We can and should talk about care in our institutions. This article is focused on health care, and for some reason, the American health care system, but the message about AI and care applies equally to the education sector. It is essentially this: "when it is installed in a health sector that prizes efficiency, surveillance and profit extraction, AI becomes not a tool for care and community but simply another instrument for commodifying human life... when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself." True, but so does anything. The problem isn't the instrument, but what is being prized. I mean, the American health care system - or education, or anything - can be awful all by itself, without AI, if the wrong things are prized. Via Miguel Guhlin.
