Petermachine learning is a dangerous technology that is making life worse for everyone. deploying a model in a way that could cause harm to the public should require a license and liability insurance. https://archive.is/C7uVc
since your model is so quantifiably reliable, you should have no problem calculating the extent of your potential tort liability. what's that? you're **not** comfortable entrusting your personal financial future to the outcomes of your machine learning model?? but you want to expose **other people** to that model??? interesting!
Patch You Up@peter When people sue the local police department for these violations, it needs to be for huge sums of money and they need to include the "AI" company involved. The first point will hopefully make departments think twice about using this technology. The second will probably get tossed because of the terms of use agreement with the department, but at least make them pay for the lawyer time to argue that in court.
@peter I think there could even be a pretty good argument that even in spite of the official terms of use stating "AI can make mistakes," they could still be held liable. If the vast majority of a company's marketing is "this tool is great and you should use it!" but in the fine print (which the person harmed didn't consent to) it says "this tool often causes great bodily harm," they have misrepresented their product in marketing and should be liable for damages.
Misuse Case@Jumpmed @peter When police departments get sued for any kind of misconduct the payment does not come from the police budget or the local police union pension fund, but from your and my tax dollars.
This is why police departments don’t shape up even if they are found at fault for tens of millions of dollars’ worth of lawsuits, because they aren’t the ones paying up.
@MisuseCase @peter Reforming police liability is a whole separate issue. IMO police should have to carry insurance just like doctors or EMTs have to. If an officer sued for malpractice, it becomes effectively cost prohibitive for them to continue working in that field because insurers will either raise the price or refuse to insure them.
Also, end qualified immunity.
