- Big Tech is lying about some AI risks to shut down competition, a Google Brain cofounder has said.
- Andrew Ng told The Australian Financial Review that tech leaders hoped to trigger strict regulation.
- Some large tech companies didn’t want to compete with open source, he added.
Restricting open source offerings only drives them underground where they will be used with fewer ethical considerations.
Not that big tech is ethical in its own right.
Bot fight!
I don’t think there’s any stopping the “fewer ethical considerations”, banned or not. For each angle of AI that some people want to prevent, there are others who specifically want it.
Though there is one angle that does affect all of that. The more AI stuff happening in the open, the faster the underground stuff will come along because they can learn from the open stuff. Driving it underground will slow it down, but then you can still have it pop up when it’s ready with less capability to counter it with another AI-based solution.
Restricting AI would require surveillance on every computer all the time.
Eh sure to totally get rid of it, but taking it off GitHub would get rid of 90%
All that will happen is it will get shared around TOR.
Then we’ll need an AI running in ring -10 of every CPU to make sure you don’t run some unlicensed AI…
