Joe Biden Wants US Government Algorithms Tested for Potential Harm Against Citizens (www.wired.com)

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.

Yea. But he doesn’t seem to have a vision. I don’t think corruption is great and bidenomics is just bullshit. I am not saying he is the worst ever just that it’s not very good.

I’m not sure what you’re looking for with a “vision.” Sounds like something a populist does and fails at. Biden has to fix all the shit Trump and the Republicans ruined and he won’t likely have time for a lot else. If he can get control of Congress next year by a good margin it’ll help.

To give you an example he might claim to want to curb the corruption by changing and limiting donations to political candidates/organizations. The populist vapid version of this would be something vague but catchy like “drain the swamp” that can mean anything.

The President doesn’t have the power to do that.

Ok if you could not understand that was an example I think Im good with my current opinion.

I’d expect when talking about a specific person’s vision, you’d give an example of something that specific person can do.

Id expect that people that can’t differentiate between demagoguery and vision to stay on topic when given an example instead of responding that the president can’t do so.

What are you even talking about? You want him to make speeches telling you what you want to hear even if he has no power to do it?

[–] 5BC2E7@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

At least you remain consistent with your responses. have a nice day.
