Degenerative AI?

Greetings, list-

Something to read and comment  for the week
https://casmi.northwestern.edu/news/articles/2024/degenerative-ai-the-risks-of-training-systems-on-their-own-data.html

and
a brief welcome to those who recently joined, with a pointer to the mailing
list archive to catch up with topics being shared. and a wiki page to post
meeting agendas  https://www.w3.org/community/aikr/

some thoughts:
 The CG was formed at the time when ML (machine learning) was taking a life
of its own, and was being decoupled from logic and reasoning, triggering
alerts in the community that the world was being taken over by intelligent
but spurious machines

 (AI) are being used to systematically deviate truth and manipulate systems
from within

This is the history of humanity, and AI is only a part of it,
We can only remain vigilant and try to understand what is going on
despite confounding and information overload,

Look forward to CG  best ideas for a better world  and a meeting agenda to
discuss explainability, as suggested by DR and CM
