As AI’s capabilities expand, so too do concerns about its ethical implications. At the forefront of this debate are AI ethicists, a growing group of experts who advocate for responsible AI development and deployment.
AI ethicists raise a range of concerns, including the potential for AI systems to perpetuate bias and discrimination, the lack of transparency and accountability in AI decision-making, and the risks of AI misuse for surveillance, manipulation, and autonomous warfare. In response to these concerns, many AI ethicists are calling for heavy regulation of AI technologies.
AI Ethicists Sound the Alarm: What’s Driving Their Call for Heavy Regulation?
Yeah this is what I keep trying to explain to people. I think AI ethics to be important, but the major wave of apocalyptic AI fear mongering just comes across as regulatory capture. The ethical response is to expand access and get more backgrounds involved, not to leave it up to people in power.
