Technosceptics Call for Greater Oversight of AI Development to Prevent Potential Harms
-
Some technologists like Eliezer Yudkowsky warn AI could lead to human extinction within 5-10 years. They call for extreme measures like bombing data centers.
-
"Neo-luddites" like Nick Hilton critique technologies that disempower workers and citizens. They do not reject all tech, just harmful applications.
-
Artists and writers like Molly Crabapple see tech as largely enriching the powerful at the expense of the powerless. They want more oversight.
-
Critics see recent AI like ChatGPT as fatally flawed and likely to cause job losses. They call for pauses, regulations, even sabotage.
-
Ultimately technosceptics want more democratic control over the development of AI and tech to prevent harms. But their calls have had limited impact so far.
