If you can’t trust AI, why use it at all?

Can you trust AI? Here’s why you shouldn’t

Via LLRX Can you trust AI? Here’s why you shouldn’t Security expert Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders believe that people who come to rely on AIs will have to trust them implicitly to navigate daily life. That means they will need to be sure the AIs aren’t secretly working for someone else. Across the internet, devices and services that seem to work for you already secretly work against you. Smart TVs spy on you. Phone apps collect and sell your data. Many apps and websites manipulate you through dark patterns, design elements that deliberately mislead, coerce or deceive website visitors. This is surveillance capitalism, and AI is shaping up to be part of it.





Assume current technology? Is manual review ever justified?

Millions of Pages of Documents Is No Reason to Delay Trump’s January 6 Trial

The Atlantic [read free ] – We’ve litigated cases with far more paperwork than that. The task was manageable and, crucially, fair. By Norman L. Eisen and Andrew Weissmann. “Next Monday, Judge Tanya Chutkan is expected to decide the date of Donald Trump’s federal criminal trial for his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The two parties’ proposed dates are ages apart: Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested January 2024, and Trump has asked for more than two years later than that. Yesterday, Smith submitted a brief response to Trump’s filing. Both sides contend that their suggested schedule is what normal order requires. Smith has the better argument by far. Contemporary trials, civil and criminal, routinely involve the tsunami of data people create day in and day out, resulting in millions of pages of documents produced during discovery. As the government’s reply highlights, Trump’s argument, resting principally on the more than 11.5 million pages of evidence the government produced as an excuse for significant delay, is without merit. Based on our experience in this field, it is simply disingenuous to use 19th- and 20th-century standards for paper cases in the modern era. The chart that Trump’s lawyers produced in their brief—visualizing a tower of physical paper they would have to review in a six-month span—is misleading. We—attorneys both—would be laughed out of court if we suggested delays for our side because a page-by-page document review of all discovery would take three years. Under that approach, no major civil or criminal case would ever be tried for years and years—which may be the Trump team’s actual goal.”





This could become more useful as the 2024 election heats up.

Is OCR Correct That Website Metadata Is Regulated by HIPAA? Chicago Federal Court Asks

Scott Lashway and Matthew Stein of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips write:

The plaintiff’s bar continues to bring new wiretapping claims over pixels and analytics programs in courts around the country, including against hospitals and other entities covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This comes, in part, on the heels of the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) December 2022 bulletin on tracking technologies and the more recent joint HHS–Federal Trade Commission (FTC) letter to website and application providers on the subject. The courts are now beginning to discuss how those materials impact litigation against HIPAA-covered entities.
