To govern AI, we might need to use AI

Our lives are ruled by data. Not just because it informs companies of what we want, but because it helps us to remember and differentiate what we want, what we need, and what we can ignore. All these decisions give way to patterns, and patterns, when aggregated, give us a picture of ourselves. A world where such patterns follow us, or even are sent ahead of us -- to restaurants to let them know if we have allergies, to retail stores to let them know our preferred clothing size --is now so feasible that labeling it science fiction would expose a lack of awareness more than a lack of imagination.
