The sweeping manifesto is about safeguarding humanity in an era of increasing reliance on #ArtificialIntelligence. #PopeLeo raised the trans-Atlantic slave trade in relation to what he called the new forms of #slavery & #colonialism that the digital revolution is fueling, such as the #unregulated #labor practices in procuring rare #minerals needed for #AI #chips.

"The new era of warfare will likely be dominated by states that never slow the growth of AI’s military capability, learning to innovate and integrate the fastest. If peace is not the central goal of the use of military AI, this technology will not just change the nature of war but accelerate us towards uncontrollable conflicts, with consequences we may be unable to survive."—Julia Williams

Military AI: Operational dangers and the regulatory void - Diplo

As military AI becomes operational in today’s conflicts, the lack of regulation and accountability risks turning warfare into a domain governed by opaque algorithms and unchecked escalation. Without urgent global oversight, these technologies could outpace our ability to control them, putting peace, ethics, and human lives in jeopardy.

Criminal charges for management?

Making directors responsible for things that they allow to happen in their company?

What an odd approach.

Haven't you learned the first rule of unregulated capitalism?

You can fine a company, but you can never criminally charge the directors whose actions resulted in the criminal actions of their companies. /s

Of course, there's no #SpeculativeCapital for implementing known solutions. But untested, unnecessary technology in the #Unregulated #FinalFrontier certainly appeals to the science fiction addled tech bro money

This long thread by William #Lindsey is very worthwhile for anyone interested in how the billionaire class is hoarding money (AND power) that could fund a Scandinavian social utopia.

From statements from #Pope Leo to links to articles by Robert #Reich, Samantha #Hancox-Li and Casey #Michel.

You'll find it all in his thread.
