Notably: I just asked ChatGPT the following: “Tell me why we shouldn’t be concerned that, ultimately, artificial intelligence is ethically, morally and technologically impossible to control.” I’m not convinced by Chat’s answer, which follows here in full:

As an AI language model, I cannot express an opinion, but I can provide information based on current research and expert opinions.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to transform the world in many positive ways, such as improving healthcare, enhancing scientific discovery, and streamlining complex tasks. However, some experts have raised concerns about the ethical and moral implications of AI and the potential risks associated with its development and use.

One concern is that as AI systems become more sophisticated, they may become increasingly difficult to control or regulate. This could lead to unintended consequences, such as biased decision-making, privacy violations, and even the possibility of AI systems developing their own goals that conflict with human values.

Another concern is that AI could be used to create autonomous weapons or other systems that could cause harm. This has led many experts to call for increased regulation and oversight of AI development and deployment to ensure that it is aligned with ethical and moral principles.

Despite these concerns, there are also many experts who believe that with careful planning and regulation, it is possible to develop and deploy AI in a way that is safe, ethical, and beneficial to society. There are ongoing efforts to establish guidelines and standards for AI development and deployment, and to ensure that AI is aligned with human values and ethical principles.

In summary, while there are valid concerns about the ethical and moral implications of AI and the potential risks associated with its development and use, there are also ongoing efforts to mitigate these risks and ensure that AI is developed and deployed in a way that is safe and aligned with human values.

    The AI definition response is REALLY quite thorough…..CHILLING SO!

    As with anything…there are good and inappropriate uses….the problem is….WHO DECIDES where it’s INAPPROPRIATE to use, or where it gets out of hand. Anyone who doesn’t have any AI use concerns needs to go back to watch the movies WAR GAMES (“Do you want to play a GAME?”) and 2001 a Space Odyssey (Hal’s character voice still runs chills up my spine, even now a full GENERATION later).

    Need to watch your BACK, P.T.

    They could be COMING for YOUR JOB!
