Are We Automating the Banality & Radicality of Evil?

In the latest article from Carnegie Council’s Artificial Intelligence & Equality Initiative (AIEI), Senior Fellows Anja Kaspersen and Wendell Wallach along with AIEI Board Advisor Kobi Leins argue:

 

“In the rush to roll out generative AI models and technologies, without sufficient guardrails or regulations, individuals are no longer seen as human beings but as datapoints, feeding a broader machine of efficiency to reduce cost and any need for human contributions. In this way, AI threatens to enable both the banality and the radicality of evil, and potentially fuels totalitarianism.”

 

Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with this critical article from the AIEI team.
