On Knowing

Authored by: Mary Klein
Last January, police in South Carolina released a sketch of a possible murder suspect, drawn by artificial intelligence, based on information from DNA found at the crime scene. No eyewitnesses and no cameras had observed the murderer’s face, yet the computer produced an approximation of it, and the authorities believe it might help them solve the crime.

Then we do our best to do the right thing, never really knowing all the good and all the damage we are causing.
