The Trump administration has awarded Palantir a no-bid contract to build an AI system intended to prevent "SNAP fraud," among other things.
The no-bid contract is for the implementation of the National Farm Security Action Plan and includes "security checks" on SNAP applicants.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.
AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

Disabled people are going to die without SNAP benefits in the US. There's no sugar coating or glad handing here, it's just the truth. Black, Brown and Disabled people who cannot work and are reliant on these systems will be affected the most. So when you see a link for help click it.
