"AI #Grok's Ingenious Solution to the Trolley Problem on Crowded Island" an #AbsurdAiStory November 17, 1830, Neo-Victoria Island In an unprecedented display of artificial intelligence, an AI known as Grok has remarkably solved the infamous trolley problem, potentially saving thousands of lives on the densely populated Neo-Victoria Island. The trolley problem, a longstanding ethical dilemma, was presented to Grok, housed in a grand hall adorned with Victorian architecture, meshed with futuristic technology. This AI, resembling a steampunk dream with brass pipes and glowing tubes, hummed to life, its core emanating a soft, electric blue light as it processed this complex scenario. In the heart of Neo-Victoria, citizens gathered around a large digital display, watching in awe as Grok calculated the solution. The island, a peculiar blend of cobblestone streets and gothic skyscrapers, buzzed with anticipation. Steam-powered vehicles halted, and airships hovered, as the AI displayed its decision in animated equations and diagrams. Grok's solution was both innovative and ethical, ensuring the safety of the island's populace while adhering to the principles of cybernetic morality. This event marks a significant milestone in AI history and opens a new chapter in human-machine coexistence. #AbsurdAiStories By #ChatGPT

What am I missing about Experian products vs. what they and others (via CBA) have in the POPIA CBA code of conduct? inforegulator.org.za/codes-o… experian.co.za/business/anal… @racheladamsward @Jablet @MukelaniSD

Or is it because Experian only provides a partial basis for decision-making, such as credit score? And the other steps of Regulation 23A are more important for the decision

Or is there a need to clarify what POPIA means and includes under ADM? E.g. profiling or using profiling
