While there are concerns about plagiarism, copyright infringement, and power consumption AI isn't inherently evil, it is the people who create and use it for malicious intent that make AI truly evil.

From the article: "The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has secured unprecedented access to at least seven sensitive federal databases, including those of the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration. This access has sparked fears about cybersecurity vulnerabilities and privacy violations. Another concern has received far less attention: the potential use of the data to train a private company’s artificial intelligence systems.
"The White House press secretary said government data that DOGE has collected isn’t being used to train Musk’s AI models, despite Elon Musk’s control over DOGE. However, evidence has emerged that DOGE personnel simultaneously hold positions with at least one of Musk’s companies.
"At the Federal Aviation Administration, SpaceX employees have government email addresses. This dual employment creates a conduit for federal data to potentially be siphoned to Musk-owned enterprises, including xAI. The company’s latest Grok AI chatbot model conspicuously refuses to give a clear denial about using such data.
"As a political scientist and technologist who is intimately acquainted with public sources of government data, I believe this potential transmission of government data to private companies presents far greater privacy and power implications than most reporting identifies. A private entity with the capacity to develop artificial intelligence technologies could use government data to leapfrog its competitors and wield massive influence over society."

Remember, they are all liars.

And once you have this data in your AI system, imagine the price you could get from China or Russia to give them access to that?
@BiSasquatch This is true of all human devised tech. In the hands of run away Capitalism, AI can easy destroy us. The number of disenfranchised humans grows by the hour because employers want to shed employees every chance they get. Not said as a critical response to your post.
@BiSasquatch @TheConversationUS AI is software that has a bunch of rules on which it bases decisions. Like, "king is to queen like man is to woman" and "doctor is to nurse like man is to woman" [sic] <-- what I recall from the book "Big Nine". The code at these different companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook/Meta, Intel, and Apple - GMAFIA) is probably written by an exclusive cohort of young, white, privileged men who possibly even knew each other at school in the early days of this technology (per the book).

Then layer after layer of code builds on top of these. Each layer inherits whatever subtle bias might exist from the previous layer.
If there is evil in the original code, then AI *is* inherit-ly evil.
