Current dangers

Why it matters

1. Don't let governments become dictatorships. Footage is a key part of holding authorities accountable. Who will watch the watchers? We the people. We can't let AI ruin that.

Not being able to trust pictures, video, audio

Let's draft up some policies that could stop this. Join the discussion.

FAQ

Why not just create more jobs? Read more History is full of technological breakthroughs that made work more efficient. But instead of people working less, the economy adapted by producing more. That's what they call "economic growth", and it's been one of the most inefficient ways to lift people out of poverty. After all these decades, most people are still overworked at their jobs, and there are still almost a billion people malnourished. We need to do better.

Other concerns

* Environmental impact of AI
* AI psychosis

Other discussions

* Talk: Are AI images art or plagiarism?

Unemployment

Main solution: Socialize basic needs

Future dangers

Unaligned superintelligence

If you're not familiar with this, you can start by watching: If anyone builds it, everyone dies
