It’s the lack of guardrails that is concerning.
I don’t care if AI is giving me better search results or drafting some email content or even helps with customer service chats or meal planning or whatever.
AI is really cool. It does offer some great advantages. But we’re going to need some guidelines and laws governing what we can and cannot do with it.
We need to set true ethical limits while the technology continues to improve. You can’t ever expect a machine to truly think like a human. Ultimately, every computing decision is a 0 or a 1… it’s binary. Humans, especially when it comes to ethics, do not compute things so simply. We just don’t work like that and the implications of thinking like that are disastrous.
You can’t let an AI driven car kill its passengers and have a CEO come out and say, “Wow, yeah we’re going to learn from that and adjust our models.” Human life isn’t a video game.
The best technology will never and should not be allowed to ultimately replace the authority of humans.
Also, consider this: What we’re seeing today is just the commercial side of the equation– 10-15 years behind what’s being developed and deployed within the intelligence community. What we’re getting is merely the declassified and “safe” versions… so, considering we know the impact of human-powered troll farms on elections and political influence… what else is out there in the machine-driven world?
