The letter against AI is a power grab by the centralized elites
Last week, a group of elites, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, signed a letter calling for a halt to the development of AI systems so that the industry can assess the risks they pose. The letter claims to be motivated by a concern for the common good and the future of humanity. I believe that it has a more self-serving agenda.
The letter against AI development is not a genuine expression of concern for the future of humanity, but a strategic move to prepare public opinion for different ways to ban AI. In the near future, we will witness governmental pressure on AI development.
It appears that this letter serves as a strategic maneuver by the technology elite to safeguard their authority and influence. The underlying apprehension stems from the possibility that artificial intelligence could liberate humanity, consequently leading to a loss of control over the masses in the near future.
The authors are using scare tactics and sensationalism to portray AI as a dangerous and uncontrollable force that could threaten our existence and values. They want to create a false sense of urgency and necessity for a pause on AI development.
