Similar movies from the 1980s and 1990s Terminator series, space-age technology, and the Internet craze have fueled speculation among some science fiction technophobes—that robots will one day take over, that artificial intelligence will determine humanity is irrelevant and eliminate it, that sentient technology will replace humans as our leaders .
Most Americans viewed this paranoia as a brief moment of madness and chalked it up Terminator As a blockbuster science fiction action film.
However, these concerns may not be as unfounded as most people once thought.in a recent interview stand With Kelly and Nikki TshibakaBetter Internet Institute founder Mike Matthys discusses the very real dangers of artificial intelligence
Mattis warns that while we’re not quite there yet Terminator-The level of danger, our natural rights are greatly threatened.
Mattis addressed concerns about First Amendment violations posed by the emergence of artificial intelligence. As AI monopolies grow, the free exchange of ideas, reliable information, and government neutrality are all at risk. He went on to explain why AI is such an urgent danger: it threatens our privacy, violates our First Amendment rights, and manipulates history with biased output.
For example, Matthys recounted a meeting he attended in Washington, D.C., during which he learned that ChatGPT could not generate images of Bill and Hillary Clinton with blood on their hands, but it could generate such images of Donald Trump.
This isn’t the only example of AI bias. Google Gemini has faced extreme criticism recently for its AI-generated images that depict historical figures of the wrong race or opposite sex. President George Washington is depicted as a black man, the Pope is depicted as a woman, the Viking image only depicts a black man in traditional Viking clothing, and Gemini expressed the inability to produce any image of a historical figure like Abraham Lincoln. Google suspended Gemini’s ability to generate images of people and eventually said it corrected the error, but concerns remain.
Despite growing interest in artificial intelligence, not all hope is lost. Mattis described “security, transparency, neutrality, and accountability” as key guardrails for properly curbing artificial intelligence, and he went on to discuss those guardrails in more detail.
“Safety means that not all content should be public, and some content is truly harmful. Transparency means publishing content moderation rules and enforcement measures. Neutrality means platforms need to avoid taking sides. Accountability means these companies, which are effectively monopolies, need to Some third party to hold them accountable to make sure they stay within those guardrails.”
With these parameters in place, Mattis is confident that AI will not trample our freedom of speech any further than it already is.
Protecting our First Amendment rights and privacy is critical. As Mattis said in an interview, “Equity and progress can only be achieved when all voices are heard.”
