A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is that not the first step toward providing aid? Would you rather the AI simply issue a prescription or something?
Anyway, as I said, I'm not saying this is how it goes. I'm just presenting a view that's non-dystopian, as was explicitly asked for. The AI could easily be operating under rules that would prevent it from telling anyone else of the trouble it had detected until you give it permission, if that would satisfy your privacy concerns.
I'd rather not have an "AI" invade my privacy in general.
What? That's not how those "AIs" work at all. lol
I'm not talking about any specific currently-existing AI, I'm talking about a hypothetical one. It is indeed possible to set up an AI in such a way that it wouldn't tell anyone else what's going on. It's just a computer program, it can be set up however one wants it to be set up.
