fuck up. This is a real, meaningful, valuable part of the experience of dealing with injustice, negligence, etc. It's why witness statements are given due weight in courts. We already know how frustrating, depressing and dehumanising it can be to experience corporate negligence, where responsibility is diffused to such an extent that it becomes meaningless. AI will magnify this frustration a thousand-fold unless we acknowledge this problem and put the brakes on AI deployment until we work out how to fix it. And it may be that the problem is insoluble.
