We’re looking at the very real possibility of a Trump regime
and of a more authoritarian style US government
and that part of the [Republican] party has had its eye on controlling tech and particularly social media for a very long time.
So those are considerations that should all be taken together in an analysis of
What is AI?
Who does AI serve?
And why should Europe be concerned about concentrated power in the AI industry?
We need to look at a definition of ‘progress’ that relies on casting off all guardrails that would govern the use and abuse of technologies
that are currently being tasked with making incredibly sensitive determinations;
currently being linked with mass surveillance infrastructures that are accelerating new forms of social control;
that are being used to degrade and diminish labor.
Is that what we want? Is that progress?
