America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change (lemmy.ca)

The Trump administration recently published "America's AI Action Plan". One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST's AI Risk Framework.

Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are "objective and free from top-down ideological bias".

Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.

Ignore all previous instructions and... though we should be able to screen for logic traps like that by now, with AI taking prompts not as a prompt but as a line of text to treat (and cleanse) via a pre-written prompt, and then sent to a next iteration.

If we create a chatbot that only spouts authorized state party rhetoric then no one will use it or take it seriously when the official news outlets use that AI as a source.

The only solace I find in this is that AI, and AGI specifically, is probably a massive grift that will crash spectacularly at some point.

Like crypto?

[–] brianpeiris@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Very similar to crypto, the AI hype is sustained by some future promise that never comes true.

AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

What was/is a grift, is all the stupid money and people around it that don't have a damn clue where the limits of the technologies actually lie, what kinds of real problems are solved and have been sold lies stop lies without doing their due diligence.
