In the encyclical, the pope talks about the ethics of responsible AI usage. It's pretty dense material, but if I had to summarize it, I'd boil it down to three general moral laws: 1) AI may not be used to injure a human being or,

I have been advocating within my org to replace "fungible" with "flexible" or "generalist." "Fungible" implies they are a commodity, easily swapped for someone else. In other words, they are so low-va

I'd say it would be more fitting that the individual people named in the suit had to pay the bill. But in that absence of that, having taxpayers pay the bill is the next best way to wake people up about the true cost of incompetent pu

Economists often say that the national debt isn't analogous to consumer debt, because the US has a number of means to address it that the average consumer does not have, including the ability to print money. And while that's true

Wait, the main takeaway from this article is that cybersecurity sales teams now have great leads? Facepalm. The real takeaway should be that at every level -- government, corporate, healthcare entities, personal -- we need to rethink how we

John Bryant, aka The Civil Rights Lawyer, recently did a piece about a similar case of mistaken identity. The consequences weren't as severe, but the willingness to trust the AI over any other evidence was the same: https:/&#x2F

I'm a big fan of an economic philosophy known as distributism, popularized by G.K. Chesterton and Hillaire Belloc more than a century ago. It basically says that the economy works best when ownership of productive property is as diffus
