I have a problem with this story about AI “Becoming So Powerful, It’s Stumping Those Trying to Contain It.” All the tech bros, and the reporter, suggest that the AI’s have agency here. In fact, the AI’s are being programmed and designed and set in motion to carry out cyberattacks—to “hack certain targets.”
Then there's unexpected damage!
Maybe stop doing that? But don't pretend the AI’s have gone rogue.
@gleick every time I see something like this, I feel like it’s propaganda. They’re planting seeds about AI going rogue so they can nefariously use AI to do the bad things you mentioned. Then, later, they can point back and say “see? We told you AI was going rogue,” so they can try to avoid responsibility.
