The Terminator franchise is based around the folly of letting an AI control a nuclear arsenal. But here we are building the biggest AI ever and letting it analyse our social interactions. Think of the power this could have if it goes rogue! It could manipulate entire populatuions by minutely controlling what they see and read. Surely if manipulation at that scale and fidelity became possible it would be something to be concerned about?
.... Oh wait ....
- georgeecollins 5y agoThe premise of the science fiction novel "After On" is that the first AI to reach sentience is running a dating app. It's actually a good, well researched book.

- rbanffy 5y agoIn many senses, corporations already behave like artificial general intelligences, and Meta has been using its information and models to manipulate large populations to increase its profits without much regard for negative externalities (such as coups, degradation of democracies, and so on). We will not be able to control an AGI any more than we are able to rein in Meta. Unless the humans in charge are held responsible for the actions of the organization they control, there is little hope we will.
- codeulike 5y agoExactly! Meta and the other corporations it co-exists with. Corporations have the ethics and self control of immortal superpowered toddlers and they are using facebook's advertising algorithms as a tool to get what they want.
- rbanffy 5y agoThe good side of our current state of affairs is that when we get AGI, there will be no humans to be held accountable.
