AI WARTECH - Has technology turned to the dark side?
Manage episode 466402964 series 1728025
Originally broadcast on Radio New Zealand's Nine to Noon on 13 February 2025
Last week Google amended its ethical AI policies to allow their AI tools to be used in weapons - to preserve 'national security'. They're among the last to embrace a new market for their products - defense and weapons. Is this a new thing? Or is tech simply returning to its roots as a service industry for the military-industrial complex? Is this why the US and UK refused to sign an international AI declaration this week? Plus - why does leading AI company Anthropic insist job applicants write their submissions - without the help of AI?
The Next Billion Seconds with Mark Pesce is produced by Ampel and Myrtle and Pine
