The Hidden Dangers of Artificial Intelligence and the Perception of Truth
D.C. Collier has written about the risks that can arise from viewing artificial intelligence as an infallible source of truth and its effects on human perception.
A newly published article discusses the tangible dangers created by viewing artificial intelligence as a substitute for truth.
Artificial Intelligence and the Relationship to Truth
In his article, author D.C. Collier draws attention to the dangers of viewing artificial intelligence as a source of truth rather than keeping it as a tool.
The Risk of Bias in Training Data
It is emphasized that the systems are based entirely on human-made data which can contain errors, biases, and falsehoods, giving rise to the rule of garbage in, garbage out.
Systems as Sequencing Engines
Referring to Microsoft executive Mustafa Suleyman, it is stated that these systems are not conscious entities, but rather sequence completion engines that follow human instructions.
Philosophical and Moral Parallels
The text also examines in detail philosophical and moral similarities regarding the relationship that human perception forms with reality, culture, and worldview.
