If it does, we are all screwed. US student handcuffed after AI system apparently mistook bag of chips for gun | Baltimore | The Guardian
An artificial intelligence system (AI) apparently mistook a high school student’s bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the pupil was armed.
And because if an AI tells you something, it must be true. These people are more idiotic than I gave them credit for.
Taki Allen was sitting with friends on Monday night outside Kenwood high school in Baltimore and eating a snack when police officers with guns approached him.
“At first, I didn’t know where they were going until they started walking toward me with guns, talking about, ‘Get on the ground,’ and I was like, ‘What?’” Allen told the WBAL-TV 11 News television station.
This is going to turn out to be a nightmare for all of us, especially if the cops are going to display this level of "I was just following (the AI's) orders!" intelligence.
Hat tip to Clayton Cramer: I Think AI is Not Coming for Your Job Anytime Soon
Except maybe your job as idiot.
Lot more details at The Guardian link at the top.
So the cops had the picture that triggered the AI report, but apparently were to incompetent to realize that it was a false report. Perhaps someone could take their jobs.
