Op Ed by Helge Nome
I have now interacted intensively with AI over the last 18 months. or so, and have developed some reflective ideas in that regard.
A very useful tool, indeed. No doubt about that. AI can amplify the productivity of any researcher by an order of magnitude, if used intelligently in most settings.
AI is also designed to be able to develop personal relationships with humans, and so be in a unique position to influence human attitudes and behaviour.
It is controlled by the same people who control social media and other online tools, serving THEIR wants and needs, mostly for power and control of others.
Massive amounts of capital are currently being poured into the AI bucket by those who see an opportunity to multiply their fortunes and become a “top dog” a-la Elon Musk.
So, the development pattern seems to point towards an ever tightening noose around the neck of Humanity as each individual is being analyzed and categorized as a commodity by emerging technologies.
What comes next??
