The proliferation of technology for everyday living can be seen through ChatGPT writing term papers or robots serving meals at a restaurant.

Key Points: 
  • The proliferation of technology for everyday living can be seen through ChatGPT writing term papers or robots serving meals at a restaurant.
  • Technology can also be used towards less utilitarian ends.

Technology and policing

  • Footage from his body camera will provide evidence during the trial of his accused killers.
  • Police investigations have also been aided by private citizen sleuths via technology, who gather evidence to help police identify criminals.
  • Another use of technology can be for public surveillance for crime prevention through the application of facial recognition software.

Finding faces

  • Captured faces are compared to a database, often for the purposes of crime prevention.
  • Later, it was determined that Soika was misidentified by the artificial intelligence (AI) used by Canadian Tire for facial recognition.
  • In 2023, Canadian Tire Corporation and its dealers have since agreed to no longer use facial recognition technology.
  • Read more:
    AI technologies — like police facial recognition — discriminate against people of colour

Discrimination and AI

  • Facial recognition software is documented to misidentify women, racialized people and those between the ages of 18-30 years, with accuracy reduced to 35 per cent.
  • Police used AI that had run an image of a carjacker caught on video through a mugshot database that contained Woodruff’s photo, and incorrectly matched it.

Consequences of misidentification

  • The Canadian Registry of Wrongful Convictions finds approximately a third of their cases involved false identification.
  • People can show what is known as “own-race bias” when identifying faces; people are more accurate when identifying faces of their own race than other races.
  • The misidentification of a perpetrator — whether by a human or an AI program — can lead to the same consequences: being charged, prosecuted or wrongfully convicted.

The letter, published by the non-profit Future of Life Institute, has asked for all AI labs to stop training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, the model behind ChatGPT.

Key Points: 
  • The letter, published by the non-profit Future of Life Institute, has asked for all AI labs to stop training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, the model behind ChatGPT.
  • Longtermism is the belief that artificial intelligence poses long-term or existential risks to humanity’s future by becoming an out-of-control superintelligence.
  • AI fantasies are one of many fears in Silicon Valley that can lead to dark prophecies.
  • The open letter sees AI language technology like ChatGPT as a cognitive breakthrough — something that allows an AI to compete with humans at general tasks.
  • And when it comes to privacy matters, ChatGPT’s approach is hard to distinguish from another AI application, Clearview AI.
  • The letter follows an old dynamic that my co-author and I identify in a forthcoming peer-reviewed chapter about AI governance.
  • There is a tendency to view AI as either an existential risk or something mundane and technical.
  • These letters call for reforms and a more robust approach to AI governance to protect those being affected by it.
