Not to mention alignment. AIs are anything but neutral. An AI might refuse to report that a PoC was acting aggressively out of fear of being racist. Just an example.

Yeah. Refusing to arrest a "PoC" is definitely the thing to be worried about here. Because if there's one thing american police are known for, it's their deference to "PoC".

Seriously, what the hell? Your first reaction to this article is that you're worried it will prevent "PoC" from being arrested? At what point in american history has that ever been an issue?

My first reaction was to raise concern about alignment, and came up with an example that has nothing to do with current or past events, instead describing a hypotetical future scenario that might possibly play out if current AIs were tasked to issue a report, which are (IMO) overly tuned to be exceedingly sensitive to racial issues and would thus be likely fail to be neutral.
