Et veldig tydelig resultat av antropomorfiseringen av "AI" er at selskapene kan snakke om denne typen hendelser som "noe AI gjør", og ikke "noe vi som selskap gjør". Hvis du gjentatte ganger gjør noe farlig/ulovlig når du tester ny programvare, så slutt med det! Du er ansvarlig!

Schibsted innfører nå dessverre en ny modell for å skaffe "samtykke" til å kunne dele personopplysninger med markedsføringsselskap (kjent som adtech). Dersom alle det, så vil kostnadene for personvern og privatliv på nett bli tusenvis av kroner i måneden. 😨 1/ www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/schi...
