Polygraph+ will use new sensor technologies and AI to vet staff and hunt leakers. Experts say AI-enabled lie detection is “the worst of both worlds.”

I feel this is probably quite important information. You wouldn't want to get it wrong.
Split-panel photographic meme showing actor Matt Damon inside holding a phone on the left and a person gently holding a baby otter named Steve on the right.  
Text on the left panel reads “Otter” and text on the right panel reads “Matt Damon.”

AI has too many military and control aspects for governments to control it. It's a great source of government finance (fleecing the taxpayer) for the techies & co. Politicians love it. The fors or againsts. The rest of us are just "colateral" damage.

The right say (and then often do) something outrageous. They know it'll bring free publicity. People lap up the outrage. Like fascination with crime novels. Reinforce the good stories... Doesn't sell?
