Making an AI that detects violations of social norms itself sounds like a violation of social norms

Odd, the AI says it isn't. It must be you that is in violation.

This sounds like a prequel to the show Psycho-Pass.

Can we like.. maybe have some good as in morally use cases for AI?

I know we had the medical diagnosis one, that was nice. Maybe some more like that?

What? Like ones that can quarantine you for being asymptomatic of Sea horse flu et al? Great idea.

[-] luthis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, more like the ones that give early warning signs of like, dementia or something.

This will absolutely be used to oppress the neurodivergent at some point

Could be helpful if it silently (or at least subtly) warns the user that they're approaching those boundaries. I wouldn't mind a little extra assistance preventing those embarrassing after-the-fact realizations. It'd have to be done in a way that preserves privacy though.

Like most scientific and technical advances, it could be an amazing tool for personal use. It won’t, of course. It will be used to make someone rich even richer, and to control or oppress people. Gotta love humanity.

Still dangerous, an authority could subtly shift those boundries in order to slowly push your behaviour in a desired direction.
