"Hard to see how bad actors would not misuse AI for bad things"

05/03/2023

Geoffrey Hinton resigns from Google saying: "It is hard to see how bad actors would not misuse AI for bad things." A call for a pause in development of Ai is ignored as profit seeking behaviour and competition leads to an acceleration of AI development without the ground rules being set and the regulatory agencies powered by law, and without the necessary government action. The tendency of business profit seeking behaviour to lobby legislatures that set the rules has led to lack of regulation for pharma, banks and tech, leading to social breakdown in society with higher health costs, lost decades through unemployment and loss of savings for families. AI takes the problem to another dimension with an effort to replace human thinking behind behaviour. With AI laissez faire ceases to exist as a viable option for free people, only with strict regulation can banks, tech and AI operate to perform useful functions in society. For this to happen schools, media have a role to perform well their role to educate people.
