Would artificial intelligence make strategy ‘less human’?

This article discusses the influence of artificial intelligence (AI)—specifically Narrow AI—in the formulation of strategy arguing that there is not a straightforward answer to the question posited in the title. The Impact of Narrow AI in strategic decision-making will not fundamentally alter the nature of strategy due to the impossibility to program human faculties such as rationality and intentionality. Notwithstanding, the article concludes that ethical issues in the global environment will sustain the basis of strategy primarily as a human and political activity for the foreseeable future. Firstly, this piece reviews overarching definitions. Secondly, it discusses how Narrow AI affects strategy’s formulation through the predictive power already developed; three illustrative examples substantiate the elaboration. Thirdly, it discusses how ethical factors limit Narrow AI’s influence at the core of strategy so that it remains a human activity first and foremost. Discussions related to tactical applications of AI—for example, drones—are out of the scope of this analysis

Rap Lyrics and Evidence of Guilt: The Racial Impact Of The Weaponization Of Evidence Rules

Many who study the Unites States criminal justice system are quick to note that racial discrimination in the specific contexts of policing and incarceration leads to disproportionate outcomes for Black and Hispanic Americans. As these aspects of our justice system are riddled with racially disproportionate impacts, their prominence in the advocacy for criminal justice reform and legislative attention is undeniably warranted. However, there is also an area less prominent in the public conversation that has shown to play a substantial role in contributing to the racial disparity we see within our system today: state and federal rules of evidence. Specifically, certain pieces of evidence, like rap lyrics, are wrongfully deemed admissible against criminal defendants in an attempt to correlate lyrics from their songs to guilt of the crime for which they are charged. The movement towards admitting song lyrics into evidence has primarily been used to target Black artists within the hip-hop industry, instead of artists in other music genres.
