    Even though we often (rightly) focus on our AI worries, this is evidence AI can also do society great good too.

      I disagree.

      Given the error rate of so-called “AI”, all 5 million of those documents must still be checked by a human for accuracy.

      It’d be far more efficient to simply pay people to do the work in the first place than to pay for “AI” to do the work and also paying people to check it.

        Humans will have to verify, of course. “AI” is just a really fast sort. This is fine for that with human annotators. Could have just saved a bunch of money by grepping the fucking text for keywords though.

        Surely highlighting 5 million out of 24 million is more efficient than checking them all?

            There are only so many historical synonyms for black people, racist language should be searchable with few false negatives

            false negatives

            I don’t get your logic here either. A false negative would have zero implications for anyone. It would have no legal standing or relevance.

              I don’t understand, in what way does allowing a racist deed covenant stand unchallenged have zero implications or relevance?

              If it did, then what would be the point of rooting them out in the first place?
