Interesting question: “Can we sue an algorithm?”. The problem here is that with humans, the legal system probes the specific decision made in specific circumstances. With #AI, the legal system has to probe a thinking model. Condemning that condemns all its decisions. #LSEAI

Morning beautifully started with a private breakfast at the @Tate Britain to present the new Francis Bacon & Lucian Freud exhibition. Sponsoring @TateExchange is a privilege for Red Hat, but I can’t deny that walking in an almost empty world-class museum is an amazing perk.

Moral imperatives, and communication. https://t.co/V4CgyvYMz9

Wonderful question about #AI, human augmentation, and legal liability. A question that remains unanswered. I wish I had more to write on the topic for my side project @hplus (https://t.co/7m1GuT6S6F). That question will become more pressing in the next few years #LSEAI

We built a functional society on the basis that humans are only apparently predictable, can make mistakes, and decide thousands of times per day despite (often significant) doubts. But none of these flaws are acceptable for #AI, even if decisions get measurably better. #LSEAI

It’s also always entertaining to see how people complaining about the “black box” effect of #AI do so out of the firm belief that humans are more understandable in their behaviour. But that is just a cognitive delusion. #LSEAI

It’s fascinating to witness how professionals outside the tech sector perceive and speak about #AI. I need to do this more often #LSEAI

Nothing better than attending a thought-provoking lecture at the end of the working day: “With Artificial Intelligence overtaking human intelligence at driving cars and outplaying it at games, is the financial system next?” https://t.co/p7F18UyA57 See you there #LSEAI

Congrats @snyksec. I have been watching for a while and you are doing remarkable things > Snyk snares $7 million Series A to help developers deliver open source components securely https://t.co/c9FKr2ZwuP

Filing patent applications in both #AI and #security space. Who knew that working with lawyers could actually be fun?
