Once again Ted Chiang has it exactly right. The immediate danger from #AI is not that it will become sentient and do whatever it wants. The danger is that it will do what it’s being designed to do: help rich corporations destroy the working class in pursuit of ever-greater profits and thus concentrate wealth in fewer and fewer hands.

@JamesGleick with the recent advances in #opensource #training #techniques, AI will be available to everyone. And if I know human nature at all it will be first applied by malicious actors, only one of them being capital as specified here.
The steps taken by society to mitigate should be #verification of humans and verification of accurate reporting.
AI for every kind of social and political mischief imaginable will be available by 2025.
Governments need to act, stop looking at business.

Verificatie of je een mens bent gaat vast weer heel veel business voor #biometrie verkopers opleveren
