    People get mad when AIs do or say politically incorrect things. What if it's hard to prevent them from drawing such conclusions, and the easiest way to fix this is to teach them to hide what they think? That seems a scary skill to start teaching AIs.

        These slides from @stucchio on the tradeoffs in AI ethics are a must read for anyone interested in this subject https://www.chrisstucchio.com/pubs/slides/crunchconf_2018/slides.pdf … Many of the ethical objections to AI refuse to acknowledge these fundamentals

        Feed ai the bigotry of our current world and all we are doing is accelerating inequality and not actually making the world a better place Also the Actually takeaway is they are the ones initiating racist prompts then cherrypicking results

        I'm more scared of Natural Intelligence: all the respectable people with advanced degrees who think anybody who points out that the races differ in, say, average sprinting ability must be canceled because otherwise that means ... Hitler Was Right! No robot would be that crazy.

        I'm new to machine learning and AI but I've already been asked to build systems that can catch people cheating on tests, twice. Neither was actually built, but the idea of teaching machines to detect when people are lying seems like bad and inevitable, idea.

        I imagine this ending up in law enforcement eventually, as a lie detector of sorts - and considered, say, circumstantial evidence. This is indeed scary, given that AI is essentially a black box and noone could know for sure why it assessed you the way it did.
