Sovereign AI is designed to drive investment and deepen dependencies rather than reduce them.

Before briefly visiting the German government's annual digital summit tomorrow, I have to do some debunking: First, ‘sovereign AI’ is designed to drive investment and deepen, not reduce dependencies. Second, some consider ‘safe AI’ a basis for broad alliances from the ultra-right to the left. But 'safe AI' sells the quest for a 'well-meaning superintelligence' to downplay today's devastating impacts of the 'AI' project. We need to be careful when picking our allies. 👇 https://www.structural-integrity.eu/make-ai-safe-and-sovereign-dispersing-the-smokescreens-in-tech-policy/

@alineblankertz debunks the myth of sovereign AI. "designed to drive investment and deepen, not reduce dependencies. It ... more concentration of power with nationalist framing. Second, ‘AI safety’ is ... for broad alliances from ultra-right... to leftist... In particular, ‘safe AI’ is designed to undermine any criticism of today’s harms of ‘AI’ in order to transform resistance into a quest for designing ‘the well-meaning superintelligence’." #ai #digitalsovereignty https://www.structural-integrity.eu/make-ai-safe-and-sovereign-dispersing-the-smokescreens-in-tech-policy/
