Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

With the number of countries that fingerprint visitors, I am pretty sure that my fingerprints are basically everywhere, since I don't have a lot of trust in their ability to keep this information secure.

Mine are on file with the Feds at least because of requirements to study law and a security clearance investigation for a job.

I worked a bit for the Census Bureau back in 2010, and they take prints for that.

NOTE - Me doing anything criminal would be supremely stupid, as my fingerprints have been on file with RCMP for decades (government job application and firearms/restricted firearms certs).

Umbran looks at the box of medical latex gloves he has for helping his wife with cleaning up messy cases, then looks back, and shrugs.
 



A new, hilarious data point: just found out today that the latest medical patient electronic intake forms my Dad’s group uses is hallucinating honorifics & titles. Apparently, you can pick your usual “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, “Ms.”, “Miss” or whatever, as well as certain ranks & titles, like “Officer”, “Sergeant”, “Colonel”, “Dr.”, “Prof.” etc.

…but it will occasionally decide to change the patient’s choice in that window. So you might have a 6 year old patient referred to as “Col. Johnny Smith” in their records.

This is apparently down to some recent changes that are (allegedly) resulting from AI-assisted coding.

This is problematic because;

1) there’s a BUNCH of laws that cover altering patient records (though most don’t apply to general clerical data)

2) if it’s altering honorifics in the intake forms, is anything else on those forms being randomly edited? Imagine the problems that could arise if the software is changing medication lists, allergies, or contact info? Consent to sharing data for consultation purposes? DNR orders? Contact information?

3) they also don’t know yet if the software is only doing this for new patients only, or if it’s accessing older intake forms. And if so, when? Constantly? Randomly? Only when someone accesses the patient’s records?

And also on the legal front, now a "well known adult entertainment" company, that seems to almost exclusively make content so that they can sue people for sharing it out of copyright, is suing Meta for downloading their "content" to train it's video AI.
