Miguel Afonso Caetano"Perhaps in response to the growing unease, A.I. companies have lately been undertaking various other efforts to appear more high-minded. Following the lead of Anthropic, Google DeepMind recently hired an in-house philosopher, and Anthropic convened a meeting of Christian leaders to discuss its chatbot’s moral orientation. A more effective strategy might be for A.I. executives to stop appointing themselves as the only arbiters of safety, to stop asking for blind faith, and to start fostering a system of external accountability, with input and involvement from the public. Tech companies proposing ways to reshape the government is a soft form of techno-fascism that alienates citizens; if A.I. requires a new social contract or a new political hierarchy, then its shape should not be up to the corporations to determine. There is another troubling paradox behind A.I. founders’ messaging: If the technology is as formidable as they claim, then they could be leading us toward existential disaster; if the technology proves less transformative, and thus less valuable than the hype suggests, then they are merely setting us up for global economic disaster. For those of us who aren’t self-appointed heroes of the artificial-intelligence movement, neither scenario is particularly appealing."
