It seems fairly obvious to anyone in London that recorded
announcements are frequently triggered by events on the
platform. Someone walks too close to the platform edge; "Please stand behind the
yellow line at all times!" Someone lights-up or vapes; "All stations are non-smoking areas!" --- and so on. These are probably done by humans watching the cameras and just lazily
pressing the corresponding announcement button. But one gave me real
cause for concern, and it seemed obvious that "AI" was involved; A woman was pushing someone in a wheelchair, and left their disabled
friend for a moment to look at a map on the wall. "Please do not leave luggage unattended at any time!" "Please do not leave luggage unattended at any time!" The message kept repeating until the woman walked back over to the
wheelchair. I hoped the person in the wheelchair was also deaf,
because what could be more dehumanising than being wrongly labelled as
"luggage" by a machine. |
