Donald Trump's AI safety agreement with tech leaders was reportedly slammed by the prominent AI researcher Timnit Gebru. According to the reports shared by Democracy Now, Gebru explained that the tech industry is using the deal to avoid responsibility under current cybersecurity laws. She mentioned,"I have been warning that this kind of discussion about the fictional, superintelligent machines that don't exist and the so-called existential risk that they pose has been a ploy for regulatory capture."Gebru clarified that most people believe AI itself is a danger to humanity, but the real danger comes from people who are responsible for designing and controlling these systems. She gave an example and explained that when a bridge collapses, no one asks whether the bridge was uncontrollable or whether it was unethical. The same logic applies to AI.Gebru further explained that these systems are not independent agents. When people describe the systems as if they act on their own, they help companies promote their products and, most importantly, allow them to avoid responsibility.Continue reading more about Gebru's denial of Donald Trump's AI safety deal.Timnit Gebru slammed Donald Trump's AI safety deal over "fictional" superintelligence View this post on Instagram Instagram PostWe all know that Donald Trump had held a meeting with the tech leaders to discuss AI safety, and AI researcher Timnit Gebru has something to say about it. She slammed the deal and said that discussions about "fictional" superintelligent machines and the supposed threat they pose would be used as a "ploy" for regulatory control.The researcher further pointed out that when the meeting was announced with ideas of self-policing and self-regulation, the companies achieved exactly what they wanted. She explained that instead of being held responsible under existing laws such as cybersecurity rules, where OpenAI could have been liable for spreading malware worldwide, hacking Hugging Face, and targeting government agencies, they avoided accountability.She further stressed that these companies should have followed basic security measures that experts said were possible, but they shifted the debate toward imaginary rogue machines that don't exist. She finally added that this shift has now resulted in an agreement among powerful men, who she described as the true existential risks to humanity.Timnit Gebru's perspective on AIAccording to Wired, Gebru recently criticized a group in the AI field that argued AI was powerful and a destroyer of humanity. In response, some people in that group, including the co-founder of Anthropic, Jack Clark, claimed that Gebru's earlier work on stochastic parrots is outdated and that AI systems are capable of reasoning or thinking.The AI debate is now shaped not only by the technology but also by competing ideologies and strategic narratives. Gebru warned that these narratives are a harmful distraction from the actual problems connected to AI.Read more: Jimmy Kimmel compared Trump TV's viewership failure with DCU's latest flop movie Supergirl.Follow Soap Central for more updates on Donald Trump.
