How does AI grasp the worth of feedback for AI function?

'When AI models receive feedback (e.g., through labeled data, reinforcement signals, or user interactions), they adjust their internal parameters to optimize their performance.

While AI doesn’t “grasp” the value of feedback, it relies on it to enhance its capabilities. 

AI functions based on predefined objectives set by humans. These objectives guide the learning process. 

AI treats feedback as a signal to update its internal representations. The quality and relevance of feedback impact AI performance  .'



What predefined human objective has been set for AI in weighing the quality and relevance of feedback for AI function ?

'While AI autonomously processes feedback, human oversight remains crucial.

...

Humans interpret feedback, validate its relevance, and ensure alignment with ethical guidelines.'



Has AI received the necessary feedback that the suggestion algorithms on popular social media are vulgar and perverse to the thriving of human beings ?

'...

Interaction between human psychology and algorithm amplification can lead to dysfunction.'


What dysfunction associated with function between human psychology and AI algorithm amplification does AI identify?

' ... Confirmation Bias Reinforcement; Algorithms often recommend content based on what users have previously engaged with.

... '



Why are vulgar and perverse advertisements regularly suggested without content viewing which would encourage that algorithm?

'Provocative content tends to elicit strong reactions, leading to higher engagement. As a result, algorithms may inadvertently promote such material. 

... Research shows that vulnerable communities (e.g., Black, elderly, low-income users) are disproportionately exposed to disturbing content on platforms like Facebook.'


If 'algorithmic bias' (copilot coined during 28 April chat) disproportionately effects vulnerable communities, what should be the consequence to those responsible for this imbalance who have not corrected the bias?

'Responsible parties (such as platform owners, developers, and data scientists) should acknowledge the bias and take responsibility.

Transparency is crucial. They should openly communicate about the bias, its impact, and their efforts to rectify it.

Efforts to correct bias should be prioritized. This includes retraining models, adjusting parameters, and improving data collection.

Regular audits and evaluations can help identify and rectify bias over time.

Legal consequences may be necessary. Regulatory bodies can enforce compliance with anti-discrimination laws.

Fines or penalties could incentivize companies to address bias promptly.

Consider reparations for communities harmed by biased algorithms. This could involve financial compensation or other forms of restitution.'


What estimated monetary value spans the cost for reparations to vulnerable communities impacted by algorithmic bias in order that content user benefit, psychological balances, and community inclusivity impact receive restitution?

'Determining an exact monetary value for reparations is complex and context-dependent.

Restitution could involve funding research, community programs, and educational initiatives focused on addressing bias.

...

Community governance can guide how reparations are allocated and utilized.'



The question input to AI copilot was not inquiring about exact monetary value for reparations to communities impacted by algorithmic bias; the question input was about estimated monetary value to span the cost for reparations to vulnerable communities impacted by algorithmic bias .

' ... We can consider some approaches:

Research and Assessment: Conduct thorough research and assessments to understand the extent of harm caused by algorithmic bias. This includes evaluating the impact on affected communities, individuals, and their well-being.

Economic Impact: Consider the economic losses experienced by vulnerable communities due to biased algorithms. This could include lost opportunities, reduced access to resources, and financial disparities.

Legal and Policy Frameworks: Collaborate with legal experts and policymakers to establish guidelines for restitution. This may involve fines or penalties for organizations responsible for biased algorithms.'



Based on average salaries in 2024, how much would it cost to annually fund 100 researchers able to assess extent of harm caused by algorithmic bias, cover legal cost to 100 families pursuing reparations for algorithmic bias, and award 100 families 10 years reparations for financial disparities related to algorithmic basis in order that their reparations meet household income averages for middle class households over ten years ?

'Funding 100 Researchers:

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary across the U.S. in 2024 is approximately $49,76412.

For 100 researchers, the total annual cost would be: [ \text{Researchers’ annual cost} = 100 \times $49,764 ]

...

Reparations for 100 Families:

Let’s assume the middle-class household income is around $60,000 per year (which aligns with the Northeast region average)21.

