good morning, i keep wondering how discord's advanced machine learning model is going to hold up in court when it gets some 12-year-old's age wrong

Screenshot from Discord's FAQ:

How does the age inference model work?

We leverage an advanced machine learning model developed at Discord to predict whether a user falls into a particular age group based on patterns of user behavior and several other signals associated with their account on Discord. We only use these signals to assign users to an age group when our confidence level is high; when it isn't, users go through our standard age assurance flow to confirm their age. We do not use your message content in the age estimation model.

@ello Hahahahaha! When I was 14-15 years old and first on the Internet, it probably would have categorized me as a 50-something college professor!

@ello > A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION

We have entered the era of fuck-around-and-find-out, when it comes to holding AI companies responsible for AI decisions.
