Machine is so far able to identify eight common crimes such as fraud, gambling, dangerous driving and ‘picking quarrels’, researchers say
Prosecutors in China already use an AI tool to evaluate evidence and assess how dangerous a suspect is to the public
"While the original goal of AI is to produce human-like machines, in the end, machine learning will just end up making humans behave more like machines instead." - hardmaru
Following calls from the government of New Zealand for the adoption of international laws to prohibit and limit autonomous weapons systems, the United States has opposed such regulations. Speaking at a meeting in Geneva, US official Josh Dorosin maintained that America saw "the best way to make progress ... would be through the development of a non-binding code of conduct”.

#Comment: The entire Robotics & A.I Industry should be deeply ashamed of itself. Weapons are the true "killer app" of your tech. No wonder that the people involved act like soulless robots already today.

After four years, my time at Dr.Strange Love's insane asylum has come to an end. While I did meet many genuinely nice and interesting people, I've never seen so many highly educated useful idiots, one sided apparatchiks and evil geniuses in one place. The scale of ambition and operations is truly dizzying. But equally the levels of secrecy, confusion, arrogance and lust for control and power are mind boggling. In summary, it is a madhouse. I did learn a great deal for which i am very thankful, especially by studying the shadows of the invisible. Most notably, I've learned that education has little to-do with true intelligence, and intelligence has even less to-do with getting the essentials right. The heart is the true mystery, not the brain - a fact that Dr.StrA.Inge Love will likely never comprehend. All that said, i want to sincerely thank all the kind souls I've met along this wild and fascinating journey. May our practice and life be of benefit to all beings everywhere.
“We want to remove any kind of psychiatric review from the process and allow the individual to control the method themselves,”[...] “Our aim is to develop an artificial intelligence screening system to establish the person’s mental capacity. Naturally, there is a lot of skepticism, especially on the part of psychiatrists.”
#Comment: Trying to moderate a powerful generative system is a sisyphean task that inevitable will fail, but certainly will lead to more censorship of human speech and action. The only thing more stupid, is trying to apply intellectual property rights to the outputs of a generative system. These are not signs of strengthening artificial intelligence, but quickly degenerating human intelligence.
Confusing leaky computational prediction modeling pipelines with "reality" is a catastrophic mental illness that the majority of "experts" in science, politics, economics & military suffer from.
"More specifically, the Oracle study found that 82% of employees believe AI can support their careers better than humans."
#Comment: This has little to do with real advances in "AI" (I had the "pleasure" of working on interactive ML systems for career support at G), and a lot to do with the collapse of interpersonal relationships and trust. Related:"Thoughts on Sanity in Times of Automated Insanity"
