UK is going full Minority Report with 'murder prediction' research
The Guardian reported that the UK's Ministry of Justice has been developing an algorithm designed to identify people who could become killers. Initially dubbed the "homicide prediction project," this tool used data from UK police forces, possibly including victims and witnesses as well as suspects. Civil liberty watchdog Statewatch discovered the program through Freedom of Information Act requests. Based on the documents acquired by the group, Statewatch claimed that the program developed its prediction tool based on police data about between 100,000 and 500,000 people. Different categories of information shared with the Ministry of Justice appeared to also cover sensitive topics such as mental health, addiction, suicide and disability.

'Bad idea': Conservatives warn red state data center bill will derail Trump's vision of energy 'golden age'
Yurts founder and CEO Ben Van Roo breaks down concerns over DeepSeek on The Will Cain Show. Conservatives on social media and in the public square are increasingly speaking out about a bill being mulled in the Texas legislature they say threatens President Donald Trump's goal of ushering in a "golden age" of American energy and AI dominance. Some conservatives are rebelling over a proposal in the Texas Senate that will give the state broad authority to control new data centers in the state. SB6, or "the data center bill," caused an online ruckus recently, with conservative opposition to the bill gaining momentum, arguing that the bill, should it pass, will impose a major roadblock to the Trump administration's "Golden Age" of American energy production. Texas, long believed to be an ideal location for the AI fueling data centers, is a major location for President Trump's multibillion-dollar Stargate plan and is considered a finalist for numerous other multibillion-dollar projects and investments over the next decade.
Why creating an international body for AI is a bad idea
Jessica Melugin, Competitive Enterprise Institute Director of Center for Technology and Innovation, discusses Twitter accusing Meta of stealing trade secrets and a New York City law requiring businesses to audit A.I. hiring tools. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently re-upped his calls for a global body, akin to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to advise member nations on regulating artificial intelligence (AI). Schmidt first made his case for an "International Panel on AI Safety" – an "IPCC for AI," if you will – in an October 2023 op-ed in the Financial Times. He writes of the AI panel's potential to be an, "an independent, expert-led body empowered to objectively inform governments about the current state of AI capabilities and make evidence-based predictions." He claims that AI policy makers, "are looking for impartial, technically reliable and timely assessments about its speed of progress and impact."

Stopping ChatGPT Development Is a 'Bad Idea': Coinbase CEO
While some prominent voices in the tech industry are calling for a temporary pause in ChatGPT's upgrades, the CEO of America's largest crypto exchange Coinbase made it clear he opposes the move. "Count me among the people who think this is a bad idea," Brian Armstrong wrote in a recent tweet. "There are no'experts' to adjudicate this issue, and many disparate actors will never agree. Committees and bureaucracy won't solve anything." Armstrong's comments came shortly after the publication of an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on developing artificial intelligence (AI) more powerful than GPT-4, the latest iteration of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot created by OpenAI.

AI-Created Movies Are a Bad Idea
Mankind's technological advancements have been developing at such breakneck speeds that we often take for granted how they have made our lives easier. One of the most interesting results of human brainpower is the machine-like replication of itself: artificial intelligence. AI is already present in our daily tasks, from search engines, algorithms, virtual assistant technology, and the like. However, there seems to be budding movements in applying AI technologies to the cultural productions, with some already venturing into anime and art. Should this prove successful both commercially and critically, it is only inevitable that this AI movement would permeate the cultural zeitgeist of other media, and one that is of great interest is the medium of film.

Drones in cities are a bad idea
It's year five, or maybe ten, of "drones are going to revolutionize transport" and so far, we've got very little to show for it. Maybe it's time to put these foolish ambitions to rest and focus on where this technology could actually do some good, rather than pad out a billionaire's bottom line or let the rich skip traffic. The promise of drone deliveries, drone taxis, and personal drone attendants has never sat, or rather floated, right with me. There's so little to be gained, while braving so much liability and danger, and necessitating so much invention and testing. Why is anyone even pursuing this? I suspect it is the Jetsons-esque technotopianism instilled in so many of us from birth: It's only a matter of time and effort before we have the flying cars, subliminal learning pillows, and robot housekeepers we deserve, right?

Why Resume Ranking is a Bad Idea?
"Recruiters take 6-seconds on average to read your resume." Though it may not be exactly true, it does manifest the challenge of effective evaluation of candidates. Amazon used a resume ranking system in 2014 to rank top candidates in order to automate the hiring process, until they found out that the engine did not like women. But by 2015, the company realized its new system was not rating candidates for software developer jobs and other technical posts in a gender-neutral way. To understand the problem, we'll cover the baseline of how the model works and dive deeper into what can go wrong and why.
Women negative to artificial intelligence
When it comes to the use of face recognition by police, 31% of women are not certain whether it is a good or bad idea, compared with 22% of men. Women are more likely to support the inclusion of a wider variety of groups in AI design. Women are also more likely to say it is important that different racial and ethnic groups are included in the same AI design process (71% vs. 63%). Additionally, women are more doubtful than men that it is possible to design AI computer programs that can consistently make fair decisions in complex situations. Only around two-in-ten women (22%) think it is possible to design AI programs that can consistently make fair decisions, while a larger share of men (38%) say the same.

U.S. women more concerned than men about some AI developments, especially driverless cars
Women in the United States are more skeptical than men about some uses of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly the possible widespread use of driverless passenger vehicles, according to a new analysis of Pew Research Center survey data collected in November 2021. The analysis also finds gender differences in views about the overall impact that technology has on society and some safety issues tied to AI applications, as well as the importance of including different groups in the AI design process. Pew Research Center conducted this study to understand gender differences in Americans' views about artificial intelligence and human enhancement technologies. For this analysis, we surveyed 10,260 U.S. adults from Nov. 1-7, 2021. Everyone who took part in the survey is a member of the Center's American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses.
