"At root, agency laundering involves obfuscating one’s moral responsibility by enlisting a technology or process to take some action and letting it forestall others from demanding an account for bad outcomes that result." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Agency Laundering and Information Technologies Published: 24 October 2019 Volume 22, pages 1017–1041 (2019) Cite this article Access provided by Universiteit van Amsterdam University of Amsterdam Download PDF Save article Ethical Theory and Moral Practice Aims and scope Submit manuscript Alan Rubel, Clinton Castro & Adam Pham 2758 Accesses 45 Citations 15 Altmetric 1 Mention Explore all metrics Abstract When agents insert technological systems into their decision-making processes, they can obscure moral responsibility for the results. This can give rise to a distinct moral wrong, which we call “agency laundering.” At root, agency laundering involves obfuscating one’s moral responsibility by enlisting a technology or process to take some action and letting it forestall others from demanding an account for bad outcomes that result. We argue that the concept of agency laundering helps in understanding important moral problems in a number of recent cases involving automated, or algorithmic, decision-systems. We apply our conception of agency laundering to a series of examples, including Facebook’s automated advertising suggestions, Uber’s driver interfaces, algorithmic evaluation of K-12 teachers, and risk assessment in criminal sentencing. We distinguish agency laundering from several other critiques of information technology, including the so-called “responsibility gap,” “bias laundering,” and masking.

Een drone die zonder aansturing van een mens een doelwit uitkiest en aanvalt. Zorgen om de inzet van door AI aangestuurde drones bestaan al langer, maar nu is er voor het eerst een geval gedocumenteerd waarbij ook burgerslachtoffers zijn gevallen.

#AI #LLM Something I've not seen commented on is the explosion of bot-impeding pages (e.g., via Cloudflare) that now appear before web pages load. The cumulative time waste for human users has got to be in the billions of person-hours. An immense burden imposed on everyone by the AI-bro assholes.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

Als je door de TdF Femmes ook in Zwitserland wil fietsen rondom Lausanne: de klim / afdaling van Cully naar Chexbres (Route de la Corniche) is 1 van de mooiste en fijnste Ik heb alleen maar Facebook-era foto’s uit 2013/2014
