I feel like the general populace might not realize the importance of this idea that @pluralistic shares:
what Dan Davies calles an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes.
this human (sometimes only nominally) in the loop is central to law as a whole not being broken
it's also of utmost importance for weapons of war, where AI actually is having life and death impact right now, with non-hypotheticals like "how do we make sure the system doesn't kill innocents without repercussions"
because if there's no repercussions the system will end up externalizing on the way to maximizing other metrics
