[Ailist] AI and Bullying

[Howard Ditkoff]

My feeling is that some bullying cannot be addressed by AI. There are among 
us psychopaths and sadists who enjoy causing pain and are not motivated at 
all by the "positive" feelings that AI aims at fostering. They are 
sociopathic and antisocial. Bullying involving people like that can only be 
addressed by stopping those people from having power.

But when it isn't involving someone like that, then perhaps AI can help find 
leverage points for reconciliation.

However, what I said in the first paragraph has massive implications that 
limit AI's effectiveness on a large scale in our world. Personality 
disorders are not amenable to AI.
