@CatherineFlick Even as decision support it can be very dangerous, as it may very well give the impression of 'objectivity' to fundamentally social and subjective metrics.

  AI should be a decision support system, not an autonomous one. We’ve seen time and time again how it doesn’t “think”, it just optimises for the end goal. Anthropomorphising it is dangerous because it lulls us into thinking it can imitate human decision making. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/01/us-military-drone-ai-killed-operator-simulated-test
