Un dramma che racconta una volta di più il patriarcato. Lo stesso però è sgradevole applaudire una sentenza di ergastolo. Lo so, è difficile pensarlo in quest’occasione: ma le punizioni, le punizioni esemplari possono accontentare tutti ma non fanno fare un passo in avanti nella lotta al patriarcato

Extraordinarily important report. THIS is what AI is actually doing, while we are distracted by silly chatbots: a multitude of behind-the-scenes decision processes - unresponsive, unaccountable, and mostly undetected - encoding biases, weakening rights, and undermining trust in institutions.

"92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI"

www.techtonicjustice.org/reports/ines...

this is a damning report
reads: The Ways AI Decides How Low-Income People Work, Live, Learn, and Survive The use of artificial intelligence, or AI, by governments, landlords, employers, and other powerful private interests restricts the opportunities of low-income people in every basic aspect of life: at home, at work, in school, at government offices, and within families. AI technologies derive from a lineage of automation and algorithms that have been in use for decades with established patterns of harm to low-income communities. As such, now is a critical moment to take stock and correct course before AI of any level of technical sophistication becomes entrenched as a legitimate way to make key decisions about the people society marginalizes. Employing a broad definition of AI, this report represents the first known effort to comprehensively explain and quantify the reach of AI-based decision-making among low-income people in the United States. It establishes that essentially all 92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI.
