AI and Trust

brandonsbytes

Great write-up, thanks for posting. Shame to see so many people reaching the same questionable conclusions.

> Because the point of government is to create social trust. To the extent a government improves the overall trust in society, it succeeds. And to the extent a government doesn't, it fails. But they have to. We need government to constrain the behavior of corporations and the AIs they build, deploy, and control. Government needs to enforce both predictability and reliability. That's how we can create the social trust that society needs to thrive.

… and who is going to constrain governments that seek to use this technology also? Technology itself can be the counter-balance we crave.

Governments are the very reason distrust exists today towards corporations and in society. Plenty of people like the author do so much work, so much research. And yet they identify and wish to treat the symptoms, not the root cause. It’s such a shame. Open source means open access, simple.

> It should also be available for anyone to build on top of. This means universal access. And a foundation for a free market in AI innovations. This would be a counter-balance to corporate-owned AI.

You’re describing FOSS, Sir.
