The development of AI

 

Snapchat logo. Snapchat's AI robot worries: "Children become guinea pigs"  

 

More than every ten Danish children between the ages of 9 and 14 have chosen to write with Snapchat's AI bot "My AI" instead of with real friends, Danmarks Radio reports.  

 

Ten percent have written with the AI bot about topics they find difficult, something that worries Save the Children. In some cases, it has given worrying answers when it comes to questions about self-harm behaviour, says Per Frederiksen at the organisation.  

 

At the same time, he states that the product is not fully developed. 

 

- This makes the children guinea pigs in Snapchat's experiments. 

 

Snapchat states that security is a priority issue and that they have taken measures

Analysis: “Where are all the AI godmothers?”  

 

75 percent of the more than 700 Open AI employees who signed a letter of protest against CEO Sam Altman's dismissal were men, writes The Guardian's Luba Kassova in an analyzing text. She wonders how it is that you read so much about AI's "godfathers", but so rarely about any godmothers.  

 

Since Altman returned to the company, the new board consists exclusively of white men, she also asserts. 

 

"Concerns have been expressed about the long-term threat AI poses to humanity, but what are the immediate risks of a world that reflects predominantly male perspectives?" writes Kassova. 

 

Alice Nunwick writes in an analysis in Verdict that women run a higher risk of being replaced by AI at work, but rarely hold leading positions within the companies that develop the technology.
