Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

      Extremes hate everything, so it doesn’t really matter what they think.

          Hey extreme lefty here, I just want healthcare, cheap housing, and to be left the fuck alone. Sure killing a few billionares and sending prosperity preachers to the coldest pit of Hel would be fun and all but I just want to do my own thing and not have to deal with rich cunts trying to exploit my labor. Is that too much to ask?

            I don’t think that’s extreme lefty. Extreme would be those people wanting to replace capitalism, make everything government controlled, and be just as authoritarian and anti-democratic as the right already are.

              I also wish to replace capitalism, with a mix of co-ops and syndicats. Maybe with some carved out exceptions for bussinesses that require say seasonal workers but dont reuire many workers for most of the year.

              I also want to burn down prosperity churches and commit the blood eagle on billionaires. I am an extremist, I just happen to be pragmatic and realistic enough to know what I can realistically get. Tankies are just fascists with a red coat of paint.

                I don’t see how any of that works at scale but ok.

        A lot of my leftist friends will still let the bad be the enemy of any sort of good whatsoever it seems. It’s exhausting as a leftist when you can never be outraged enough for other leftists.

          This i can sympathize with. I do not reach the violently inappropriate level of outrage cultivated and appreciated in this country.

      He did something: add national security loopholes

      The worst possible offenders aren’t really being reined in by this executive order.
