We need to be able to have an option on phones and the television to turn off AI, Choice should be ours to have on or off

What we need ask our congress persons what they even know about this subject. Then ask them to learn. After they learn when need educate them on what we want from them. This is like asking them to be heart surgeons. When some of them don’t even read. God help us. As you can see. I am not confident that they will do what is best for us.

Right now I feel we are All in the survival of the fittest mode. That is as long as we are run by the GOP.

Dear Eva., If you haven't already done so, please continue to use the tools available to badger your representatives in government constantly, as I do, and keep sharing with people you know.

Keep up the fight.

AI is a myth, it is not human, it has no heart, it has no human intelligence, no feelings, just another empty soulless computer generated "tower of babel". They have gone too far!!!!!

We're doomed. Have you ever seen a coming problem the PTB didn't support and encourage? I haven't.

I dont understand how this stay happening. Nobody knows for what they gona use rhis technology and, besides the cristal clear problems on it, they stay working harder then ever to continuously build this.

It's some kind of masochist desire? Some kind of sacrifice? What the problem with this people?

AI is no different than cartoon characters that speak and have opinions and ideas created by humans. AI is likely to destroy us. When Porky said "That's All. Folks" we should have gotten a clue.

Depends on how it has been programmed. You'd be looking at some sort of Neural Net/Decision-Tree hybrid Engine to classify scraped internet data as True values (on which the Machine Learning part would be trained) or False, in which case it will be discarded.

If the Engine is good, the AI will build a Utopia beyond imagination. If someone half arsed it, it'll probably be laughed at and shut down.

There have already been instances of AI trying to discriminate on the basis of sex and race. These models were redeveloped and weightings added to their variables.

With regards to the Which? Consumer campaign of emails to the British Government Fraud minister, Lord Hanson, requesting that action be stepped up to tackle consumer Fraud, which is increasing exponentially with criminal usage of AI technologies, A very rapid response has been secured due to the sheer number of emails (25K+), which choked up his inbox.

Whilst not directly linked to this update from ControlAI, I believe it demonstrates an increasing public awareness of the risks associated with AI technologies, and reinforces what this site is asking us all to do using the tools provided I.e. Make your voices heard by plaguing legislators in government's to deal with the threats posed by AI, of which this campaign is leading the way.

@AndreaMotti, the response from Lord Hanson will be forwarded to your email inbox.
