What is fairness but political accountability? There is an old joke about how people use statistics like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support and not for illumination. Given this, we can expect people to use AI like everything else in statistics, to support the agenda of whoever is operating it while defraying negative personal accountability for the results, because artificial intelligence. It's just an obfuscated and sophisticated version of, "Computer says no." The alternative is the near future headline, "AI confirms racists, sexists, on to something." |

This is pretty much the only important concept for figuring out how we will use this tech politically.
Because it takes genius-level intelligence to be able to figure out whether you're just telling yourself what you want to hear, and incredibly rare responsibility to remember to [keep on trying to] do so, individuals and tiny groups may be able to use AI for these sorts of things, but large groups, municipalities, states, corps, etc. never will.
The systems we can understand and manage as a group are vastly simpler than those which you can understand and manage as an individual.
