There is a difference between an investigation under subpoena for example and
An automated process that alerts whomever is chosen as overseers to all possible missteps and misdeeds.
One is a very targeted and conscious effort the other is automated and pervasive everywhere all the time.
- parasubvert 4y agoBuilding and selling AI software to do this is also a targeted and conscious effort. My view is this kind of thing is inevitable and pervasive because there’s a lot of internal risks that companies and governments are worried about. The only solution is to be so valuable that it doesn’t matter.
- mc32 4y agoOk but on the one hand one choice is blanket pre-approved for all time for everyone with no time expenditure. The other one is instigated and deliberate at the official request of legal and can take a lot of time. It’s very different. It instills a climate of untrust. Everyone is “guilty”. In the other scenario everyone is innocent till a specific and circumscribed “matter” is started.
- josefx 4y agoThe targeted normally implies that you have a specific incident and a specific person suspected of a misdeed. Building an AI for blanked surveillance is the opposite of that, you aren't looking for a specific incident, have no specific person to suspect. You are basically accusing everyone of being a criminal without any evidence of wrongdoing. Most people don't want to spend their whole lives treated as criminals, anyone who does is free to live in north korea or russia.
