Poor doctors.....
Patient A: "Doctor, I have a skin rash and when I checked my skin it's giving me an error message."
Doctor: "And.....the error message is?"
Patient A: "Methylprednisolone ointment missing, please purchase some from your local chemist and apply to the affected area"
Doctor: "And....have you tried that?"
Patient A: "Can you explain in more detail?"
Patient B: "Doctor, it hurts to swallow and when I checked my throat it's giving me an error message."
Doctor: *sigh*

So there's still a glimmer of hope for politicians.

As we had not enough with corrupted politicians... now you want to add hacked politicians to the equation?  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hell, they're already hacked. What I want is debugged politicians, those that do the right thing more often than not.

debugged != error free (sadly learned on the bad way)

While that's certainly true, I'll take debugged things over non-debugged things any day.

For the first time since 2003, Microsoft is considering a point release for C#. Currently marked as C# 7.1, the next version of the language is expected to include Async Main, Default Expressions, Infer Tuple Names, and Pattern-matching with Generics. They're still updating that old thing?
|
|

|

That default think looks ugly, and I'm not seeing any good problem for it to solve.
OTOH it's been a year or two since the last time MS changed direction and decided to let C# and VB.net be their own things, so I suppose we're due for a wave of converge all the things no matter how bad an idea any particular convergence is.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The algorithms predicted patient mortality 69 percent of the time. If you let an AI "examine" your organs, I think you'll be dying soonish
Also, I think I saw this movie
|

Now AI want's to fondle us hu.... We'll that came sooner than I thought. 
|
|
|
|

When you factor in the selection bias (people who pay for a CT scan probably already suspect their health) and demographics (people do tend to die of other things) I think you get a less impressive result though.

Quote: an AI system that can tell if you're going to die
Just written one myself (I can't be arsed to put it on GitHub but here's the full source code):
return true;
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

It's all about the "patient data" and then the AI will prescribe "Morphine" for the patient and then you know what I mean...

He called for a “National Algorithm Safety Board,” similar to the US’s National Transportation Safety Board for vehicles, which would provide both ongoing and retroactive oversight for high-stakes algorithms. Because no one knows best about regulating AI than government regulators

Basically he wants to ban neural networks.. got it.

An "Inspector" would look at the code and just go.... hmm, don't get it"

Cars, banks and drugs - three areas where government oversight is not exactly a triumph.
More importantly though, AI will by definition be an international phenomenon so require an inter-governmental approach like the NNPT or the world bank. I really do not think there is sufficient political capital in the world to float a new regulatory regime at the moment.

His government doesn't believe in science anyway.

Because before anything can be deregulated, it must first be regulated.

So if a bank, for instance, wants to operate in America they have to give up proprietary algorithms to be overseen by that countries government? These are the same algorithms that are constantly being tuned by algos and strats and which are closely guarded secrets because they are designed to offer competitive advantage.
Sure, what could possibly go wrong?

The difference is just having to give them up instead of they taking them
