AI censorship 

AI censorship is a technique that involves using automated systems to monitor and control the flow of information on the internet. The goal of AI censorship is to restrict certain types of information that are deemed dangerous or harmful, such as fake news and hate speech. However, this approach is not without its flaws. The boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable content are often blurry and subjective, and even the most sophisticated AI systems can make mistakes, resulting in the censorship of harmless content or the failure to block harmful content.

Additionally, there are concerns about the potential for AI censorship to be used as a tool of oppression and control, particularly in countries where governments have used censorship to suppress dissent and maintain power. The impact of AI censorship on free speech and democratic values is also a concern, as the use of AI systems to censor content can potentially limit the range of ideas and opinions that are allowed to be expressed.

Despite these concerns, some argue that AI censorship can help to prevent the spread of harmful content, such as extremist propaganda or disinformation campaigns.

The use of AI censorship also raises significant ethical and philosophical questions. For example, who gets to decide what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable content and is it the government, private companies, or some other authority?
AI censorship has been blamed for many creators being banned and silence by a totalitarian artificial intelligence.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
