Arguments vary from the \u201cnothing to see here\u201d level to not-very specific technical reasons for and against. Predictions range from extinction and massive job losses to \u201ceverything\u2019s fine here in the dunghill\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Zealously overlooked in this rather useless talkfest is human reality. 23 years of wars, disasters, environmental, social, and cultural decay don\u2019t get a mention. Cost of living is causing a \u201cpoverty pandemic\u201d someone occasionally condescends to mention. \u2026So, apparently, on this basis people shouldn\u2019t worry about AI? The same political and economic culture that has been destroying the world, eradicating jobs, and making life unaffordable can somehow be trusted with AI. What\u2019s the basis for all this suddenly na\u00efve optimism?<\/p>\n<p>The fear of AI in this multi-decade-long utterly insane socioeconomic meltdown is natural. Adding a totally unknown element to any situation naturally generates negativity. Adding it to an ongoing catastrophe doesn\u2019t help. Democracy itself is suffering, thanks largely to people who are the beneficiaries of democracy. The rich, the corrupt, political skanks, and the incredibly stupid are doing fine, thanks for asking. Nobody else is. AI is seen as an implied or actual existential threat. It\u2019s already being mismanaged, badly, and far too slowly.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/tech-science\/op-ed-fear-of-ai-is-the-instinctive-zeitgeist-of-the-early-21st-century\/article\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/tech-science\/op-ed-fear-of-ai-is-the-instinctive-zeitgeist-of-the-early-21st-century\/article\">DJ<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/ai-vs-democracy-the-zeitgeist-of-the-early-21st-century\/\">AI vs Democracy \u2014 The Zeitgeist of the early 21st century.<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3519,3719,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-122108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ai","tag-democracy","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122108\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
