Any AI model trained on government data is a central repository of data, and the more information consolidated within the model, the greater a violation of privacy rights it becomes. Prediction errors and statistical mistakes threaten our daily lives, as mirages in the desert of abstract data, so-called “hallucinations” can create false justifications for selective or targeted enforcement.

That does seem bad, though I guess I kind of assumed the government already had such consolidated searchable information on people, given all the spying they’ve been known for doing. It makes sense that you shouldn’t trust them with any information because there’s no telling what it will be used for.

Not only the big players extract data from the common citizen, but it also enforces information upon them. AI will make people interact through exchange of knowledge less, and concentrate all the “talk” and information on the hands of few. I think this is a big problem, especially as we near the quantum computation era. How can individuals and smaller organizations possibly compete in AI quality on that scenario? But maybe hardware power won’t be the greatest force in Artificial Intelligence.
