Interesting technologically and philosophically/ethically, not quite disrupting yet

i focus a lot on ethics and technology in my studies, so AI has been a huge discussion topic in my life lately lol. i took a course where the professor's entire thesis was that AI could bring about the next Industrial Revolution and we must act now. I think AI is super fascinating and could potentially be the next frontier and the invention that might move humanity forward (the last big invention was the iPhone over a decade ago and we haven't really had any disrupting technologies since then). a lot of public facing applications of AI are basically still in their infancy and are extremely error prone. at the same time, AI does seem to be a bit of a buzz word term that gets thrown around by people don't understand it super well (example: people saying 'an AI' when talking about ChatGPT lol) and it can be frustrating to discuss (as someone who studies tech, whenever I mention my major ppl ask about AI lmao). I agree with you that we should not be afraid of AI or its introduction into society and instead focus on its application. AI is human made and cannot function without a human (we should only be worried if AI starts to make its own decisions or develop its own language whenever I think of introducing AI into society I think of that quote that's like computers should never make management decisions because computers cannot be held accountable. I like philosophical ramblings about whether AI can ever be sentient, if humans are playing God, etc, and witnessing the development of AI right before my eyes has made me interested in more scifi novels and movies lol. I really like Yale professor Luciano Floridi. He deals with the ethics of information and talks a lot about AI and its applications. He has a ton of papers and talks and goes on a lot of podcasts.

if you've already read about ai slop, go here next

It's a bit of a slow burner, but I appreciate the technical details she focuses on. Like, what the tics of ai instruct us about human use of language and associations And I appreciate her overall philosophical take. She's not fighting all the ways ai is imperfect, while she acknowledges a couple of problems, but I think that by getting excited about how it's a mirror, she reveals a sort of optimism for the future. Here to stay, so let's have fun with the good bits N+1 article by Rachel Ossip
