It Was Never Intelligence. That Was the Point.

from In Memory of Man Podcast - Robot Crime Blog · host robot crime blog

 The word “intelligence” was never neutral. It was the sales pitch.This episode argues that the systems sold as artificial intelligence are not minds, thinkers, or neutral judges. They are privately owned prediction and sorting machines trained on human data, wrapped in language that makes people trust them, defer to them, and surrender power without asking who owns the system, who profits from it, or who answers when it is wrong.Name the machine correctly before it names you.
