ai doesn't kill people, ai companies kill people
there are different degrees of responsibility (and accountability) for everyone involved. some are smaller, some are larger. but everyone shares some responsibility, even if it is infinitesimally small.
I don't have any good answer myself, but eager to hear what others think.
> TCP and HTTP protocols were primarily developed with funding and support from government agencies, particularly the U.S. Department of Defense and organizations like ARPA, rather than by non-profit entities. These protocols were created to facilitate communication across different computer networks
So um... yea?
So say the people who specified, implemented and deployed TCP and HTTP, should they be held responsible for aiding transmission of child pornography across international borders, for example?
I was just pointing out that information because I had thought that http was created by non profits/similar but It was HTML which was created in CERN
that being said, coming to the point, I think that no this shouldn't be the case for the people who specified TCP/HTTP
But also I feel like an AI researcher / the people who specified TCP are in a different categories because AI researcher companies directly work for AI companies which are then used so in a way, their direct company is facilitating that partially due to their help
On the other hand, People who have Specified Open source have no whatsoever relation similar to the AI company model perhaps.
I am not sure, there definitely is nuance but I would definitely consider AI researchers to be more than the people who created the specification of TCP/http as an example.
Tools are tools. It is what we make of them what matters. AI on its own has no intentions, but questions like these feed into that believe that there is already AGI with a own agenda waiting to build terminators.
