The assumption is that a human review the conditions that led the automated system to make that decision.
I think it would be trivial to argue in court that rubberstamping some scalar value that a deep neural net or whatever spit out does not pass that bar. It's still the automated system's decision, the human is just parroting it.
Note that it's easier for the FAANGs to argue such a review has happened because they have massive amounts of heterogenous data where there's bound to be something that would be sufficient to argue with (like having posted something that offended someone).
But a single score? I'd say almost impossible to argue. One would have to demonstrate that the system is near-perfect, and virtually never makes mistakes.
- auggierose 2y agoWhy a single score? The AI can generate a whole boilerplate of argumentation of why it made the decision. The reviewer will pretend to read and contemplate it, and then press the "OK" button.
- ben_w 2y agoThere's a lot of "what can you get away with" in the world; but getting caught cheating like that is likely to go worse than getting caught using an LLM for a final exam.
- auggierose 2y agoMy argument is there is no "getting caught" here. It is perfectly legal.
- ckastner 2y agoFair point.
