I'm imagining a sci-fi world that incorporates several fully-realized AI implementations while preparing this week's #PapersThatMakeYouGoHmmm list.

Several are potential #WritingPrompt(s) for #screenwriters.

There is so much potential to build a better world. #BuildBackBetter

This one, for example, brings to mind a doctor searching a Google-like engine based on caption similarity. The results include a summary of patient outcomes, pro and con.

This one a #BostonLegal-like episode with William Shatner finding a loophole in an AI's legal argument.

This one a political dictator using AI to silence dissenters.

This one a toy with reinforcement learning designed to elicit specific emotional cues from babies/children.

This one automatically filtering children into predefined roles.

This one a religious sect using AI to detect and punish "errors" among its followers.

This one to predict unanticipated consequences of new laws, making Congress more efficient.

Self-explanatory.

This one local municipalities better predicting problem areas and either proactively planning for them or condemning them as unfit to live (or housing unwanted people in these areas).

This one a world with more frequent use of #ASL to reduce noise pollution. Perhaps a militant Buddhist municipality mandates it?

Reviewing ML weekly brings my imagination to life. Hopefully a few #screenwriting guilds will agree and it will lead to more diverse ideas being represented in different cultures.

#StarTrek or #TheExpanse could even expand to include more artificial lifeforms.
