    This is where AI is going to go - professionals are going to be tapped into it to do their jobs. AI is much, much better at spotting things than we are. Let an AI tap into a detective’s vision and it’ll spot clues he’d otherwise glance over and ignore. It will also allow for much better oversight. It can be trained to spot suspicious behaviors in employees. Not to harp on a singular profession, but cops could be held, in real time, to a higher standard.

      It’s better at spotting patterns, but without knowing the why and how the machine arrived at its conclusions, I think it’s going to be fairly limited in application.

      Your detective example is just as likely to reveal our biases as it’s going to find a clue. It’s all in the training, and we can’t eliminate our own cultural biases. What’s the data set for suspicious behavior consist of? Who chooses it?

      There’s a ton of AI hype and it’s barely had any impact in actual real life despite billions of dollars invested. I’m still not convinced. It was very cool for a few weeks until the limitations became very obvious to me.
