Re: Open letter urging to pause AI

The status of scientific publication is relevant to this discussion.
I do not understand how a system that evolved organically and has its critics
can be successfully protected in law.
Since RDF, particularly Linked Data is the focus of these mailing lists, which
is relevant to the discussion on the possible deleterious disruption that AI is
causing, this seems germane.

Since it is given that all of us as members of the mailing lists of the W3C
actually READ  scientific publications, there are two special groups IN
PARTICULAR  that we should dialogue with, being academic publishers and
(scientific) libraries.
They are the gatekeepers and keepers of scientific knowledge respectively and
both play a crucial role in the UNESCO global ethical framework for AI.
Any direction and steering processes should start with these two groups and
international standards bodies, professional regulatory bodies and professional
associations.
Perhaps an idea to organize a conference on this?

This letter is nothing but hype. Emily Bender dissected the letter on Twitter
and put together the essence of it on Medium. I’d like to invite everyone to

I may not want to put it as bluntly as Elon Musk, who cautioned against
unregulated AI which he called "more dangerous than nukes", but when Nick
Bostrom, the late Stephen Hawking, and dozens, no hundreds of international
experts, scientists and industry leaders start ringing the bell, is is time to
pause and reflect.
Every aspect of daily life, every industry, education systems, academia and even
our cognitive rights will be impacted.
I would also like to point out that some science fiction authors have done a
great job on very accurately predicting a dystopian future ruled by technology,
perhaps the greatest of them all being Philip K. Dick.
But there are dozens of other authors as well and they all give a fairly good
impression what awaits us if we do not regulate and control the further
development of AI now.
