Girl dies from abuse after AI system computed she was likely safe
From FoxNews:
Japanese police have admitted that they allowed artificial intelligence (AI) to influence their decision not to provide protective custody to a child who later died in her mother’s care.
"The AI figures are only for reference," Mie Prefecture Gov. Katsuyuki Ichimi said at a press conference on Tuesday, stressing the importance of the judgment of those in charge.
"We are not in a position to draw a conclusion whether the method of utilizing this data used this time was 100% good," indicating he intended to refer the matter to a third-party committee consisting of outside experts to determine further use of the system, Japanese outlet Jiji reported.
Police considered the case of a 4-year-old girl in the city of Tsu, running it through an AI program introduced in 2020 and trained with the data of 6,000 to 13,000 cases. Officials hoped the program could help reduce the burden on child consultation centers, which serve as the country’s equivalent to child protective services.
