Everyone’s missing the point here. You’re all saying this isn’t an AI failure directly because the humans in the loop failed to provide the AI with data. That’s true, but imagine this system automating news articles for CNN or whatever, and it’s supposed to be about some minor meeting of government officials, but tens of thousands of fans are NOT watching this meeting, like they are the soccer game, and then the AI fails to report on the officials deciding to, say, tear down the local library because it’s old and useless.
It doesn’t matter if the humans in the loop are at fault, technically, for the omission, the fact that AI replaced a human who could have been tasked with going to the actual events and writing about them was the reason the events were misreported!
We’re the technologists who are supposed to think hard about how to safely implement technology like this and instead of pointing out flaws and carefully testing things, we’re just cheering on tech we don’t understand how to use or get working properly!
