The real-real issue is how many people don't bloody understand what AI/ML are, but are making huge decisions about where they are appropriate to use.

I can't count how many times I've heard "Let's add AI to this page!" was requested from non-tech execs in the last year, not knowing what does or doesn't work. Our most successful analytical report runs a simple 10-rule heuristic and nobody is the wiser.

So yeah, people trying to inject AI into hiring/firing. The people who did inject AI into predicting criminality. It all boils down to negligence, ignorance of your tools.
