Again, weapons without human in the loop needs to be against the Geneva convention, yesterday. Or articles of war , something. This is a tractable problem, that needs attention, now, It will not end well and can actually be (mostly, by honorable armies) fixed.

Geneva convention can only be applied on the nations who are coincidentally, not going around breaking them willy-nilly.

I asked computer if I should read the article, it said no. Am I in an abusive relationship?

That is ridiculous, clearly. I’ll use mainstream search engine, tailor made to my needs, to make sure it cannot happen

Well, I might get disliked for this opinion, but in some cases it's perfectly fine for a computer to make a management decision. However, this should also mean that the person in charge of said computer, or the one putting the decision by the computer into actual action, should be the one that gets held responsible. There's also the thing where it should be questioned how responsible it is to even consider the management decisions of a computer in a specific field. What I'm saying is that there's no black and white answer here.

Then regular humans & local/personal AIs will be held accountable for still living.

Wait, what's the change when Skynet goes online again?

You are essentially saying
"Management is essential, replace the common work force with AI"

Well...If I get fired, I will hold you accountable!

I've thought about this wrt to AI and work. Every time I sit in a post mortem it's about human errors and process fixes.

The day a post mortem ends with "well the AI did it so nothing we can do" is the day I look towards.. with dread.
