AI responsibility

The central principle of AI accountability should be simple: the people and institutions that create, release, deploy, and profit from AI systems should remain responsible for the foreseeable harms those systems cause.

I had something funny to tell you all, but that was yesterday  Think I can remember it now?  No. Maybe it is time to look at the shiny brochures.  So what is up in your neck of the woods? Nothing here other than the roads being busier at rush hour in the AM and afternoon with all the skewl busses and parents driving their kiddies to-and-fro, and university and college students rushing to make that first lecture of the day. Oh the good old days   Okay, call me STUPID, but I'm going to o
