AI is a thing people choose to host and are responsible for the outcomes of its use. The internal working and limitations of the machine do not make the owners less responsible.
Okay, so I agree with none of that, but you're saying as long as we host our own AI or rent our own processing from the cloud we're in the clear? I want to make sure that's your fundamental argument because that leaves all open models in the clear and frankly I could be down with that. I like AI but I'm not a huge fan of AI companies.
So insurance companies use AI to screen claims.
It denies a claim for life saving intervention - person dies. Who is responsible for that? Historically it would be the insurance company - and worker. Would it be them or the AI company?
Psych screening tools were using it to pre screen calls.
Ai tells the person to kill themselves - who is at fault if they do it. Psych screener would lose their job and their license. What and who is impacted if AI does it.
QA check on a car or product is passed by AI but should have failed.
Thousands die before the recall. Who is at fault for it? The Company leveraging AI. Or the AI itself?
Company using AI for that shit is responsible. There is no responsible way to remove a human from there process. These aren't reasonable uses of AI no matter how bad companies want to save money by not hiring.
Yeah so any space where a caregiver or worker can get fined huge sums of money for not taking adequate action it should just be illegal for AI to inherit that space then?
Because when I worked in the psych space if I was told XYand Z - I would need to act or as an individual face 30-100,000 dollars in fines.
If it’s left to the company you will just see shell corps housing the AI client facing hub. That will dissolve when legal critical mass forms and costs now outweigh the revenue wins.
“We formed LLC psych screen services, who will help our hospital team with mental health call volume!”
“Psych screen LLC is facing 27 lawsuits and is committing bankruptcy!”
“We formed LLC psych now using a different AI tool!”
Sounds like a good way to get convicted of fraud to me but that's not my area of expertise.
Really hurt Perdue pharma - they still are laughing in their mansions.
I'm not sure you get my point.
If I'm proving a service, and that service is creating and publishing disparaging information about you, you should have recourse against me. I don't get off the hook just because of the way I've set up the technology.
Right. Well if your service is a well-known bullshiter I wouldn't give a fuck. That being said, I'd be happy to agree that AI should all be open source and self-hosted. I run local AI myself, but the quality isn't there. I'd have to rent time on a big boy machine if the big players went away. That would be a little inconvenient because I'd want to have a whole bunch of requests queued up to use maximum power over minimum time and that's not really how anyone uses AI.
Maybe I could share that rental with other AI enthusiasts..... hmmm.
