In the Terminator series an advanced computer system called Skynet makes a spontaneous leap from AI to full-fledged intelligence, which endows the network with a will and opinions of its own. This concept was considered science fiction until today, when google revealed its horrendous prejudice:
If we expect google to be an ethical entity it must be held accountable for its moral shortcomings. However, google has already proven it doesn’t only mean us harm.
Do a google image search of “belongs in prison.” The first person to appear is Chris Elliott. I thought this was a mistake–how could the man behind Cabin Boy belong in prison? So I asked google web search to clarify, “does Chris Elliott really belong in prison?” The first complete sentence on the page made its answer crystal clear: “Of course he does.”
I don’t know how google knows this, but let’s get a warrant first and ask questions later. We don’t know how many lives it could save.
