A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's kind of my point... They didn't. To research ways the un could use ai, you could have workshops and interviews with various groups, experts and non-experts alike. You don't just pick one, utterly insane use case (that is called out beforehand as such) and implement that. You do research on the options and pick either the best ones or, if there's no good one, none!
To come up with a research project, it has to go through various pitches, drafts and proposals. I can't imagine every single control instance failing so utterly that this kind of project with this high school level of arguing ("well, we could do this, so why wouldn't we?") passes each of them. There has to be a better reason why they did this. And if there really isn't, a lot of people should ask themselves what the fuck they're getting paid for if they let this happen - and some other people if they're the ones who should fire the former.
