Part 7/13:
A significant concern is the potential misuse of AI—particularly in military contexts. Autonomous weapon systems capable of decision-making about life and death are viewed as deeply troubling. The discussion emphasizes the importance of international bans or regulations but recognizes the difficulty—if not impossibility—of preventing rogue states or actors from developing such technology.
Bias in AI is also a prominent worry. Systems trained on societal data inherit existing prejudices—racial, economic, or geographic—perpetuating discrimination. The current data-driven approach, while powerful, risks amplifying societal inequalities unless meticulously managed.
