It's kind of like the Golder Rule but for AI. "Two questions I've started asking myself are these," writes George Veletsianos. "Would I be comfortable being on the receiving end of this? Would I want this for my loved ones, like my niece and nephew?" Call this, he says, the "Recipient Test." He then runs through a few examples. Unfortunately, his imagination is perhaps not so broad as mine. AI-generated income tax returns, for example, would make my day. Privacy? Hah! I grew up in a small town; privacy is for other people (usually rich people hiding their wrondoings). Automated assessment of skills and capabilities that doesn't take into account whether or not I went to Yale? Yes, that's for me. The only real place I wouldn't want AI is the same place I don't want any technology: when it's used by some money-grubbing corporation to take advantage of me. But they don't need AI for that.
