Let's create creatures more complicated than ourselves and then give them domain over us. What could possibly go wrong?
The AI crisis is here, and it arrived when computation was added to our market system.
I think the solution is lots of smaller AIs -- distributed social media and financial services that will prevent the big shocks these black boxes of computation seem to generate. We already have the technology -- TensorFlow is open source, the chips are available. We just have to use them in a way that expands human freedom.
Is anyone writing about the political economy of AI? I can think of Byung-Chul Han's In the Swarm, but that's more about social media sans algorithmic moderation.
AI is almost certainly an easy scapegoat here. Vastly more likely one of Facebook's tens of thousands of human moderators is sympathetic to the Vietnamese government (or just their -type- of government) and wanted to hide a viral video of a devout Marxist eating a golden steak.
