I was seriously hoping that the title was poorly worded and a sheriff did not, in fact, murder a judge inside a courthouse. But what the actual fuck.

And we all know why that’s the case:

This isn’t a report, its just a statement that 85 percent of organizations think AI will cause job loss, along with other things like a new form of slavery and a war between AI and robots.

“According to US media, the post was made by a now-deleted account that regularly trolls the social media pages of the New York court system.”

Hopefully this is true and nothing comes of it.

“If the benefits do not meaningfully outweigh the risks, agencies should not use the AI,” the memo says. But the draft memo carves out an exemption for models that deal with national security and allows agencies to effectively issue themselves waivers if ending use of an AI model “would create an unacceptable impediment to critical agency operations.”

This tells me that nothing is going to change if people can just say their algoriths would make them too inefficient. Great sentiment but this loophole will make it useless.
