@jacob that depends: does the software implementing the "AI" give the user the 4 essential software freedoms? If no, then no, it's not ethical. If yes does it give the 11 freedoms specific to AI software specifically? If no, then probably no. https://elevenfreedoms.org/

  Is it ethical to use AI in the public sector? I think so — but only in certain ways. I have two positions: 1. Predicting outcomes is snake oil — and even if it weren’t, it's based on deeply biased training data, and would still be unethical. 2. Using AI in ways that are _assistive_ — helping humans be more accurate or efficient — is ethical in public use-cases; fully-automated systems that replace human judgement isn’t.

  @jacob
  
  Software that does not give the user the 4 essential freedoms is fundamentally unethical and has and whoever puts it in a classroom as anything other than something to show students how to avoid/bypass should be considered as engaging in a criminal act.
  
  The FSF has plenty to say about ethics of software use what crack are you on.

  @jeffcliff I super don’t agree that the FSF has any right to say anything about ethics generally, and I also specifically disagree that the Four Freedoms have any relevancy here whatsoever

  @jacob thinking more about this, since you've got a github account there's no way you're worth even the time I spent responding. You're going right to mute.
