Letter: I’m more concerned about AI development than the U.S. becoming an oligarchy – InForum


Much has been said about the tech billionaires at Trump’s inauguration. I, like others, am concerned that we are moving closer to an oligarchy with all these wealthy people so close to President Trump.

But where I part company with many, I am glad our leaders in technology have the ear of President Trump when it comes to artificial intelligence.

I believe our future as a society and a country is at stake if our adversaries (mainly China) beat us in the full development of AI. This may sound like science fiction, but it is here and now.

Remember the Manhattan Project, the World War II atomic bomb project aimed at developing the first nuclear weapons to prevent Nazi Germany from acquiring them first. Experts a lot smarter than me are warning that the full development of AI, is much bigger than the Manhattan Project.

I, for one, want our best and brightest working on the development of AI. We must beat our adversaries in this development. I believe those tech billionaires at the Trump inauguration should be at the front of AI development with the United States government.

Social media and artificial intelligence are here to stay. I am not excited about the opportunity for Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg to make billions more from AI, but I am more concerned that China may one day control access to our national security, military defense, and personal lives.

We are so dependent on technology 24/7 that our country needs bright-minded Americans to win the biggest challenge ahead: the race for the full development of artificial intelligence.

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my deep concern about the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential consequences for society. While the possibility of the United States becoming an oligarchy is certainly troubling, I believe that the unchecked advancement of AI poses an even greater threat to humanity.

AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, improve efficiency, and enhance our quality of life. However, there are also significant risks associated with its development. From job displacement to ethical dilemmas surrounding AI decision-making, the implications of a world dominated by intelligent machines are vast and complex.

As we continue to push the boundaries of AI technology, it is crucial that we prioritize ethics, transparency, and accountability in its design and implementation. We must also consider the potential impact of AI on our economy, social structures, and individual freedoms.

While the rise of oligarchy in the U.S. is certainly a cause for concern, I believe that the potential consequences of unregulated AI development are even more alarming. As a society, we must come together to address these issues and ensure that AI is developed in a way that benefits all of humanity, rather than just a select few.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
