They want us to think that they care. The World Economic Forum has expressed concern, deep concern, on its website over the global internet problem of deep fakes. This is the use of AI to replicate all matter of things. For example, I stumbled onto a website, where innocently enough some computer geek who liked the Beatles, took a recent Paul McCartney song, and re-engineered it with McCartney’s young voice, and backing vocals from George Harrison. You would not know it was AI generated. And there have been sinister uses in cyber-crimes, so, yes, it a problem. But the “cure” delivered by the World Economic Forum is worse than the disease: Global AI Action Alliance, “Joy to the world” will be protocols to produce “safe AI.” And, in the process, freedom of speech and the ability to criticise organisations like them will be wound down.
I would rather take my chances with the deep fakes.
