Chapter 4. What about responsibility?
If a self-learning AI programme for health tells people to eat a certain food -- and 200 of them die -- who is responsible? A bot can't be put on trial, sued, or jailed. Neither can the "owner" of the bot, nor the engineers who created it (self-learning!).
If nobody is responsible, where will there be justice? Or is responsibility not an idea we'll be able to apply to AI?

Chapter 3. If people think and act as if AI is a train barrelling down us and we can't help but get run over -- that's what will happen. If we realise that the digital revolution is steerable through the creation/enforcement of legal frameworks, then we can make sure AI is implemented where it will help most and hurt least. Without that understanding...SPLAT.

A German political treatise on what value "work" has in today's society and looking forward to the repercussions of the -- happening far more slowly than planned -- cyberworld of AI and online/gig work. Right in my wheelhouse!

Ian, that crazy, wild. The company, Waymo says" driverless cars are safer than people driven ones". :)

It was bi..."I looked that vid up. The one I saw it in was a part of a short news item. Thanks for telling me about it!
The reason given for the car messing up was that road construction signs were "confusing" to it. Uh oh. If we expect road crews to put up signage that makes sense to AI when it hardly makes sense to people, were in trouble! 😂
But the personal tales of a guy who had seen a number of accidents & near accidents at the same intersection was interesting, as was the fact that the police there got special training on how to deal with driverless cars causing problems!!
And yes, that's exactly what the author of this book was pointing at. Currently, because it's in the test phase, the company could be liable for accidents, but not once it's out and independent of them.



If you haven't seen the video there are multiple copies circulating online.
