Ten million users receive potentially incorrect information. With Citizen, the American company of the same name found its chicken with golden eggs: in fact it offers “protect your world” publishing videos and photos of an accident, and receive alerts to be informed of possible problems or crimes near their location.
Therefore, a concept that has attracted more than 10 million people, but, however, has important defects. In an investigation, 404 Media explain that he has learned from several sources that the alerts sent by the citizen were generated by artificial intelligence, and that these were plagued by errors giving rise to exaggerations, even to false information. In addition, some of the tasks are performed by workers abroad.
Deceptive notifications generated by AI
The survey seems that the new company dismissed a dozen employees who had unionized. According to 404 average, it was precisely replacing them.
Problem: The notifications generated by AI are not forwarding at any time to humans. Therefore, this resulted in comments in total, of date with reality, as a “car accident” that becomes a “murderous accident that involves a vehicle.” Others come to give rush and bloody details, as a “person sacrificed in the face” or also give private information such as the plate of a vehicle.
404 Media also adds that Citizen AI also tends to bring to light the secret police operations through the analysis of the authorities’ radios. In addition, during the prosecution races, AI cannot detect several alerts of the same incident and, therefore, treat them as several problems, however, located in the same area.
Bad luck for the citizen, these revelations arrive a few days after the firm with New York City of a juicy contract, three years after a first association, allowing him to help the police and citizens of the city protect themselves from crimes or accidents. Despite several reminders, Citizen did not want to speak with the US media after these revelations.
