Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

    Acting like everyone ending up in concentration camps is without question doomerist.

    not looking out for other folks usually ends badly for people

    So does letting the government put the most revolutionary technology of the century in the hands of big tech. The Democrats choose their policy. If nobody swing votes and you all expect the world to blindly vote Democrat they’ll get away with shit they shouldn’t get away with.

    The ideal scenario is that there are enough people like me that the Democrats think twice about being overbearing and still win regardless.

      Concentration camp is just one of many possible scenarios. Regardless LLMs aint the most revolutionary tech of the century, its just one of many tools currently being devoloped, Its just hyped to shit cause its fancy and most folks dont care to understand how it functions.

      You really do come across as one of those gormless tech bro wannabes who latch onto every flashy bit of tech you come across. Like solar roadways, or the hyperloop, or the thorium powered car.

      It aint revolutionary dumbass, its cleverbot with a fancy coat of paint, new buzzwords, and some impressive but inconsequential improvements. And thats just the chatbots, the “art” bots a pretty much the same though using key words and association to create a rather impressive collage.

      Frankly if ya want revolutionary tech go look at some of the new nuclear reactors being researched, or new biofuel refinement methods, or fuck even organ cloning. None of them are glamorous but progress rarely is.
