“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.”
In discussions surrounding Artificial Intelligence, citizens express a blend of enthusiasm and apprehension. A primary concern is the potential for AI to diminish human capacities and the inherent bias towards the most powerful, leading to concentrated control ⚖️. However, there's significant hope for AI to serve as augmented intelligence, expanding human abilities and unlocking unforeseen possibilities 💡.

“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.”
