Strange affair of man with the machine	2020-10-13		.txt	text/plain	4399	179	48	We have now gone way past the era of human-machine collaboration and heuristics of problem solving of the earlier AIs, we now live in the era of the prediction AIs. Whist the academic community may be overjoyed with their work on prediction and affective computing to solve societal problems, the same prediction paradigm is being appropriated by high-tech companies and security agencies for automating mass surveillance of people and communities. (Cooley 2013) Whilst the medical and health professionals and data science researchers see COVID-19 data as a guide to predict scenarios of infection, fatality, and develop guidelines for safety, the same data are being appropriated by surveillance proponents to promote machine leaning algorithms and apps as instrumental tools for locating, facial recognition, monitoring and tracing people under the cloak of cloak of public safety, national security, fraud detection, and even disease control and diagnosis.	./cache/cord-310905-1oqfh8of.txt	./txt/cord-310905-1oqfh8of.txt
