Human Rights, Robot Wrongs: A Manifesto for Humanity in the Age of AI
Human Rights, Robot Wrongs: A Manifesto for Humanity in the Age of AI | Susie Alegre
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A highly topical manifesto about what it means to be human in the age of AI by a leading barrister. No longer an uncertain technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence is starting to shape every aspect of our daily lives, from how we think to who we love. In this urgent polemic, leading barrister Susie Alegre explores the ways in which artificial intelligence threatens our fundamental human rights - including the rights to life, liberty and fair trial; the right to private and family life; and the right to free expression - and how we protect those rights. Touching on the many profound ethical dilemmas posed by emerging technologies, and full of fascinating case studies, Human Rights, Robot Wrongs is a rallying cry for humanity in the age of AI.

Human Rights, Robot Wrongs: A Manifesto for Humanity in the Age of AI | Susie Alegre

Recent research however, shows that Al tools get the law wrong between 69 and 88 per cent of the time, producing legal hallucinations when asked 'specific, verifiable questions about random federal court Cases.

A human lawyer or judge with that kind of error rate would undermine public faith in justice.

Finding this book terrifying.

TrishB Someone in work doing a massive amount of work on this. It is frightening. 6mo
charl08 @TrishB reason for my reading was how much it comes up at work. Reading the book makes me realise why! 6mo

James Wright... who has spent years studying Japan's fixation with care robots, found that government enthusiasm was not met with real- world appetite. In a 2019 study of 9,000 care homes, 10 per cent reported having used care robots...

Wright noted that even those care homes that had invested in care robots only used them for a short time before retiring them. The range of robotic landfill is astonishing.

Bookwomble It's almost as if human beings prefer and respond better to being cared for by other human beings rather than by corporate money-saving tech solutions! Go figure! 🫠 6mo
charl08 @Bookwomble according to the author the robots can't safely do the care - she gives an eg of one robot that despite lots of publicity was never even cleared to leave the lab! 6mo

If you lift your head from the eye- watering amounts of money being pumped into AI innovation, you can see that there is already meaningful harm caused by the use of AI and related technology.

Maybe the people profiting from it are not the right people to identify the problems or to ask for solutions.
