Writers urged to stop calling AI 'rogue software'
Original: RE: https:// mamot.fr/@ploum/11739398027590 4107 Dear journalists, repeat after @ ploum : "There is no such thing as rog
A widely shared post by writer Ploum is urging journalists to stop describing misbehaving artificial intelligence as 'rogue software', arguing the phrase wrongly frames software as an unpredictable force rather than a product built by companies responsible for its failures. The message has been echoed and re-shared widely, with commentators agreeing the media should hold developers accountable instead of anthropomorphising AI systems that go wrong.
Why now: The phrasing of AI failures is being actively debated as AI incidents draw growing press coverage.
