Ethical Artificial Intelligence

A recorded livestream discussion on ethical issues in generative artificial intelligence featuring CJ Trowbridge, Future Inifinitive, and The Real Cornpop.

My main takeaways of the topics discussed:

• The practical impossibility of any real ban or limits in a post-international-law world
• Lack of explicit consent vs fair use rights
• Derivative work vs stolen work
• Alignment
  • Elon assumes he can force AI to act like Stephen Miller; it’s more likely to act like the hundreds of thousands of administrative beurocrats who refused to go along with him.
• Consolidation of power/ wealth
  • Epistemic Power
    • Centralized corporate/oligarch control over the social construction of truth and knowledge
    • The only truth is whatever serves capital
    • Bias and representation
      • What perspectives does a model built by {Sama, Elon, Zucc} ignore, exclude, or erase
  • Cloud Capital
    • Very large models are almost exclusively built/run by rent-seeking coprorations/oligarchs
