ML is really cool technology with incredible applications and potential. For example, biological genomes can now be sequenced relatively easily but finding the actual protein-coding sequences hidden in these massive genome sequences can be difficult. ML provides some novel approaches to this problem, and can potentially markup these genomes and even classify the probable structure/function of the resulting proteins. Amazing stuff, really.
However, anyone who thinks this tech couldn't go off the rails in the hands of nefarious actors should go read Ed Black's "IBM and the Holocaust" or Josef Teboho Ansorge's "Identify and Sort".
