alt Hacker NewsIt is literally the ONE thing that every AI critic has been talking about for years.
Several things can be true at the same time : it's possible for the wild claims of great efficiency gains and transformative (for good) power of AI to be overblown (for the sake of stock prices) AND for AI applied to surveillance to be a terrifying prospect.
Surveillance AI doesn't need to be correct to be terrifying.
I hear far more concerns about putting people out of work, the environmental impact, or even copyright issues than the ways AI will be used to control people. I wish every critic of AI was putting this issue out there anywhere near as often as other concerns.
