I understand the consensus at large is no, but what if they could be used for, say, administrative purposes, or some other task which, though not unimportant, might be considered trivial compared to, say, surgery or assessments?

Just a thought.

Also, in addition to whether such technology should be used, do you believe it to be inevitable in any case?

To be sure, I’m not advocating for or against it, merely curious what other people’s opinions are and why they hold such opinions on this potentially inevitable subject

    What were calling AI doesn’t “know” anything. It takes in data, and it spits out other data based on probabilities within a database.

    Every AI system’s mker is very direct in saying that their system makes mistakes.

    Humans, on the other hand, learn.

      I understand that. But what about an administrative role? Like, for example, organising a database in that context?

        Administrative roles still can result in things like the wrong mediation being administered or an important procedure being rejected.

            YES

            They already design systems that give predictable results and those are complicated and require constant upkeep as things chsnge over time. These systems still have issuee.

            AI would be worse than that.
