The San Francisco Police Department may soon be able to utilize potentially lethal remote-controlled robots after the city's supervisors voted Tuesday, 8-3, to enable the use of robots fitted with explosives by the police department in emergency scenarios.
An SFPD spokeswoman stated that this contactless defense will only be used in dire circumstances to prevent the loss of other innocent life. Those rivals are not from a dismal future. The phrase "threat to civil freedoms" describes this activity. The proposed laws do not specify how the weapons can and cannot be mounted, but San Francisco police tried to explain that robots would not be armed with guns. They worry that this could result in an increase in police militarization, especially targeting poor and minority neighborhoods. It's not like science fiction has always given us examples to follow.
Robots rebelling against their human employers There must be a black mirror, I think. This is covered in a number of Black episodes. The Terminator appears in the mirror episodes. The Matrix is there. Dune is one thing, but then there's At iRobot, there are probably a lot more.
There is the video game Mega Man. You are in charge. The issue, however, is that I'm ready to spew something. Aware that you are prepared for this?
In the event that robots Have the police department improved?
It is, indeed. However, compared to other law enforcement, the police are less racist. I understand, so yes. The fact that technology has been programmed with racial bias is one of the problems that come to mind when thinking about this. We are aware that we have the ability to transmute this without intending to, so one instance involved all of these cameras, which were created in Asia and had difficulty identifying people because, as you may know, black people, favor darker skin tones. Alternatively, we have oximeters, which can detect your blood type.
In order to determine whether to visit the hospital, people often used devices that monitored the amount of oxygen in their circulation. Research on these devices revealed that they essentially work by shining a laser into your hand, and darker skin gave lower results. erroneous oxygen reading, so like a greater oxygen level, or I think this portion in any way you see fit.
Would be to prevent you from going to the hospital when you ought to and put those with darker skin at risk, thus I believe there was another face. Due to the fact that Asian eyes weren't recognized by the reader app, Asian individuals struggled to use them. I'm not very certain because these features are incorporated into apps, but given how frequently the Police have made mistakes, it is entirely likely that robots might have better judgment. However, these devices are ultimately controlled by people.
The problem we've seen recently is stories of the Tesla tearing through and bumping into things on the street, picking people off, moped writers, and things like that.
The current state of human aggression is By the way, this year is a record year for police killings that have been egregiously underreported. I apologize, but I feel like all of that is focused on the fact that we have the. It is clear that cops are needed. Despite doing risky work, there is a perception that they shouldn't be exposed to it. police officers say, "Well, I'm in the line," in reference to any such risk. Firefighting is an aspect of the work, but other jobs: firemen have Other mental health conditions.
What types of activities do responders perform?
Settings that are challenging and dangerous yet without militarization equipment or other tools might hinder their ability to perform their work. The police are at odds with the idea that there cannot be an I'm permitted to shoot, so scratch me because they have alternative strategies for dealing with the hurt. Call me if you think I'm in danger. and it is what leads to this escalation. that eventually leads to, uh, the robot.
That hair trigger is not permitted for you, is it?
Able to retaliate against the robot. Initially, it will say something like, "Citizen, I'm trying to help you or whatever," before gradually turning bitter. This bitterness is inscribed in its DNA, and it will then rise. I am aware that you saw Andor.
You witnessed the event leading up to his imprisonment in JailBase. I'm lagging by one episode. I believe I already know there will be a jail, spoilers. I'm dying to chat about Andor. But before I do that, I want to talk about algorithm-based sentencing kind. Some individuals have been interested in using robot technology and similar science to forecast your likelihood of reoffending. and influencing your statement, and you might think about how that might be beneficial.
For example, the algorithm might indicate that there is statistically little risk to anyone you know if you are a 50-year-old lady serving time in prison for a non-violent drug-related offense. Could immediate release have a bad effect on everyone in the world? We would cease abusing it. Please be released, taxpayer resources.
So it's clear why that would be a smart move. You can also see that it would be unwise for me to assert that, well, whether you are or will be sentenced is not to release prisoners early, but rather that the possibility of your knowledge of your guilt or innocence depends on your demographic traits and your age. They may comment on your race, gender, etc. Well, those that resemble you like you.
Who fits the bill for you?
Who are birthed Where you make you incredibly vulnerable. You are being imprisoned to prevent any additional violence until the figures Calculate anything with confidence, and you'll be able to see how I'm threatening you after you've been through this, but the Center dancing regulations were necessary, and people believed that the three strike rule and other regulations of that nature were unnecessarily harsh.
And once more, because people design the inputs, I'm not particularly optimistic that it will produce positive outcomes; we already know the statistics showing that people, regardless of gender, have a significantly lower likelihood of reoffending as they get older, which prevents us from giving people life. 80-year sentences, other countries, and extensive scanning may reveal people in those nations. spend nine years in jail for murder and the reason for this is that there is a kind of awareness that your recidivism rate was once pretty low.
Like 45, you're 55. All the males in these streets who are violent are between the ages of 15 and 30; you won't be here in these streets the same way. You mentioned that you liked Minority Report, therefore I'll assume that you approve of some of the things that were in the movie. Simply maintain the demography that you represent. Combining Minority Report with Minority Report It goes without saying that you would if you had that technology to anticipate crime.
Although Minority Report isn't present, you would use it
When they stop the people they like, things go entirely off the rails. Why not just use technology to stop the crime and then, like, don't do it even if you are not punishing the person, or you would like they don't even give them their due? put them in a permanent coma for some reason that makes no sense.
Once they stop, they simply Even if it didn't mean you would, you would utilize technology to stop the crime even though that aspect of it doesn't make sense. Split hairs cover my airport of nerds. is not where I anticipated the day to be. Typically, everyone scans. The largest police force in the nation also has some alarming I have no idea how you anticipated this day ending, but the New York Police Department has joined the Ring neighborhood app, which is owned by Amazon, in an effort to enlist the assistance of locals in their investigations.
Catch-22s abound in this situation. You didn't want it to capture you; you just wanted to capture what you were after. everything else, and after discussing how this works, they are sending out camera offer after camera offer. Comparable to America's Funniest Home Videos There are certainly occasions when you know the offenders have been caught and accountability has been proven, whether it be for home videos or events that happen on your porch. due to a person who was caught on one of the many amusing rain cameras that exist.
We all understand that children getting into mischief and dogs and deer in the front yard getting into mischief but in situations like this where you allow unlimited access and these corporations to use the information they want you to use the information for, you are simultaneously opening yourself up to all kinds of civil liberties violations. The public needs to be very aware of what they're giving up in exchange for some marginal benefits.
However, don't you think things are becoming worse?
There's no way this is just like, "Let's all choose this at once!" We're going to have the technology that makes it possible, so it's not like the Genie going back to the bottle or Pandora going back to your box or whatever your magical and mythological entity going into some container unit.
Though I believe even if you have a green camera, it's comparable to the permissions and access. Not necessarily the Your video content is fair use by default. correct, and that is where we are now. We've had a lot of revelations about what these click-through agreements apps can do, and we learn that we've given up all of our information for uses that we never intended to target us for advertising, but God forbid, we end up being targeted for being under the scrutiny of the criminal justice system. It's a lot to take in, so I do hope that people continue to monitor and be aware of these things. These are the tales that we shall tell.
