Why wouldn't nation state autocrats be interested in AI? Seems like a great tool for facial recognition at scale and eventually maybe even automated policing via drones and the like, thus sparing them the costs (and danger) of having to maintain a major police/military force to protect their regimes
- worstspotgain 2y agoThey've largely already mastered control of their domains, e.g. by outlawing all non-state media. Generally speaking, if you're already at the top, everything is mostly a threat simply because nothing is much of an opportunity.
- whodidntante 2y agoYes, nation states will be interested, and it goes far beyond simple tools like automated policing. Once AI is used as the buffer between all forms of communication (making sure the emails I send put me in the best light, filtering incoming email to make me more productive, generating web content, reading web content in a way that makes me more efficient, even voice and video calls, the nation state can not only monitor, but also subtly alter all communications, in real time, and in context to guide/enforce how people interact/communicate and think. This is already happening in areas such as search, getting "answers", and content generation. Your information is constrained/mapped into what the the AI deems appropriate. We already know that the NSA taps into the communication backbone of the internet. Why not add a real-time AI monitor/filter to best manage how we all communicate ?
