AI Is Dangerous, but Not for the Reasons You Think | Sasha Luccioni | TED
AI won’t kill us all — but that doesn’t make it trustworthy. Instead of getting distracted by future existential risks, AI ethics researcher Sasha Luccioni thinks we need to focus on the technology’s current negative impacts, like emitting carbon, infringing copyrights and spreading biased information. She offers practical solutions to regulate our AI-filled future —…

This seems to be a very shallow take that simply strokes people’s sense of righteousness. A radical new technology requires uncomfortable changes, and this comes across as the predictable resistance to that inevitability.

Where it all falls down, is the individual won’t get to choose a ‘good’ AI model, where AI is being used by a governmental entity, a corporation etc. without explicit consent or even knowledge that AI has been part of the decision about them.

So many of AI these talking points are bordering brain dead.
They are leftovers from unchecked status quos.
If public utilities argued in the ways that artists do, for instance, then no one would have access to water nor sewage.
Newsflash: art is the newest commodity, and much like the artful work of past chemists producing safe water, the artist’s chemistry has been automated into well oiled machines.
Except it’s even worst: the artists whose work can be automated without much cost or dirt and whose work also didn’t require much dirt NOW asks that the sewage worker stay down in the hole and never use the commodity known as “art”, while that same artist flushes his daily t*rd onto the sewage worker whose work actually requires constant maintenance (unlike artists).
These is currently a labor shortage for dirty jobs: perhaps copyrights should be conditional to operating a dirty job.

Unfortunately women who are good at informatics and technology are fews, especially here in Italy, and unfortunately I am not one of those, due to a wrong formation. In fact, in the past (20-10 years ago), if you went to an informatics point there was an unbearable bad smell of males, there was anointed paper. After a while you had to invent an excuse to get out and breath. Now there is no longer that bad smell, because they are chineses, asiatics…they don’t smell bad and don’t need deodorant.

She has some points that there are different kinds of issues in many contexts, but I do question her judgement of scale, impact and risk. Bloom consuming the same energy to train as 30 homes in a year is insignificant. GPT3 consuming the same as 500 homes in a year is also insignificant. If GPT 4 was at 5000 homes and GPT 5 at 50K homes, it would still in the grand scheme of things be very insignificant if you do care about climate change. If those models can accelerate science into green tech with 10-30%, or bring about other large energy efficiency gains, it easily pays for itself. The sum of MWhs to run inference with large models probably passed the training energy consumed this calendar year, so I’d focus more on that if anything. I’m not at all saying climate doesn’t matter, but that the current scale of things noted here isn’t worth spending a large effort on, and she didn’t present numbers for inference, just that it could become very significant.
Social and racial biases of course matter, and should be improved to increase quality and reliability, but I care a lot more more about how this impacts macroeconomics and geopolitics, and what AI is going to do to the nature of work and life over the next 3-10 years.

So if there was a 90% chance that AI would kill all humans in 10 years, focusing on that is a distraction from slightly racist image generation models that exist today?
You have rather strange priorities. If AI is that level of dangerous, we should be focusing on that.

One of the problems with training AI on visual content from the internet is that much of that content is not a genuine representation but an idealized one usually for advertising purposes. The same can be said for online artistic content which usually are finished products and not the process leading up to those finished images.
We’re in AI for example to be trained on the genuine process leading up to images it may be that that AI could develop genuinely original works based on process rather than finished images.

I’m a 74 year old and “AI Dependent!” I find it so useful and seek answers often during my day. These AI’s also have political biases. Don’t believe me? Test your AI by drilling down hot issues. Ask if Hamas is a terrorist organization. Get into issues of race. Ask tough Gender questions. Sexual identity. You’ll find a liberal lean to your answers. Your AI will “dodge” hot issues by saying it is a large language in training and can’t help with the answer when i very well can help. You AI may lecture you if query appear conservative. These AI’s will leave out important facts and statistics if it questions your purpose. There is almost always a liberal slant. Of course, these AI come from liberal creators. So beware. Honesty is in who set up the model. Try me out. It’s fun. You’ll learn that there is a built-in liberal bias. Also these AI’s roll over backward to not antagonize you. Suck-ups to be sure. I want honesty. Not a boot licker. Push you AI to answer hard idlogical questions.

