I agree with much of what you stated with these comments. We currently have numerous “media” outlets who spew propaganda and lies. So I’m pretty certain AI will improve upon that. Misinformation is out there but I believe it will be overwhelmed by the truth.
Certainly it will be regulated as various governments and the AI community is already working on them. Yes, the danger of misusing AI is there. Fox news comes to mind. They spew lies for profit every day. Until Dominion and Smartmatic sue for damages. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Friday, September 15, 2023, 6:06 PM, Joel C.

AI may easily surpass humans in the ability to analyze and deduce conclusions from a large amount of data and propose actions -- it already has in a number of areas. One problem that arises in that there is a considerable amount of data loose in the real world that is misinformation, and too much garbage-in still produces garbage-out. That many humans have problems telling the different between fact and fiction, have biases on choices of data, and humans will be choosing the sources of data to program the AI will inevitably cause some problems. The general public is already displaying an indifference to the limitations of AI and abusing AI: asking questions of AI apps in areas for which the AI is poorly trained and trusting fallible responses as being authoritative because they are produced by a machine. The real problems and dangers of unregulated AI become clear if and when AI is given the power to make and implement life and death decisions without adequate human oversight, or to propose actions that humans might blindly follow in a life or death situation. The science fiction genre is full of plots that suggest how badly this can go. When you grant AI the power to make decisions and take actions in the real world, most of us want not just intelligence involved, but also wisdom and morality. Most want decisions that can impact their lives to be constrained by a moral compass of what is right and fair. We have no idea how to build that awareness into AI; and since there may be no general agreement on whose standard of morality to use, that may be an impossible task. Even if there were agreement on the morality that should be designed into AI, and an understanding of how to do it, do we trust fallible humans to implement it without error? We need to be very cautious for the short and long term about what kinds of decisions and actions we entrust to AI. A legitimate concern is that if future AI regulation or its enforcement is inadequate, some individual or corporation with more power & money than wisdom may go rogue, ignore whatever AI restrictions are in place, and create a dangerous AI, just because they believe it will enhance their short-term profit.
