Going further:

Some AI is interpreting all camera around the country in real-time. A single government employee is adjusting parameters according to what the current elected officials deem important. There is, however, extra CPU time dedicated to cameras monitoring political opponents.

After all, we commit crimes regularly, unknowingly. There are so many laws that not only are there lifelong jobs in the law business, but there are several different types of them. https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704471504574438...

You'd probably like the show Person of Interest written by John Nolan -- Christopher Nolan's (writer and director of Dark Knight trilogy, Intersteller, Inception, etc.) brother.

It loosely follows this premise of multiple AGIs going head-to-head against each other as one is used for "good" and the other for "evil" by their respective creators.

I think it's a great show. Very interesting.

The episode I liked most was if-then-else. It had the right mix of silly and smart for me. The conclusion of the show was not that great, IMO.

Hehe :) Seconding recommendation for Person of Interest. Jonathan Nolan then went on to create the Westworld HBO series. These two brothers are really talented, it runs in the family.

Then I think you found a great startup idea. Create the AI that warns you when you are about to inadvertently commit a crime, thereby helping you navigate the complex and incomprehensible legal system. Investors will line up to give you money because they will know that everyone will need your patented AI to avoid jail

Or a new type of actor for hire that gets people to inadvertently commit crimes on cameras. Same reasons as 10,000 years ago: angry spouses, jealousy, political assassination etc.

Ohhhh. You just described law enforcement sting operations...

Damn, damn, damn...

Taken out of context :

>>>> A single government employee is adjusting parameters according to what the current elected officials deem important.

Is exactly my job... But seems totally fine. After all, politics are here to say what to do (provided it's not going too far)
