Multiple Studies Now Suggest That AI Will Make Us Morons

The amorphous community of humans connected by the inter-web I guess?

As is often the case with any new tech innovation utility, novelty and the promise of great things to come are always mixed with possibilities of misuse, and danger.

But then, If I don’t agree with the issue for reasons only known to me, then I am not part of the we/us?

i was just kidding above..but you know when you hear " What they dont tell you" etc..its usually a nice and theoretical discussion but nothing ever gets.
Even here we can all agree yes we need to do something but who will do , what and when never gets worked out !

I did suspect that Arjun.
There is an element of truth in all good humor and I felt you alluded to a deeper question:
Why do we feel the need to engage on some issues more than others?

A recent incident brought this question to the fore. Garbage has been piling up on the public side walk just outside the compound wall where I rent an apartment. I tried requesting the management committee to clear it up but no one replied. Feeling a bit frustrated I sent a message on the group chat saying I would be cleaning up the place and invited others to join. Surprisingly the place did get cleaned up next day thanks to the MC. I am guessing many were waiting for “the government to do something” as it was a public area.
I am not sure what I learned from this incident but it feels good to see the place clean.

Green Light for AI, Orange for Rights

“…The final Guidelines go further in specifying these as “alternative mechanisms” for accountability self-certifications, internal policies, peer review, and technical safeguards rather than immediate legal obligations. They envisage a sequence in which firms (a) first adopt voluntary commitments, (b) publish red-teaming results or impact assessments, and (c) subject themselves to (i) public, (ii) peer and even (iii) parliamentary scrutiny; only if this proves inadequate over the next 9-12 months would MeitY consider converting some of these into mandatory requirements. IFF’s submission to MeitY had warned that this heavy reliance on self-regulation is structurally ill-suited to protecting rights. We had pointed to global scholarship showing that high-level ethical principles such as transparency, accountability, and fairness often remain aspirational without statutory backing, concrete enforcement tools, and independent oversight.…”

Interesting interview with Peter Leyden draws on decades of observing technological revolutions and historical patterns to show how old systems collapse, new ones rise, and humanity faces both extraordinary risk and unprecedented opportunity.
