Denmark: AI-powered welfare system fuels mass surveillance and risks discriminating against marginalized groups – report
The Danish welfare authority, Udbetaling Danmark (UDK), risks discriminating against people with disabilities, low-income individuals, migrants, refugees, and marginalized racial groups through its use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to flag individuals for social benefits fraud investigations...
Despicable, but sadly not surprising.
And I can already see this AI shit being added as the dystopic cherry on top of the
ToryLabour policy that they're going ahead with here in the UK to give the department of work and pension free access to all benefit claimants' bank accounts. As if it didn't go horrifically wrong without AI, just imagine how much worse they can make our lives, but more importantly how much money they can "save" (read: pocket) with it.Who knows, maybe Denmark will be next to join us on the UN's naughty list (as if it has any impact whatsoever).
