Journalist warns of AI dangers, calls for gov't intervention

Rappler's Social Good Summit highlighted the significant dangers posed by artificial intelligence and emphasized the necessity for government intervention.

British journalist Carole Cadwalladr, who uncovered the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal, stated that the world has failed to hold technology accountable for its potential weaponization and abuse.

Cadwalladr expressed deep concern regarding OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, citing their alleged unethical business practices.

She specifically criticized OpenAI's business model, the conduct of its CEO, and the company's appropriation of intellectual property from journalists and artists without consent or compensation.

Cadwalladr asserted that these practices infringe upon human rights and called for a re-evaluation of digital rights as fundamental human rights that must be actively defended.
