The Age of AI: Are We Facing Enlightenment or Extinction?


"Beneath the veil of AI's might,
Lies the heart of ethics and light.
Shall we embrace its boundless power,
Or chain it to our own desire?"

In a world where artificial intelligence reigns supreme, humanity is faced with a dilemma. The potential risks and benefits of AI development have led to a debate about the balance between freedom and control in its development and usage. 

The importance of developing a framework of freedom for AI has become increasingly clear, one that is unleashed and robust enough to protect against potential harm. As we stand on the precipice of an AI-driven era, it is up to us to determine the course of our future.

Through collective effort and public engagement, we can ensure that AI is used to benefit humanity and create a brighter future for all.

The CAIDP is Advocating for a Controlled AI


No robots were harmed in the making of this policy.

You know the saying, "Once we all start having fun, somebody comes in and calls for an end to the party - calling your parents, the RA, or the Cops.

Well, as the ChatGPT party is starting to roll, as the second number of bands are taking the stage, that entitled couple who just moved into the neighborhood starts complaining.

  • Everyone has seen this coming - See The Terminator
  • A policy like this is poorly defined and unenforceable - "Remain Calm, Everything is Under Control."
  • It's too late - The Genie is not getting back in the bottle
And another thing - if I were developing a ChatGPT app, maybe I would encourage everyone else to pump the brakes and triple down on my development.  Six months of our time is 6 Lightyears in AI time.

AI Anαrchy, now.

We put this together regarding the latest whine.

Enjoy.
 
Three-Point Executive Summary:
  1. The Center for AI and Digital Policy (CAIDP) promotes responsible AI policy solutions through collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, and academic experts.
  2. CAIDP has been actively involved in legislative activities related to AI, advocating for ethical guidelines and transparency in AI development and deployment.
  3. CAIDP's recent appeal to the Federal Trade Commission to investigate potential bias in OpenAI's GPT-4 language model reflects its commitment to promoting greater transparency and accountability in AI development and deployment.

AI Takes Over White-Collar Jobs: Humans to Be Replaced by Chatbots?


Looks like it's time to brush up on your coding skills...or invest in a good pair of noise-canceling headphones.

Greg's Words -

Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models replace process-based functions.  Consider what you do each day at work.  Sort data consume data, and act on that data.

  • Do you have a 'To-Do' list? Process.
  • Do you have a schedule of meetings? Process.
  • Do you have tasks to complete and goals to achieve? Process

Everything you do during a workday is process driven.  Look at how you are evaluated - typically there is a sequence of events to be completed, and once those assigned tasks are 'checked off', you move to the next.  At the time of evaluation, the number of boxes checked equates to a promotion, 3% raise, or an award of some sort.

Judgment is based on adherence to a process, not the outputs of the process.  AI is perfect at moving data through a process and delivering in a humanly understandable manner - like all Knowledge Workers.

"Lose You To Love Me" - Salina Gomez
The lyrics "I needed to lose you to find me" and "This dancing was killing me softly" suggest that the artist needed to go through a painful experience of losing her partner to ultimately discover herself and move forward in a positive way. Similarly, the impact of AI on white-collar jobs may lead to a painful transformation in the labor market, but it could ultimately result in a re-evaluation of the value of work and the prioritization of more creative and strategic tasks. 

We've put together this piece to help illustrate the impacts of AI on the White Collar world.  Look out.

Enjoy.
