What she said at 2:00 put a smile on my face. I was almost going to say the same - we all retrieve info about the others by the way that they speak/write, because we all are also "leaking" this info all the time. Both unconsciously.
7:50, on AI evidence being perhaps accepted in the future on the same level as DNA evidence: my main worry is transparency, as mentioned earlier in the video. No matter how advanced a bot is, it is not an entity that can be held legally and morally responsible for its decisions. However I'm not intrinsically opposed to a transparent and specialised model being used to generate data that then gets analysed by specialists.
What an amazing video - thank you for sharing!
Happy you liked it!
