Part 6/13:
Competing Narratives: Woke vs. Anti-Woke AI
Musk criticizes the ideological battles being fought over AI, particularly the idea that AI should be programmed with specific, socially progressive biases (referred to as "woke AI"). He also notes the existence of anti-woke AI, which some believe are designed to oppose these narratives. Both approaches, Musk argues, are dangerous because they politicize AI development and threaten to foster centralized control over these powerful systems. He warns that neither of these ideological extremes fosters true safety or societal benefit, and neither should be implemented at a centralized level.
