Looks like William Gibson's Turing Registry is being constructed by the EU - although I imagine they won't be sanctioning their own or allied governments for us

Looks like William Gibson's Turing Registry is being constructed by the EU - although I imagine they won't be sanctioning their own or allied governments for using AI to automatically generate kill lists and conduct assassinations in regions under their own military occupation, will they? See:

AI-based detection of a 'possible supporter of violent resistance' for targeted assassination is on par, accuracy-wise, with identification of a 'potential customer for a new laptop' for a targeted advertising campaign. I imagine it's a very similar approach, in which user behavior is recorded by Google or similar and fed into an AI system which then generates a list of products/services that target might want to buy (or political opinions they might hold, etc.).
