Peter Moore: A.I. in, garbage out
Are you terrified by artificial intelligence? So are our state legislators, who passed Senate Bill 205, the nation’s first attempt to regulate robo brains. They enacted A.I. controls in employment, lending, financial and legal services, insurance, health, housing and — redundancy alert! — in government.
Feel better now? Don’t!
Note that Google, IBM, and Microsoft visited our statehouse to support the bill. How good could it possibly be? Even our high-tech gov, who made his second and third fortunes selling greeting cards and flowers online, signed Senate Bill 205 only reluctantly because he thought the law needed serious tweaking. The problem: The data sets that A.I. depends on are corrupted by human foibles, which A.I. algorithms then concentrate and amplify. Be very afraid! And the law doesn’t even take effect until 2026! If we survive that long!
