The General Secretary of the United Nations has commented on Artificial Intelligence a few months ago, and has called for an "united, sustainable and global" solution to the "problem" of AI.
These are buzzwords that are so vague that one could have as well called for a Blue, Wet, Sunnyside-Up solution to AI.
Pangaea is the alternative to the UN, and as its Minister of Advancement I can't understand the UN's comment. I will instead say this:
Reports have come out that AI is, for lack of a better word, "stealing" jobs. AI is allegedly providing work that could crash human employment in several industries, such as Art and Entertainment.
At the same time, Pangaea is also aware of reports that those "AI" works are actually the works of over-exploited, under-paid asian people in what was best described as "data sweatshops". To avoid scandal, the very origin of the work is concealed and rebranded as "AI" work to consumers, some of which include defence agencies.
Where is the UN's comment on this matter? This represents a serious potential violation of human rights. And it could also be considered fraud, since the AI companies refuse to disclose how much work exactly is carried out by algorithm and how much is actually executed by people in those data sweatshops. Defence agencies should also be concerned about the potential data leaks from the sweatshops, which are located in Asian countries.
This being said, we are continuing our pause on Artificial Intelligence development. Pangaea's Ministry of Advancement was developing a true AI, one that's actually independent from any "data sweatshops", but we paused such development last year at the suggestion of Elon Musk, which we found reasonable. We will instead continue gathering public and experts' suggestions on the topic, so that we can proceed with a maximum of knowledge and wisdom in that area, if we as a democracy decide to proceed in that area at all.
