The Great #AI Unraveling Series

AI risks, societal impacts, and “apocaloptimism”

[ We are preparing to launch a special series on #ArtificialIntelligence.

To premiere this series, we will be speaking with #tech #ethicist Tristan Harris—co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology. In this conversation, we will explore his warnings about the impending age of AI. According to Harris, the current trajectory isn’t just menacing the economy, but fundamentally rewiring human relationships, altering parenting and mental health, potentially accelerating #climate collapse, and even threatening the very fabric of society. We will inquire into ways to remain human in an era where machines can simulate empathy, displace our labor, and potentially outmaneuver us. ]

#AI’s #dominance is not inevitable, according to a #tech #ethicist

When it comes to #artificialintelligence, the #technological #determinism argument is both exaggerated and oversimplified.

Would be good if we could get an #Ethicist here.

Guessing they will go ahead with their AI Ethics panel anyway.

(Do you know if they will have an actual ethicist on the panel? If not, is the rest of their orgaisation staffed by amateurs too?)

This evening I watched a webinar on the future of #AI. Panelists were #developers and #scholars and an #ethicist and the like.

The last point was how all of this has been packaged as a game and, thus, seen as “harmless,” because it’s a game. It was, the commentator offered, a caution against Big Tech and the successes herein.

You should have seen all those panelists nodding along in agreement.