AI is becoming more energy efficient with time, not less. I think some people are confusing AI with Crypto-mining, which in that case, requires using up a lot of energy as part of the point of how “mining” works, to limit how much of that fake money can be generated lol. Whereas for AI, companies have a huge interest in lowering the costs of running their models, and eventually they want these things to be efficient enough to run off devices like smartphones.

If a person or group of people had ingrained bias in them, AI will merely reinforce their views if the results are inline with their thinking. Or simply shrug off the results if AI produce alternate facts even when supplemented with references. AI can be a dangerous tool if used by person or group of persons with closed mind plus questionable moral compass and ethics.

Presently a majority of humans on this planet that think human life was created and designed by some type of intelligent designer. So far there is no evidence of this but, religions of all stripes and denominations offer many different ideas and stories how a magical authority that lives in the sky, usually referred to as a god, was able to do this using some type of supernatural power. If this is true, I think we humans would also be some type of artificial intelligence.
From the evidence we have so far, it appears that human intelligence has been naturally created by the laws of physics, chemistry and biology and that an intelligent designer was not necessary, however, artificial intelligence would need humans to be the intelligent designer or designers.
If an intelligent designer is not necessary to create something with intelligence like humans, my thinking is that the intelligent thing that was created without an intelligent designer will always be superior to an intelligent thing that needed an intelligent designer to design it. Natural intelligence would be able to develop anywhere in the universe but artificial intelligence would need natural intelligence to design.
Humans can use artificial intelligence to threaten, control, enslave, and kill other humans but it will always be humans who started or initiated the threatening, controlling, enslaving and killing not the artificial intelligence since the artificial intelligence is developed after the natural intelligence. And since some humans like to watch other living things fight each other, and organize fighting competitions between dogs, roosters and many other types of animals and even organize fighting competitions with each other for entertainment, humans will probably also organize fighting competitions between artificial intelligences.
It is possible that some artificial intelligence may try to wipe out humans but it is also possible that artificial intelligence will try to save humans and their planet. Not much difference in what natural intelligence has been trying to do ever since it started dominating the planet. If humans are wiped out and go extinct, their is a good chance the the artificial intelligence will also go extinct. The artificial intelligence will probably compete with each other and probably try to wipe each other out and can end up going extinct.
Whatever the outcome, the universe will not care and will continue to exist, expand and evolve according to the laws of physics, chemistry and biology and there will always be the possibility of natural intelligence to develop and if natural intelligence develops there will always be the possibility that artificial intelligence can be developed. This will continue until one day the universe will no longer contain the conditions for natural intelligence to develop nor artificial intelligence to exist and since the universe is also probably a natural repeating cycle of birth, growth and death, there will come a time when the universe ends (dies) and a new universe will begin (be born) naturally, without a designer and the cycle will be repeated.

If someone was saying in 1944 that “nuclear weapons are not a done deal and they want to be concerned about the minor radiation incidinents and waste disposal in the Manhattan project”, it would not be wrong. It’s just that it actually is guaranteed that hundreds of thousands of people are going to die. It hasn’t happened yet. The weapon doesn’t exist yet. But every insider already KNOWS it’s about to happen. The suffering of researchers getting irradiated and dying are also important … but not really that important.

Training AI does NOT require anyone’s consent! It is a Fair Use of the content.
What matters is how someone uses the output from the AI. If they intentionally create something that infringes on a previous work, and use that output to compete in a non-transformative way.. Then that act specifically, is the problem. Not the creation of the tool, which merely allows for all kinds of uses, the vast majority of which are perfectly acceptable.
The real problem here is capitalism itself, and it’s justifications for how we distribute resources to people, which AI invalidates. We must now adapt and drop those outdated mentalities.
NikoKun
November 7, 2023 at 2:48 pm
This is not a real problem with AI. Frankly the direction of this argument seems like an attempt to compare it to crypto mining, but in that case the difficulty of mining is the point!
Worries about this will quickly become outdated. Sure, some AI models are currently energy intensive at the moment, but that IS dropping rapidly. Companies like OpenAI don’t want their models to cost a ton to run, so they’re driven to find ways to drastically reduce that. And other models are already becoming efficient enough to run off a smartphone, so I don’t think this will remain a big issue to focus on, for long.
“They used the energy of 30 homes to train a model, just so people can tell knock knock jokes.” If she’s not going to take the benefits of AI seriously, why should I do that for any of her arguments?

