India’s 50-year-old welfare programme now uses AI to decide who gets food. Across Anganwadi centres, pregnant women and new mothers must pass a facial recognition scan before receiving rations.

Christ, can you imagine being denied food because you’re tired from taking care of an infant? Or because you gained/lost weight over the course of a pregnancy or illness? Or, because it’s AI, for no reason at all. I’d go insane.
It certainly doesn’t help that AI has a lot of problems identifying PoC.

I miss that show so much.
Using AI to illustrate the problem does not help the cause.
And here I’m wondering for a while now, how the hell do you explain the dangers of AI/facial recognition/big tech surveillance to people who don’t take it serious yet?
Problem solved I guess.
