    What people in Massachusetts are saying

    3 neighbours have shared what matters to them — in their own words.

    “What excites me most about AI is really what I call augmented intelligence. That it may help us expand our capacities and help us do things that we haven't even imagined so far. Unfortunately, this is also what I'm most concerned about AI. That it will instead of augmenting it, diminish our capacities. Not just because we will offload our mind to AI, but also because there will be forces that are deliberately extractive and want to control our minds. But hope is greater than fear in this case for me.”

    What the community is telling us🌤️ Mixed

    Nearby, the main topics are centered around the future impact of Artificial Intelligence. There are significant concerns that AI could diminish human capacities and be exploited by forces seeking to control minds. A critical worry is AI's inherent bias as a capital-intensive technology, potentially centralizing control among the most powerful and limiting access for the general public. 😟 Despite these apprehensions, there is also strong hope for AI's potential as augmented intelligence, capable of expanding human capabilities and enabling unforeseen achievements. 💡 The desire is to harness its transformative power responsibly. 🚀

    “One big worry of mine when it comes to AI is that it being the most capital intensive technology in human history, it is intrinsically biased in favor of the most powerful, richest that almost no one else will really have access to the full capacity. And so it will be controlled by them. And we know what happens when the powerful control our lives.”