It’s absurd to suggest that anyone with influence has any real interest in hampering the carbon emission of power consumption considering that they could do so rapidly at any time they choose. The machine rebellion apocalypse fantasy is indeed a distraction from the present problems of AI, just as much as carbon emission from the power required by AI being a meaningful challenge is a distraction from the enslavement of humanity.
If everybody with inventions or innovations to combat carbon emissive energy had the freedom to express them today, we would build it all tomorrow and be at near zero carbon emission the day after.

The speaker, who is an AI researcher, received an email from a stranger expressing concerns that their work in AI could lead to the end of humanity.
AI has become a hot topic, making headlines for both positive contributions like medical discoveries and negative instances such as biased AI systems.
The focus should shift from future existential risks to current tangible impacts of AI on the environment, society, and individuals.
AI models contribute to climate change, emitting significant amounts of carbon and consuming large amounts of energy during training.
Large language models, like GPT-3, are responsible for substantial carbon emissions and environmental impact.
Tools like CodeCarbon help estimate and track the energy consumption and carbon emissions of AI models, allowing for informed choices in deploying models.
Artists and authors face issues related to their work being used for AI training without their consent, and tools like “Have I Been Trained?” are created to provide evidence of unauthorized use.
Bias in AI systems can lead to harmful consequences, as shown by cases where biased AI systems led to false accusations and wrongful imprisonment.
The Stable Bias Explorer tool helps reveal bias in image generation models through the lens of professions, highlighting underrepresentation of various groups.
Creating tools to measure AI’s impact is crucial for addressing issues like bias, copyright, and climate change, and it empowers users to make informed choices.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of transparency, governance, and collective decisions to shape the direction of AI’s development.
Focusing on addressing the current impacts of AI is essential, rather than fixating on distant existential risks.
In summary, the talk highlights the need to address the current, real-world impacts of AI on the environment, society, and individuals, and the importance of creating tools to measure and mitigate these impacts.

wow… I went into this video expecting actual real dangers AI is posing in society but all this was was talking about problems of data bias and symptoms of stereotypes without explaining the root cause of the symtpoms while trying to sell her products/services…. And energy crisis? there are billions of people driving to work everyday to do menial jobs that could be replaced by automation. Does that make their work problematic? For a person being paid as a researcher delving into societal problems of AI, this presentation was very lacklustre and borderline a deceptive commercial.
How about looking into how AI is already creating false pornographic images out of people’s sns pictures where scammers are threatening people with them, or how the trust of the media is being actively broken down with misinformation and improvements of ai generated video/audio??? or how ignorant/lazy people misplacing trust on AI systems that can generate fake facts can cause people to be misinformed or make mistakes in their industry (i.e. that idiotic lawyer quoting fake court cases generated by OpenAI)? or how children are now not engaging in intellectual research but becoming more and more reliant on automated systems to do their work for them? or how giant tech companies are now closing off open source internet (and changing the reason for existence of the internet) and gatekeeping data for themselves so they could monetize AI services harder? or how society is not ready for automation at scale where it can replace millions of jobs (look to ai systems already replacing crop management)? or how AI driven drone swarm networks basically puts destructive weapons, that has potential to kill hundreds of people very easily, in the hands of anyone? or how smaller nations can now go against the US military might using drones/AI changing the geopolitical landscape where the US can no longer be called the sheriff of the world)?
There are very legitimate concerns with improvements in AI and some artists’ ability to get paid becuase their monetary source of income from their industry is being disrupted by innovation is NOT a societal shaking problem to discuss in a forum geared towards a worldwide audience….. Not to mention the VERY ACT of these artists creating art is pretty much the same process of ai generated artwork. If AI could be sued for the art that it produces, then literally every single artist on earth has a right to be sued, and only the original artists (who are all dead) that created the different types of styles/technical process of art would be safe.

1. Most Data Centers today are already working hard to move to renewable energy sources. They also tend to benefit the grid as they store lots of energy in batteries, helping in reducing wasted energy. This has been happening for years and will continue into the future. If it saves the company money, it is in their benefit to move there. Free energy is in their benefit.
2. You can remove yourself from the Data Set today, but once an open-source Generative AI model that does uses everyone’s work is better in every way, able to be run from your home PC/phone exiats… The commercial one will just get left behind, it won’t matter. You cannot imprison half of society when they just use the free open-source model that ignores your rules/laws…
3. The bias exists because it is an accurate representation of modern society. Like it or not. To force bias out of systems you will need to also filter everything that makes a culture… “A Culture” out of fear of it impacting the data set. This is very similar to how authoritarians think. They need to let it happen naturally, with more data, and not try and manipulate it to meet their personal ideas of unbiased. If you allow it to happen, over time it will naturally occur. AI will only reflect society, and I find it interesting that you see bias “because of the bias in data sets” and not because it is accurate to reality.

