- Most, but not all, all the most scary uses for ai are those potentially by governments against their people.
- The next most scary uses are by governments against the people of other countries.
- After that, corporate use of ai against their employees and customers is also terrifying;
- next, the potential for individuals or small organizations seeking to use it for something terrorism-related. Eg, 3d printers or a lab + an ai researcher who helps you make dangerous things I suppose
- near the bottom of the noteworthy list is probably crime. eg, hacking, blackmail, gaslighting, etc
These problems will probably all come up in a big way over the next decade; but limiting ai research to the government and their lackeys? That's extremely terrifying. To prevent the least scary problems, we're jumping into the scariest pool with both feet
Look at how China has been using AI for the last 5-10 years: millions of facial recognition cameras, a scary police force, and a social credit system. In 10-20 years, how much more sophisticated will this be? If the people wanted to rebel, how on Earth will they?
Hell, with generative ai, a sophisticated enough future state could actually make the Dead Internet Theory a reality
That's the future of ai: a personal, automated boot stomping on everybody individually and collectively forever, with no ability to resist
