[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 7933695, member: 926"] There is also the problem of governments and organizations having an improper reliance on algorithms while absolutely not understanding how and what they should and [B][I]should not[/I][/B] be used for, because algorithms are not people, don't think like people, and don't understand what people think, need, and/or want, and so they will output bizarre/absurd/impossible mathematically generated responses to human problems that will only end up making situations worse. Also AIs/algorithms written to be used for tasks with the idea that the AI will remove human prejudices from the equation, but with the people creating and using them not understanding that the human prejudices have been baked into the AIs by the programmers, and so the supposedly impartial AIs only end up doubly reinforcing the prejudices because of their supposed but deeply flawed false impartiality. I am specifically thinking of those facial recognition criminal profiling algorithms that could supposedly accurately predict people with criminal tendencies based on nothing but impartially, mathematically analyzing facial characteristics... except when it was shown that the supposedly "criminal" facial characteristics the algorithms learned to identify as "criminal" were actually just the common facial characteristics of minorities, since most of the "criminals" used to teach the algorithm were minorities. Also, a lot of companies today now are using algorithms in Human Resource departments to supposedly analyze potential employees to determine who will "best fit in with the company culture" and relying on the AI to determine which applicants should even get interviews at all... so a lot of people who would be perfect for jobs are being rejected out of hand by computers because companies are relying on flawed AIs to filter applicants. There are a [I]lot [/I]of problems with over-reliance on and misuse of AIs and algorithms, and things have gotten increasingly worse over the past decade or so as organizations rely on AI more and more without understanding its strenghts and limitations. AI absolutely has its place, but that place is [I][B]absolutely not[/B][/I] as a substitute for human judgement. Unfortunately that is exactly what many organizations are using it for. [/QUOTE]
