“Sadly, no, because AI has a hard time going into the different layers of the state websites, and maybe this will get better. We found that it was not terribly helpful. So AI was actually initially a guy called Dominic sitting in a room figuring out what laws had been enacted. Now it's a little bit more informed by AI, but it's not entirely populated by AI, sadly.” — Shannon Yavorsky, Software Engineering Daily

“A radiologist who examines x-rays and gets a second opinion from the AI when the AI disagrees is doing their job at a higher degree of fidelity, and that stops people from dying of cancer. Versus the radiologist who sees nine-tenths of their colleagues fired and who then has to review 100 times as many x-rays that the AI has vetted and says are cancer-free. If the AI is wrong 3% of the time, they're probably going to miss all of it and then people are going to die. … That's the social arrangement of the machine, not the technical capabilities of it.” — Cory Doctorow, Software Engineering Daily
