A lot of us here hate AI because of how it was built: training data gathered without the creators’ explicit, opt-in consent, data centers that negatively affect communities’ access to clean water and energy, a technology design that is inherently prone to hallucinations, etc. At least, those are the main reasons why I hate it.
I think I might actually want to support an AI project if I thought it was being done right. Maybe we could get more people away from exploitative models if there was a non-exploitative alternative.
So what would it take to build AI ethically, in your opinion? And do you know of anyone trying to build AI without these issues?
I’m going to be a pedant and say that capitalism is not a conscious being capable of free will and therefore cannot abide by a code of ethics BUT individuals choosing to participate in a capitalist system make it much more difficult (impossible) to behave ethically.
Well yeah if you want to get into the semantics of it
