    The biggest risks I see with AI are making misinfomation, scams etc. a lot easier.

    I remember as a kid you knew that people could just make stuff up, but a photograph was fairly reliable. Then along came Photoshop and it was trivial to make convincing fake photographs.

    AI is able to do this with audio, soon with full video (perhaps already?) - so then it becomes much harder to trust anything.











  • I find it slightly sad that when our leaders talk of Technology and Innovation - they often mean these ‘tech’ companies that essentially work out how to better sell advertising and occasionally provide a useful service alongside this.

    Where is the Bell Labs? The Skunk Works?

    We have incredible problems facing us such as Climate Change and decarbonisation seems like it will be a very difficult challenge. And yet we focus on banal “innovation” in frivolous things.