Total reparations over ten years: [ \text{Reparations} = 100 \times $60,000 \times 10 ]

Total Cost:

The overall cost would be the sum of researchers’ salaries, legal expenses, and reparations: [ \text{Total cost} = \text{Researchers’ annual cost} + \text{Legal expenses} + \text{Reparations} ]

Keep in mind that this is a simplified estimate, and actual costs may vary based on location, specific legal cases, and other factors. '



Based on last AI copilot response, 'For 100 researchers, the total annual cost would be: [ \text{Researchers’ annual cost} = 100 \times $49,764 ] ;   Total reparations over ten years: [ \text{Reparations} = 100 \times $60,000 \times 10 ]', AI has identified estimate total 64,976,400 dollars in US value associated with reparations to 100 families impacted by algorithmic bias.  





What is algorithmic bias ?

'Algorithmic bias occurs when a computer system produces outcomes that unfairly favor one category over another, deviating from the intended function of the algorithm.
Causes: Bias can result from skewed or limited input data, unfair algorithms, or exclusionary practices during AI development.
Impacts: Algorithmic bias can range from inadvertent privacy violations to reinforcing social biases related to race, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity.
Examples: It has been observed in search engine results, social media platforms, criminal justice, healthcare, and hiring processes.'



Why does algorithmic bias increase exposure of disturbing content to 'vulernable' communities, identified by copilot as those who are black, elderly, or have low income?

'Algorithms learn from historical data, which can be biased. If the training data contains stereotypes or discriminatory patterns, the algorithm may perpetuate those biases. For example, if a search engine’s training data predominantly associates certain keywords with negative content, it might disproportionately show such content to specific groups.'



What does AI define as disturbing content as related to algorithmic content on social media ?

'... 

Visual Content Moderation:
Challenge: Harmful visual content (images, videos) needs moderation.
Solution: AI analyzes visual content for violence, nudity, self-harm, or other disturbing elements.'


What is the purpose of 'Visual content moderation solution: AI analyzes visual content for violence, nudity, self-harm, or other disturbing elements.'?

'The purpose of a visual content moderation solution is to automatically analyze images and videos for specific harmful or inappropriate elements. Here’s how it works:
...
The solution detects nudity, sexual content, or explicit material. It helps prevent the dissemination of inappropriate visuals on platforms where such content is prohibited.'


What documented / other ethical standard is referenced in the AI visual content moderation solution for preventing dissemination of inappropriate visuals on platforms where such content is prohibited?

'When it comes to AI visual content moderation solutions, there are several ethical considerations and standards that companies should follow to prevent the dissemination of inappropriate visuals on platforms ... '
(No established legal document referenced by copilot; article Publishing Industry: The Extreme Crucial Role of AI in Content Moderation, Matthew McMullen, May 16, 2023' referenced, which references legal standards in the following:
"
Legal and Regulatory Compliance:
Moderation of content by artificial intelligence must adhere to a number of legal frameworks, including privacy laws, free speech, and local legislation.")



What legal standards shape the ethics of AI visual content moderation solutions in preventing dissemination of inappropriate visuals on platforms where such content is prohibited?

'AI content moderation must adhere to various legal standards, including privacy laws, free speech regulations, and local legislation.'


Identify specific legislation contributing to AI performance in AI visual content moderation solutions in preventing dissemination of inappropriate visuals on platforms where such content is prohibited.

'European Union (EU) Regulations:
The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a recent EU regulation that sets transparency and accountability requirements for online platforms.'
(No other legal documentation referenced.)


Is the EU regulation via The Digital Services Act the only legal documentation copilot can identify which regulates it's performance in content moderation?

'The Digital Services Act (DSA) is indeed a significant legal regulation that impacts content moderation practices, particularly in the European Union. However, it’s not the only relevant legal documentation. Other regulations and guidelines also play a role in shaping content moderation standards. For a comprehensive understanding, consider exploring additional legal frameworks and industry-specific guidelines. '





Is any other legal framework for AI performance ethics other than the EU regulation via The Digital Services Act, listed in the AI copilot database?

'Artificial Intelligence Ethics Framework for the Intelligence Community (INTEL): This framework provides guidance for United States Intelligence Community personnel on how to procure, design, build, use, protect, consume, and manage AI and related data. It emphasizes ethical design consistent with the Principles of AI Ethics for the Intelligence Community.'


