But… Smart hips! </s>
Screenshot of a New York Times article. Text reads: For instance, say you break your hip, and your orthopedist tells you the world’s most highly rated hip replacement is a Chinese-made prosthetic that is infused with Chinese-designed A.I. It is constantly learning about your body and, with its proprietary algorithm, using that data to optimize your movements in real time. It’s the best! Would you let that “smart hip” be sewn into you? I wouldn’t— not unless I knew that China and America had agreed to embed a common ethical architecture into every A.I.-enabled device that either nation builds. Viewed on a much larger, global scale, this could ensure that A.I. is used only for the benefit of humanity, whether it is employed by humans or operates on its own initiative.

I’m laughing at my former self’s annotation whimsy.
An page of a book with annotations that include arrows pointing to droplet stains labeled “wine.”
