Will Artificial Intelligence End Humanity?

A: The fly in the ointment of (so-called) AI is humanity.

The mistakes come when people over estimate what it can do, so lean on it to make decisions.

There has already been issues raised in the past with some US courts using software evolved from the insurance industry to make decisions on the likelihood of someone re-offending or being a bail risk.
The main issue:
Clearly the accused is no longer being judged by their peers, as is required by law.

Machine learning and large language models all start with inherent bias of data in several forms.
Quantity and quality.
The humans tell it which is more "valuable".
Then humans add another layer of filters for setting a task.
This adds some required bias towards the task.
On top of that many systems add human desired outcomes in the form of more filters.
These are cultural and political, and add yet more bias to the system.

Now we ask it a question and hope that all our helpful interference does not conflict with the initial data set.
...Next we wonder why AI is having hallucinations and an existential crisis.

As long as it is a tool used by a human for a task we can control it.
Once we expect it to control human lives we must remember who set that task, for they are the architect of the situation, not the AI.

I think AI can do a much better job than human jurors. It will certainly have a much better knowledge and understanding of the law.

The Asch Conformity Experiments indicate that human beings are heavily influenced by their peers. Half the jury will go along with the most dominant in the group. When only one member still disagrees with the rest, they will give in after being locked in a room with them for a few days, just to get it over with.

Mostly unknown today, almost everyone who has seen it considers this to be one of the most underrated and intelligent sci-fi films ever, as well as the most accurate picture of AI.

AI Text to Video

A new AI product creates video from text input.

Historical footage of California during the gold rush

Who needs to build film sets when AI can do this? Social media sites will need to use software to label these AI videos as “AI generated” since without special software one can no longer tell what is real, and what has been generated by AI.

@shifte Is that a misspelling of "AGILE" ?

HAHA
I use "nimble". I don't use "agile".
Both mean the same thing for me.
"nimble", "nin(ja)-ble", easy to remenmber for me.
