When a topic is hot and trending, you would expect jokes and funny quips to come, and nothing is hotter and trendier than Artificial Intelligence. Here they are:
There is a research study called “The Ethics of Advanced AI Assistants,” written by 36 researchers from across the globe. A blogger mercifully summarized the monstrous 36-page report into the following that can provide us with a glimpse of the tech-driven, AI-centric future. I have taken the liberty to reconstruct his blog and present it in a shortened form to fit in the space for this column.
Security concerns are paramount, with AI having access to extensive personal data necessitating new levels of consent and protection. Users’ autonomy could be compromised as AI agents make decisions on our behalf, and the risk of data misuse is high. Government regulation? Yes, we will need that, but the irony is that rules can only be enforced at scale through AI agents. The government cannot act at the speed of technology, so we must depend on our tech leaders to guide AI development with ethics and compassion. Should we then count on Mark Zuckerberg? Elon Musk? Sam Altman? Hmmm.
