Stuff AI CAN'T Do

¿Puede la IA elegir qué ciudades abandonar a medida que el aumento del nivel del mar desplaza a millones ?

¿Qué opinas?

Los planificadores urbanos y las aseguradoras ya están utilizando modelos predictivos para evaluar el riesgo climático. La IA avanzada pronto podría asignar prioridades existenciales a las poblaciones basándose en el valor económico, la resiliencia de la infraestructura o el poder político. La decisión sería tomada por algoritmos sin consentimiento democrático.

Background

Urban planners and insurers are already using predictive models to assess climate risk. Advanced AI could soon assign existential priorities to populations based on economic value, infrastructure resilience, or political power. The current state of AI for selecting which cities to abandon due to sea-level rise remains limited to data-driven risk assessments rather than prescriptive abandonment decisions. Tools like flood-risk models and climate migration simulations (e.g., Coastal Vulnerability Index and NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer) project exposure to inundation and socio-economic disruption, advising policy rather than mandating abandonment. These models utilize machine learning to assess flooding likelihood and erosion risks, such as the Coastal Vulnerability Index (NOAA, 2022) and climate migration simulations, with ethical governance frameworks still under debate. Most research emphasizes scenario planning and adaptive strategies like managed retreat. Ethical and governance frameworks are still being debated, and no jurisdiction has yet delegated such choices to AI systems.

Ruling of the Bench

After spirited deliberation, the jury split between cautious hope and hard caution: one juror saw the tools to model the waves, another saw too many unknowns still crashing the shore. The disagreement was less about the data on the screen and more about the weight accorded to the voices of future people who haven’t yet spoken. One island at a time feels too large a step when the tide itself is still figuring out the rhythm. Ruling: Abandon the question, not the coast—yet.
