Paris MarxWhen we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.
Anisse@parismarx @ljs AI isn't the issue here. Having a for-profit medical insurer is. Using the worst tool for the job that increases profits is only a byproduct of that.
ljs@Aissen @parismarx you can have more than one problem at once. 'AI' is absolutely a problem, this is hardly the only example.
@ljs @parismarx I cannot disagree, but I find that addressing a leaf issue instead of the root cause is waste of time and energy.
@Aissen @parismarx I don't disagree, but the point was about AI and you're getting distracted :)
If you want an alternative that's less distracting, 'self driving' technologies have already killed people.
