Not a drill. One of the largest babysitter sites will pilot folding "AI" ratings based on social media scans "into the site’s current array of sitter screenings."
China is explicitly building AI social control tools. We're drifting via business model.🤷♀️

Yep, this is what's happening. Big transition. "The technology is reshaping how some companies approach recruiting, hiring and reviewing workers, offering employers an unrivaled look at job candidates through a new wave of invasive psychological assessment and surveillance."

Of course, human hiring is far from perfect. But this is like willy-nilly introducing a cat to an ecosystem without one to control some other pest. Problems if it works, Problems if it doesn't—and inability to tell which is which (since much of this is ML) is a core issue.

If we store this much data on everyone, there will be a proliferation of uses. Some will sound reasonable. They will be competing with faulty legacy systems. They'll spread. And we'll have a social transformation with wide-reaching impacts we never consented to.

I keep seeing commenters in the West aghast at China's Social Credit plans, as though algorithmic social control can't and won't happen here. Totally ignoring that it already is. Just not (yet) top-down by government edict.

Yeah sure and there are some lawsuits which will be interesting to watch, and "right to explanation" that is evolving in Europe. That will be interesting to watch, to see if any "interpretation" is offered to courts.

Sleep walking into algorithmism, assuming human-like abilities because technocrats day so. We used to intuit that the “human condition” was beyond the ken of even other humans. lockstep.com.au/library/ai/ai-
