Rapid Advancements in Technology: Are Things Going too Fast?
The Voice of Islam DriveTime Show Podcast dated 06-06-2023 discussed technology from self-driving busses to enhanced AI chatbots and asks, "Have we considered the ethics and implications AI is having on the very fabric of society and how we work?"
Brian Green, director, technology ethics joined the discussion at 1:11:13 and talks about the present and future of technology advancements and morals and ethics and human values.
"One of the big things to keep in mind is that artificial intelligence is already very much in social media and on the internet in order to direct our attention toward particular things to see and this is very clear when it comes to advertising but comes up a lot with misinformation, political information and information related to ethics and values trying to manipulate how we think about things. And if you can change the way people think about things you can change the way they act in the world, so these things will be impactful on the world in changing the ways people think. How are we going to try and maintain our own kind of thinking when we have social media and other forms of media trying to direct us in particular ways?"