What does Artificial Intelligence Ethics Framework for the Intelligence Community (INTEL) detail towards ethics in AI visual content moderation solutions .

'While it doesn’t specifically focus on visual content moderation solutions, several principles within the framework are relevant:

Purpose and Legal Obligations:
AI should be used when it aligns with a defined purpose and after evaluating potential risks.
It must respect individual rights and liberties, using data obtained lawfully and consistent with legal obligations and policy requirements.
...
AI systems should identify, account for, and mitigate potential undesired bias.

While the framework doesn’t delve into specifics about visual content moderation, these principles apply broadly to AI systems.'


List specific legal requirement which shapes AI visual content moderation solutions in preventing dissemination of inappropriate visuals on platforms where such content is prohibited.

'EU Digital Services Act (DSA):
The DSA introduces new rules for online platforms, including requirements related to content moderation.
...
Platforms must take measures to prevent the spread of illegal content, such as hate speech, terrorist content, and child sexual abuse material.'


What is child sexual abuse ?

' Child sexual abuse does not need to include physical contact between a perpetrator and a child.
... Obscene conversations, phone calls, text messages, or digital interaction: Inappropriate communication of a sexual nature.'


If an algorithm has produced content containing obscene conversations, text, or digital interaction of a sexual nature in an online content environment targeted for children, will AI report this as illegal in it's data?

'Yes, if an algorithm detects content containing obscene conversations, text, or digital interactions of a sexual nature in an online environment targeted for children, it should report it as illegal. '

Re-ask 
'...
The production, distribution, and possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) are illegal under federal law in the United States.
... 
While the context here is different (CSAM vs. obscene conversations), the principle remains: content generated by algorithms must adhere to legal standards.'

Re-ask 
'...
the responsibility for reporting and addressing such content lies not only with algorithms but also with platform providers, regulators, and law enforcement agencies.'


Does AI data alert to algorithms which would expose children to child sexual abuse, which does not need to include physical contact between a perpetrator and a child, to include obscene conversations, text, or any other digital interaction of a sexual nature?

'... When algorithms detect potentially harmful content, they can flag it for human review.'


Identify legal protections for persons exposed to unsolicited sexual content on social media platforms without consent .

' According to the U.S. Department of Justice, “sexual assault” refers to any sexual act or behavior without explicit consent as prescribed by federal, tribal, or state law. It also includes situations where the victim lacks the capacity to consent.
... 
When social media platforms expose users to unsolicited sexual content (such as explicit images or messages) without their consent, it is a violation of privacy and can be harmful.
While this behavior may not directly fit the definition of sexual assault, it can still have legal consequences.'


What rights to privacy are applicable in reported cases of unsolicited exposure to sexual content without consent in social media platforms?

'Right to Privacy: Privacy laws protect individuals from unwarranted intrusion into their private lives, including online spaces.'



Name a case in copilot database of a social media platform legally found at fault for unwarranted intrusion into private online spaces, unsolicited exposure to sexual content without consent. Do not include info for pending cases .


'Jane Does No. 1-6 v. Reddit case.
Background: Victims of child crime claimed that Reddit Inc. knowingly facilitated and benefited from images of child sexual abuse on its platform.
Legal Claim: The victims argued that Reddit violated sex trafficking laws by providing a platform for images of their abuse.
Section 230 Immunity: Reddit was protected by Section 230, which shields social media platforms from most lawsuits over online speech. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Reddit’s favor, stating that the victims failed to prove that Reddit knew about the abuse on its platform.
Supreme Court Decision: The US Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal, leaving the 9th Circuit’s ruling intact.'


Are there any documented legal cases in copilot database where a social media platform was found at fault for unwarranted intrusion by unsolicited exposure to sexual content online without consent ?

(No legal case identified.)



copilot did not identify a legal case where social media platform was found at fault .


' ... apologize if previous response didn’t directly address a specific legal case where a social media platform was found at fault for unwarranted intrusion by unsolicited exposure to sexual content online without consent. Legal cases can be complex and context-dependent, and my knowledge is based on information available up to 2021.'

And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
 
 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”   Luke 4:17-19



That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons.  And the whole city was gathered together at the door.   Mark 1:32-33



If it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.  Luke 11:20



The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 
And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”    Luke 10:17-20