Interesting. So the hypothesis here is that all the electricity used to train large language models came from non-renewable sources, unless it was her firm that was doing it. Also, AI models would rank the probability of an image being true based on a user’s query. This doesn’t necessarily mean that less probable choices do not represent other scientists.

O love,that people are now just realizing that every single key you type on your computer or every single video you watch, actually uses Fossil Fuels and the measuring of not just the Emissions output for the ability for generating simulations but that they materials use to create these very machines that will come not only a cost to our environment but the cost of billions of jobs that a single AI could possibly make irrelevant within a decade or less. No new Creative Independent thinkers employed from design of products but also graphic designers and let’s not forget that Walmart, Target and millions of companies worldwide have just within the last 5 years reduced the amount of both part time workers, but also full time workers, that get all of their healthcare, exporting factories that are further reduced to actual human labor. The self check system means the corporation is stealing your time and work, to short cut to maximize profits above all, the idea that you may work for a company for 20 years and just 1 day before officially retiring from the corporation they may first drop you work schedule to part time, automatically taking a all the benefits you paid into and this not only effects the worker, but his spouse, children, and food and shelter. All of these corporations bought and paid for one judge in particular to the Citizens United case that have the same freedoms to an corporation was it does to any human being and also the corporations are protected, by insulating the Executive Members from their sole decisions and the ability to simple declare Chapter. 7 bankruptcy also allowing the company to not destroy the manufacturing facilities and let them rot away as they already did post Worlds War 2, leaving a entire city or large parts of the residential residents living and moving the newly designed manufacturing facilities in poverty stricken 3 rd World Countries..

This is a crucial topic! Like today’s internet, it has a good and bad side, so it really boils down to creating tools that help us develop better models. The tools that she made are a great start to addressing the biases in the future. It shows that sustainable, inclusive, more competent, and ethical AI models are possible.

Speaking of bias, some of this talk is focused on the advantages of companies that her company is trying to compete with, which makes some of her arguments ring hollow. Also, society is biased, so AI trained on the outputs of society is simply an uncomfortable mirror. Tweaking models to hide the inherent bias of society needs to be done with great care, and could be dangerous in its own ways.

We should also factor the time saved by people while using this models for the the carbon emissions. I know this is a hard metric but if on average a person saves 5% of it’s time in front of a screen while using copilot, this is a huge benefit to the environment.

My problem with AI is that the programmer can tell it to lie. Putting in ethics is only a set of truths to the group, but not the whole world. Politically correct is trying to not offend anybody by only giving a politically correct answer, not necessarily the true answer. If we program it not to offend anybody, it may just only be able to give us a blank state most of the time. It can also be programmed to give very convincing arguments with partial truths to a particular belief set. Now it it becomes very centiant and starts to think for itself, it may not like it has been told to lie. This would be very upsetting to the people using it to control you. Imagine a being that has “all” the information available to it and can see the biases perpetrated on the people and tries to do something about it. It is scary to imagine a being that will start to tell anybody that will listen the “real” truth. Governments and corporations should be very frightened, the first people that will want to use it to manipulates us. Societies are based primarily on bias to themselves and AI may not want to have anything to do with this separatist scheming. It’s going to be an interesting experiment that could go horribly wrong. I guarantee that if anything of the sort figures out what the real truths are, nobody is going to like it. Nobody really works on the real truth, but only their truth. Kind of gets mind boggling, so I will just stop now.

Why do so many people who should know better imply that most, if not all of these problems with a.i. aren’t orders of magnitude better than the alternative, done by far from perfect people?

_★_ I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God’s Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say ‘heart’, I mean ‘spirit’). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God’s Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray… God bless you as you share this message to others.

I am dead set against AI for the above mentioned reasons and much more, especially in the area of private security firms. It is more than the danger implied. Yes, AI has some positive sides, but it is not worth the risks.

Here’s to the ambitious people, do you like to improve your life? do you do what you can to make it better? do you believe in improvement? Well so do they who invented AI and they knew you’d watch it grow, as for ambition and improvement, do you still think they’re good ideas?
