Tech Firms Race Ahead with AI Amid Calls for Oversight
-
ChatGPT's debut sparked worries about AI threats, but a year later, US regulation efforts have stalled while Big Tech plows ahead unchecked.
-
Big AI firms like Google, OpenAI, and Meta are scraping copyrighted data and content at massive scales to feed their AI systems, with little regard for laws or ethics.
-
Meta even contemplated buying publishers like Simon & Schuster just to feed texts into its AI, while hiring people to summarize books to dodge copyright.
-
Experts warn AI systems will hit an accuracy wall by 2026 unless more data is improperly fed in, pushing systems toward stupidity or insanity.
-
Governments have failed to restrain Big Tech's AI developments like they did for nuclear weapons. Companies won't restrain themselves, so authorities must step in given the existential stakes.
