America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change (lemmy.ca)

The Trump administration recently published "America's AI Action Plan". One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST's AI Risk Framework.

Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are "objective and free from top-down ideological bias".

Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.

This is going to be catastrophic. Imagine the government using AI that does not factor that waters will rise and things will get more humid when deciding to build houses or bridges only for them to be underwater.

Sadly Trump will probably be dead before his place in Florida is flooded by the rising ocean.

I don't even think the models are going to work anymore. Everytime Musk tries to ideologically forces tweeter AI it's going fucking crazy and instable.

How does one get rid of misinformation and tell it to not give real answers. I just don't get how you can say weather anomalies are consistently occuring more and more.. and it is not tied together at all. It's like trying to do math and having 10 apples. But we cannot recognize we have a total 10 apples. So we say we have 10 individual appels, but we can't say they add up to ten.

The only solace I find in this is that AI, and AGI specifically, is probably a massive grift that will crash spectacularly at some point.

Like crypto?

[–] brianpeiris@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Very similar to crypto, the AI hype is sustained by some future promise that never comes true.

AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

What was/is a grift, is all the stupid money and people around it that don't have a damn clue where the limits of the technologies actually lie, what kinds of real problems are solved and have been sold lies stop lies without doing their due diligence.
