It’s difficult to see how artificial intelligence systems work, and to see whose interests they work for. Regulation could make AI more trustworthy. Until then, user beware.

If you ask Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant AI system, whether Amazon is a monopoly, it responds by saying it doesn’t know. It doesn’t take much to make it lambaste the other tech giants, but it’s silent about its own corporate parent’s misdeeds.

    While I do hate Amazon, this example is not the reason to “distrust” AI. This corporate subversion is really easily detected and therefore easily avoided. The real concerns with AI, in my opinion, are where it interfaces with the physical world.
