OpenAI has reportedly dismantled the team that determines whether its AIs are too dangerous, just after admitting that it can no longer rule out “critical” cyber capabilities. Nobody is prepared.
Great! Now we have a highly technical and potentially dangerous "horse before the cart" technology that can go rogue or unplanned. So where do we, the hapless survivors or victims of AI do? I know that there are uses in medicine, research and other fields for AI, but how is the average citizen to protect themselves against AI news, not actual news from legitimate journalists, or art created by a computer, or an AI generated "person" giving medical, psychological or even marriage counseling? The potential for maliciousness both intentional and unintentional is enormous. And without legal protections how are individuals, or businesses going to protect themselves from plagiarism, phony contacts with those who would prey upon our children etc.? As an artist I would also be really angry with someone who took my creative designs, made a modest change and passed it off as the work of another person. Think about the possibilities without checks and legal balances. It can become a ponzi scheme or other pass on lies as truths. SCARY! It is even more than the lies being told to our media directly by government people.
The data which AI needs to provide its alleged super intelligence can be politically manipulated as I read in another article. This makes AI a tool of the dictators trying to indoctrinate the public. Medical data which has been politically corrupted can make AI say anything the dictators want to say. Impartial evaluation goes out the door when the data is politically corrupted. Anything you question can be manipulated by manipulating the data or not keeping the data up to date. If you want to bomb a school, the school's designation has to be changed in the data. Then you can blame the AI when it was the data that was corrupted or not up to date. We assume that everyone in the system is being honest. Honest politician is often an oxymoron.
