@jab01701mid @jmaris Applying "statistical classification" to real-world things that impact people's rights and livelihoods absolutely is something that should be subject to regulation, and when it's marketed as the machine being intelligent enough to be able to do this in reasonable and just ways and laundering responsibility off the humans who should be responsible for the choices being made, it is part of the deception that is "AI".
But there is also a lot of ML/CV stuff that's not like this. When you equate them under the banner of "AI", you let these legitimate things that predate the current "AI" deception cycle prop up a false legitimacy for "AI", and you're going to get them all dragged down with it when the bubble finishes collapsing.
