I, personally believe, AI is a tool at this juncture of human existence. Its use is determined by the 'creativity' of its requester.
We ALL know of the blatant and fallible reasoning that humans can be motivated to support. The leaders within societies affect what the people see and will follow.
ML is NOT the problem: We have seen instances that a reset of ML leads to Dark Ages until humanity can get back on track to move forward. Think: "The Library of Alexandria" and what happened prior to the Dark Ages. Or what has been seen in book burning in several societies known to mankind. So destruction of the data is not a benefit to mankind.
What can be hoped, is that AI will provides some/many societies on the planet to use it, creating favorable conditions for human populations to thrive, florish, and enjoy senses of common community. The data (ML) is there, and we know the 'real' answers, but will WE allow AI to assist us in moving mankind forward such that GREED will diminish and the planet can heal?
This is the problem that the wealthy is MOST afraid of as AI analysis threatens their control of mankind. This has nothing to do with whatever model a country has, it has to do with whether all countries will be given access to the data allowing them to contribute, add, correct ML data. Will ALL data/evidence/information be made available for human investigations and endeavors for beneficial use by all countries on this planet?
As open as I have been to development leading up to making ALL data available to everyone and making AI tools available, I wonder which country will be the 1st to be inspirations to its citizens to use AI for any/all things that will of benefit to EVERYONE within its country's borders.
AI was developed to make us SMARTER. My feat is NOT AI, rather, it is the knowledge of the past imperialism and behavior of the wealthy to prop themselves up over the best interest of its peoples. The wealthy DO NOT see themselves as the helping its people who made them wealthy. As such they will spare no expense to use AI to grab more of the share of the pie and the people be damned. They know that the people do not have the means to change their wealthy behavior such that everyone benefits.
AI technology is NOT the doom that some assert. The doom is us and our unwillingness to change our behaviors and the constant instituting of fear.
Aggression and Imperialism will be the downfall of us...not the technology. The countries that embraces ALL of its citizens as well as endorsing citizen use of AI for their societal benefits...assuming that can find ways of staving off the Aggressive nations who will bully them, will become the future leaders of mankind. Otherwise, the wealthy will create the "Matrix" for themselves. Elon is the closest example of the pavement being created controlling media, power, robotics, neural understanding, transportation on/off planet and now with his AI corporation. I cannot blame him for taking controls while at the same time I see how it will be detrimental to his society and to mankind on the planet. Together, all of this leads to what we are seeing in tools exploited to drive mankind's behavior. This is a concrete way of "programming" the human individual in much the same way that we 'program' units on our home networks to interact in EXACTLY the same way as human interact in society. Couple that with him leading the most Aggressive society on the planet and we are now looking at something never envisioned before.
Today he is suing corporations in the world because he feels Twitter information belongs to him and no one in the world is allowed to look/use it unless they pay him to see it.
This forum is the WRONG place for me to share this, but, I am afraid of what we have created knowing the facts of past human behavior and its resistance to change.
I will TRY, as best I can, to 'program' myself to not post this kind of info again on the forum. I WILL TRY!
