"UW Law Professor Ryan Calo, says imagine you’ve been placed on no-fly list.

“It’s not as though there’s some dossier that you could look at and see exactly what’s going on. It’s the result of artificial intelligence in that sense, combing through lots of information and spitting out a likelihood that you’re a problem,” he said. “How do you appeal that? What recourse do you have?”

Calo says some worry that artificial intelligence could run amok and even harbor ill will against humans. But he says he sees no evidence of that. Calo and his cohorts in computer science see this as an opportune time to look at how technology will affect society, and what role the government should play."
