In the 80’s and 90’s there were movies like: terminator The series, space-age technology, and the dot-com boom gave rise to sci-fi technophobic speculation. One day robots will take over, artificial intelligence will decide that humans are irrelevant and eliminate them, and sentient technologies will replace humans as leaders.
Most Americans ignored this paranoia as a temporary frenzy and chalked it up to terminator As a blockbuster sci-fi action movie.
However, these concerns may not be as unfounded as once believed.in a recent interview stand Kelly and Niki TshibakaMike Matthys, founder of the Institute for Better Internet, discussed the very real dangers of AI.
Matthys warned that while we are not quite there yet: terminator– Our natural rights are at great risk due to the level of danger.
Mattis addressed concerns about First Amendment violations with the advent of AI. The free exchange of ideas, reliable information, and government neutrality are all at risk as AI monopolies gain more control. He went on to elaborate on why AI is such an immediate danger. AI threatens our privacy, violates our First Amendment rights, and manipulates history with biased output.
For example, Mattis recounted a conference he attended in Washington, D.C., where he learned that ChatGPT can’t generate images of Bill and Hillary Clinton with blood on their hands, but it can generate images of Donald Trump.
This is not the only example of AI bias. Google Gemini has recently come under extreme criticism for AI-generated images that depict historical figures with the wrong ethnicity or the opposite gender. President George Washington is depicted as black, the Pope is depicted as a woman, images of Vikings are depicted with only black people in traditional Viking costume, and Gemini is associated with historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln. He said he was unable to create an image. Google announced that it had suspended Gemini’s human image generation feature and eventually fixed the error, but concerns remain.
Despite the growing concerns surrounding AI, not all hope is lost. Mattis further elaborated on the guardrails, describing “security, transparency, neutrality, and accountability” as important guardrails to reasonably contain AI.
“Safety means that not all content should be made public, and that some content is truly harmful. Transparency means that content moderation rules and enforcement actions are made public. Neutrality means platforms need to avoid taking sides. Accountability means ensuring that these companies, which are effectively monopolistic parties, stay within guardrails. It means we need a third party to hold us accountable.”
With these parameters in place, Mattis was confident that AI would no longer trample on our free speech rights.
It is important to protect your First Amendment rights and privacy. As Mattis said in an interview, “Equity and progress can only be achieved when all voices are heard.”
