My party is trying their best to understand and implement AI and it's causing some friction within the party. The official stance that is now adopted is the one of 'we need to understand it and use it to our advantage' and 'we need to prevent AI being solely a thing of the ruling class' and to me that makes sense. I wasn't around at the time but I imagine it was the same with the coming of the internet some decades ago and we can see how that ended. I hope socialist orgs don't miss the boat this time.
I think that's precisely the correct stance. As materialists we have to acknowledge that this technology exists, and that it's not going away. The focus has to be on who will control this tech and how it will be developed going forward.
Is there any reading that I can do, around those discussions? Any debate? I would like to read more about those deliberations if possible
AFAIK nothing has been published (yet) but I will post it as soon as we do
Thank you
I think this is the best approach. I'm still wary, but this is the viewpoint I've been coming to understand.
The difference is the internet wasn't built on theft with the explicit goal of disempowering workers
not many people know this, but DARPA created it out of love and kindness
But neither is AI. It is not sentient. It is pushed in the direction of the ones controlling it. Which currently is the tech oligarchy. Realising that and trying to find a way to navigate that will put you at an advantage.
