And that's true whichever way you cut it. Whether those "good" actors
are everybody or a few selected for privilege. We have no basis on
which to trust big technology companies more than anybody else. Indeed
quite the opposite if the past 10 years are anything to go by.
It is such a god-awful shame that corporations have been so
disgracefully behaved that we now face this bind. But at least we know
what we'll be getting into if we start handing them prefects badges -
organised and "safe" abuse by the few as opposed to risky chaos
amongst the many.
A saner solution might be a moratorium on existing big tech and media
companies developing AI, while granting licenses to startups with the
proviso that they are barred from acquisition for 10 years,
- chasd00 3y agoAnother sane solution would be a law stating all trained models, source code, and training data must be made available to anyone who asks at no cost. That removes an AI as the secret sauce to any commercial entity but still leaving the door open to research and advancement. Propose that and watch all these big companies come back with "whoa whoa whoa, that's not what we meant. What we meant was we have it but no one else can have it".
