As Peter Lewis argues:

'If AI products were a car or a new medicine, the impact would be tested & modelled before it was let loose on the community. But simply by being new, Big Tech seeks a free pass based on a trust that it hasn’t earned'!

Exactly; we've were warned that Big Tech will 'move fast & break things' but we shouldn't acquiesce with their toddler mentality; its time to resist the deployment of more socially divisive wrecking technologies!

Big Tech deploys Orwellian doublespeak to mask its democratic corrosion

As AI asserts its power to shape social evolution, regulation is decried as ‘state control’ rather than the expression of our collective will

@ChrisMayLA6

That is such a good analogy. I'm going to borrow that for my on-going discussions with friends and colleagues, who blindly believe #AI is marvellous.

It will be the death of us all.

One #Sum error in #Excel and the entire economy collapses, pretty much.

@kaffando @ChrisMayLA6 AI is simultaneously a godlike intelligence ("everything's computer!") and can't draw hands, and people can't see the problem there.
We have been trained to think computers are the intelligence, rather than the intelligence being in the people who design, build and use them.

@ChrisMayLA6 Considering some believe #AI could end humanity perhaps a wee bit of regulation would be sensible? It’s a no brainer, really. Or will greed prove fatal?!
