The content will follow much of the recent article https://cyberscoop.com/how-ai-will-change-democracy/ https://cyberscoop.com/how-ai-will-change-democracy/ -- A problem: > To start, I want to list some of AI’s core competences. First, it is really good as a summarizer. Second, AI is good at explaining things, teaching with infinite patience. Third, and related, AI can persuade. Propaganda is an offshoot of this. Fourth, AI is fundamentally a prediction technology. Predictions about whether turning left or right will get you to your destination faster. Predictions about whether a tumor is cancerous might improve medical diagnoses. Predictions about which word is likely to come next can help compose an email. Fifth, AI can assess. Assessing requires outside context and criteria. AI is less good at assessing, but it’s getting better. Sixth, AI can decide. A decision is a prediction plus an assessment. We are already using AI to make all sorts of decisions As a «summarizer»?! Schneier is probably speaking of LLMs, and must have had a very different experience from mine: the summaries I read were really, really, really witless, suggesting brain deficiency in a "Turing test" scenario. This stresses the core problem: until proper proficiency is achieved, that which matches or surpasses Professionals, irresponsible adoption will be damaging.
