Openai e UK firmano un accordo per utilizzare l’IA nei servizi pubblici

>The agreement signed by the firm and the science department could give OpenAI access to government data

Don’t forget this comes on top of the government’s spat with Apple over backdoor user-data access as well as ID requirements for NSFW content – This is a worrying direction.

🤦‍♀️ This push towards AI in everything isn’t going to make services worse at all! /s

There are too many people that think AI can entirely replace employees when in reality the service gets worse because computers/AI, while useful, still need human interaction.

It’s only as good as the person who programmed it and no one person knows everything.

Introducing this to public services is a terrible idea. OpenAI suck as a company, they have zero transparency and they don’t care about stealing data. Their public tool, ChatGPT, is also a sycophantic pile of shit that will attempt to stroke your ego over providing objective answers to your questions, even with prompts, it always leans towards being nice over being correct, and it’s often confidently and catastrophically incorrect. I’m a software engineer, we use AI tooling at work, in order to use it effectively you already need to be a subject matter expert in the field you’re asking it about in order to understand when it’s wrong.

So who’s going to be accountable when the AI totally screws up? We need legal safeguards, put in place, that clearly state which human will be culpable when their AI totally screws up and destroys an innocent person’s life. It will happen!
It will happen a lot and “Oh it’s the AI so there’s nothing we can do” is NOT an acceptable response!

Like any computerised system, AI is only as good as the information that it’s given.
We’ll have fewer, overworked, staff trying to deal with thousands of people desperately trying to talk to a human being to rectify the inevitable errors.
Anyone who thinks that AI is some miracle answer is deluded, at best, downright dangerous, at worst.
