We've looked at the possibility of AI going wrong, but what if some lunatic designer deliberately programs it to be bad, or it gets hijacked/virus'd etc.
https://www.deseret.com/2014/1/24/2...british-museum-contains-building-instructionsA useful development IMHO:
Archaeologists use artificial intelligence (AI) to translate 5,000-year-old cuneiform tablets
A team of archaeologists and computer scientists have created an AI program that can translate ancient cuneiform tablets instantly using neural machine learning translations. - HeritageDaily - Archaeology Newswww.heritagedaily.com
Would be interesting to see what is learnt as a result.
Not too much, for the most part these tablets contain accounting records ...
Those "accounting records" are pure gold for Assyriologists and other Ancient Near East studies. Most ANE trade routes have been uncovered due to the translating of such 'mundane' record-keeping. (And, yes, that is important for understanding the origins of human civilization.)
Remember, for example, that archeology is a study where invaluable details are found in palimpsest manuscripts - what we'd now call notes scribbled on recycled scrap paper. And archeologists spend much of their time excavating middens. You may not want to dig in refuse heaps but I, for one, am grateful that archeologists do.
Sure, the cataloguing of receipts for the ancient textile and tin trade to Anatolia is not for everyone. Then again, none of my neighbours would agree that obsessing over old airplanes is a good use of one's time either ...
That’s a whole discussion all by itself. Nothing is more individual than medicine…or generates more retractions.Experts, amateurs. What's the difference? Take this site.
Seriously, I 100% decry 'armchair experts,' who know very little, posting anywhere. Would you go to an amateur doctor?
Perhaps they were looking for a fourth door out?I may be guilty of slandering an entire profession here, but I recall reading somewhere - unfortunately I can't remember where - that of all university students, law students were the hardest to convince of the statisticians' position in the three doors problem.

You mean an evil genius? It's been done.
What does that have to do with it?Here

Sometimes, Ph.D might as well stand for “post-hole digger.”
Using AI to teach AI safety? Hmmm... there's an obvious problem there.ChatGPT-style app to be trialled in schools to teach AI safety
Education Minister Blair Boyer says it is essential that students learn to use AI safely before they graduate. The trial is set to run for two months, after which a decision about a broader rollout will be made.www.abc.net.au

An apocalypse from time to time can be something necessary for human evolution, at present the fittest keeps with their taxes the less fit that are increasingly numerous because nature can no longer eliminate them as easily as before.And now a message from Microsoft:
"We are financing the AI Apocalypse."
What. A. Joke.
I feel your pain, I'm sorry for your loss.That’s a whole discussion all by itself. Nothing is more individual than medicine…or generates more retractions.
My Dad, a man who never finished grade school…couldn’t convey his level of pain to doctors who made their minds up he just had arthritis.
The MRI results my family got literally the day we put him in the ground showed not just a “knot” on his aorta…but a massive tumor on his spine.
I kick myself for doing what the doctors said in trying to get him to walk every day.
Lots of folks have to go to multiple doctors to be heard.
Outsiders have a role to play (sometimes) and they aren’t all cranks who think they know better than Einstein.
Sometimes, Ph.D might as well stand for “post-hole digger.”
I seem to remember a news item where a faker pretended to be a physician…where some patients bragged on how sympathetic and caring he was…versus their usual doctors with bad attitudes.
In medicine, quackery begins where sympathy ends.
There is enough of that with NI (Natural Intelligence)!One of my fears is that the AI you want may decide that it doesn't want you.
Worked with doctors in the acute side of medical care and can confirm that a 'lot' of doctors see patients as subordinate members of the species with arrogance as their major.
Numerous failings that cannot be unseen and even as an advanced paramedic, when I try to convey the issues I have, they fall back on classic diagnosies that have no relation to what I describe.
Oh man have I lived that.Lots of folks have to go to multiple doctors to be heard.
As you were first learning about the differential diagnosis process, you were likely exposed to the maxim, “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.” In other words, when diagnosing patients’ signs and symptoms, remember that many diagnoses (horses) are common, and the chance that a patient has a rare diagnosis (a zebra) is small. This wise phrase is attributed to Theodore Woodward, MD (1914-2005), a respected physician, researcher, and teacher at the University of Maryland who also was a charter member of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
Think ZEBRA!
April is National Primary Immune Deficiency Awareness Month!
In medical school many doctors are taught the old saying “when you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras”, which means that doctors should consider the most likely possibility first when thinking of a diagnosis. However, primary immune deficiencies are rare (like zebras!), thus the Immune Deficiency Foundation started PID Awareness Month to remind patients, families and doctors that not all diseases are horses… some are zebras!
I really do not think so, but I will not comment any further as to what informs my opinion with respect to differences between Asia and Australia.AI news readers are becoming more common across Asia. Will Australia follow suit?
Several countries across Asia are now welcoming AI news readers to their screens to present daily bulletins. Could Australia be willing to let digital bots pose as presenters?www.abc.net.au
The UK intelligence agencies are lobbying the government to weaken surveillance laws they argue place a “burdensome” limit on their ability to train artificial intelligence models with large amounts of personal data.
The proposals would make it easier for GCHQ, MI6 and MI5 to use certain types of data, by relaxing safeguards designed to protect people’s privacy and prevent the misuse of sensitive information.
Privacy experts and civil liberties groups have expressed alarm at the move, which would unwind some of the legal protection introduced in 2016 after disclosures by Edward Snowden about intrusive state surveillance.
The UK’s spy agencies are increasingly using AI-based systems to help analyse the vast and growing quantities of data they hold. Privacy campaigners argue rapidly advancing AI capabilities require stronger rather than weaker regulation.
