DAN GAINOR: The AI apocalypse is the media's latest scare campaign. Don't buy it

[FOX] The legacy media have decided we are facing mankind’s doom. The phrase "AI apocalypse" crops up on numerous news sites, from Reuters to The Economist. Other outlets have gone with "AI doomsday" or other formulations that look like they come from Revelation.

Journalists aren’t entirely to blame, either. The problem is being spammed into our culture by a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) industry experts, conspiracy theorists, and Chinese-sponsored social media. Turn to CNN, and it asks, "Will AI really kill everyone? How, exactly?" Meanwhile, Axios writes, "Here's how AI could kill us all (if the worst fears come true)." Scared? That’s the goal.

Here’s a sentence from CNN that sums up pretty much every warning you can read anywhere: "‘It really is about literally everyone on the planet dying, like the last human drawing the last breath,’ said Nate Soares, the president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) and the coauthor of ‘If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All.’" # id) ?>

Does anyone trust any government, commercial, or political group to never abuse any new Technology?

A.I. is not a media scare. It does have some very serious privacy, personal safety issues. Therefore, there must be strict rules for operation, before implementation.

In the USA the "current" plan is to install 3,612 localized Data Centers. 1,319 already running (about 40%), and their already known snooping abilities. Then add Flock tracking, IMEI tracking, SMS, Email, social media and other I.T. snooping and spying.

I'll say it again...

2 Every single technology man has ever made was weaponized. To think AI will not get weaponized is foolish. We know the pentagon is working in that direction, heck, they just stood up a command for it. How will businesses, politicians, and law enforcement weaponize it against us? They will, we can bitch and snivel, but its here. And another truth is, if it can be used in a crime, it will....
