Nikita Malik, Forbes; We Need To Examine The Ethics And Governance Of Artificial Intelligence
"Who determines whether this technology can save lives, for example, versus the very real risk of veering into an Orwellian dystopia?
Take artificial intelligence systems that have the ability to predicate a crime based on an individual’s history, and their propensity to do harm. Pennsylvania could be one of the first states in the United States to base criminal sentences not just on the crimes people are convicted of, but also on whether they are deemed likely to commit additional crimes in the future. Statistically derived risk assessments – based on factors such as age, criminal record, and employment, will help judges determine which sentences to give. This would help reduce the cost of, and burden on, the prison system.
Risk assessments – which have existed for a long time - have been used in other areas such as the prevention of terrorism and child sexual exploitation."
