This takes me back to the little girl who didn't get saved in IRobot.
No matter how you spin it, AI is already biased, the LLMs in existence already have bias within them and developers are having to take moral decisions that will be compounded over the years. What scares me most is the minimal real competition on the leading edge of these technologies.
If the NHS were run for profit, people would be concerned it could impact health outcomes for patients. Let's reword that statement for AI.
If Societies were run for profit by AI giants, people would be concerned for .... errr the future! 😱
I'm not casting shade on anyone's hard work here. We work with a number of AI firms helping them build their teams. There is some brilliant work being carried out in the space. It's also all too easy to come up with a dystopian future full of negativity. The hype bubble for AI is nearing its peak with the impact of the technology, perhaps also at fever pitch.
In recruitment, for instance, there has been AI promotion for a while now. I am yet to see any AI recruitment product that is anything other than boolean with a badge.
But we can't lose sight of the fact a huge amount of the AI sector is being funded by VCs, a VC firm's sole priority is to make money for their investors. That is a conflict of interest for social outcomes.
What's that? Stop the ride I want to get off?!?
Tough! you don't get a choice, decisions for you and your loved ones and society were made in a boardroom with profit generation at the heart of many of them.
Did you miss the invite to vote for the future you wanted to play a part in?

ELON'S WARNING AGAINST CHATGPT
"I have a concern really for all the major AI programs.
I mean, the two biggest ones obviously are Google Gemini and OpenAI.
The concern I have, and this may seem like a small concern, but I think it's actually a very big issue, is that they are not maximally truth-seeking.
They are pandering to political correctness.
