      Depressing tldr:

      This quote sums it up best.

      “Employing a broad definition of AI, this report represents the first known effort to comprehensively explain and quantify the reach of AI-based decision-making among low-income people in the United States. It establishes that essentially all 92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI. ”

      It goes on to list about 10 categories of low income Americans. Each group was in the millions. 73 million medicaid/Medicaid recipients had some aspect of their care decided by AI.

      Given the prevalence of ATS in resume scanning, I’d wager that even middle-class people who have been on the job hunt in the last decade have had their lives decided by some algorithm.

      The real question is it really better to have a human, sometimes biased, sometimes under qualified to make any of these decisions?

      I’ve been contacted by so many recruiters who know absolutely nothing about the job or field that they’re hiring for and what to look for.

      I think an AI would be better than at least some of these recruiters.

      >As such, now is a critical moment to take stock and correct course before AI of any level of technical sophistication becomes entrenched as a legitimate way to make key decisions about the people society marginalizes.

      It already is. The algorithm decides all media content, all press coverage, most rent prices and whether or not you can get a credit card. Algorhtimic stock trading is not just the norm, but required for anyone investing money now. Middle America’s wealth is gone, the middle class is rapidly shrinking, and we are rapidly approaching a major economic crisis that won’t allow the present system to continue. Trump will be President when major decisions will have to be made, he will screw it all up, and it’ll be up to individual states to compartmentalize the damage.

      But even then why would rich liberals care about prohibiting AI from slowing down their tech stock gains or airbnb rents? These people profit from the system and they won’t ever fight it until it literally stops working, just like in the 1930s.

      This isn’t really a research paper, moreso a word salad of highly emotionally charged phrases, most claims of harm are unfounded in any evidence. Its major conclusions are about how many people are influenced by AI decision making, which is an uninterestingly moot point to make. Like it or not, some kind of algorithm drives almost every part of our lives — safety systems, decision making, scheduling, logistics, welfare. Typically these systems are replaced because they perform better than the equivalent human systems, as evaluated by humans. Whether AI decision making is better or worse, for example, to grant or deny people medical claims is up in the air. Would you prefer the biases of humans who are inherently discriminatory?

      The healthcare and basic welfare systems are pretty screwed up as is, and human decision making has factored into that for almost all of it.
