There are few things more astonishing to me than the fact that the public, which can avail itself of all of history, including recent history, via the devices they all carry every day, still nods thoughtfully when someone stands up and says "what we need is government to be more involved!" People who stand up and say that today should be reflexively, overwhelmingly and passionately tarred and feathered within seconds of them opening their mouths by a public that has spent the last 20 years watching a huge bloated government systematically destroy the tech industry (once the purest of meritocracies, utterly color and sex-blind), healthcare, transportation, the list is endless.
Furthermore, even the "experts" at the AI companies, the ones actually creating these tools, are prone to falling head-first into their toolset and declaring it alive, conscious, etc. In other words, even the "experts" don't know what they're talking about, another thing the public should have noticed as a generality after the whole COVID debacle.
Good article…IMO A.I. is the most powerful tool developed yet. It will transform our society. The data and technology MUST be regulated and guarded by good people by honest people that’s the conundrum ….tHats the issue. Good versus evil.

You don’t have to a cynic, but healthy skepticism is an asset. I’ve got a lot of respect for Dean Ball, but . . . follow the money.
You don’t see any threat in AI?
