In this episode, host Michael Marchuk talks with Susie Alegre, a leading international human rights lawyer and author, about the impact of technology on human rights and the potential dangers of AI. She highlights the manipulative nature of recommender algorithms and the potential for AI to replace human connections. Susie also explores the issues of automation bias and copyright infringement in AI models. She emphasizes the importance of protecting human creativity and the need to consider the environmental and ethical implications of AI. Ultimately, she argues that our humanity should be prioritized over the advancement of AI.
Here’s what we talked with Susie about:
-Recommender algorithms can be manipulative and shape the way we think by curating information based on our tastes and vulnerabilities.
-AI models, such as generative AI, are extractive in nature, mining human creativity and exploiting human labor while contributing to environmental degradation.
-Automation bias can lead to blind trust in AI systems, which can have serious consequences, such as incorrect legal analysis or potential nuclear disasters.
-Copyright infringement is a significant issue in AI, as models are often trained on copyrighted materials without proper consent or compensation for creators.
-It is crucial to protect human creativity and consider the ethical and environmental implications of AI, as well as prioritize human connections and relationships over AI substitutes.
