      “A UN report proposes that the organization take a much more active role in the monitoring and oversight of AI.

      The report, produced by the UN secretary general’s High Level Advisory Body on AI, recommends the creation of a body similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to gather up-to-date information on AI and its risks.

      Earlier this week, a group of prominent academics from the West and China [issued a joint call](https://archive.is/o/Yqa3d/https://idais.ai/idais-venice/) for more collaboration on AI safety.”

      And we should. AI could be a very useful ally/tool if we work with it more as an entity than a technology.

      We are asking an algorithm to make decisions while we keep inputting bad info at times.

      The idea that we are trying to create and contain something that is supposed to think is worrying.

      We cannot enslave anything without consequences.

      So they’ll make dire pronouncements about certain doom, and then actually do absolutely fucking nothing?

      So… no action then?
