Great thread from @rcalo (unsurprising) in which he discusses dynamics of using robots to manage potentially violent situations. Spoiler alert: It's a bad idea because it lowers cost of using force. I'll add, Ryan mentions shitty #AI making judgments. I'd like to add to that. 1/x
The best #AI is really, really stupid. It doesn't understand anything and its entire universe is its training set. Most situations are not violent. So your training set will be limited (and where would it come from?) Article mentions a film the company will produce. 2/x
That seems pretty limited, you'll need huge numbers of situations in different environments. Also, if you just train it on violent interactions, well, that's what it will find. There's the classic story of the #AI used to find tanks, but really it finds trees. 3/x
So if violent scenes take place by brick buildings, that's the correlation AI could draw. There are so many, many ways to get this wrong. And none to get it right. We don't understand human behavior that well, how can we possibly expect a huge pile of stupid math to get it? FINI
