Both.

Phone cameras and camcorders existed before social media, and it wasn't enough. Even Rodney King was viewed as an isolated incident of how rogue cops act, and Caroline Bryant was a rogue example of white women trying to murder Black men by pretending to be harmed. It wasn't until social media that people could see how widespread the issue was.

Before social media, video of racist police abuse of Black people could only reach the masses through the news. And the news was actively complicit in hiding this truth. Every major newspaper in the US knew that Black people were telling the truth, and knew that cops lie constantly. And every major newspaper in the US lied about it and covered it up. Evil, unjustifiable behavior.

Which is why social media is much more important than newspapers for civil rights, and it's not close. And why video evidence without a distribution channel doesn't drive change.

"Mutta uhkarohkeasti kehtaan väittää: mielestäni tekoälyä ja internetiä ei voi verrata toisiinsa. Siinä missä internetin tulo ja etenkin sosiaalisen median alustat vaikuttivat jakeluun, tekoäly vaikuttaa tiedon tuottamisen prosessiin."

Minusta tämä on tärkeä pointti. Olen kuullut itsekin tämän vertauksen generatiivisesta tekoälystä uutena tietokoneena, uutena taulukkolaskentaohjelmana, uutena Internetinä ja varmaan jonain muunakin. Mutta siinä unohtuu asioita.
