Do you think AI will have destructive consequences for democratic institutions in the future? (next 70 years)
For example, I'd like you to raise the issue of resource concentration. Larger AI models require more and more RAM. Ultimately, I believe the ultimate outcome of AI development will be that only the supercomputers of a few countries will be able to handle the best versions of AI.
This could lead, for example, to people's opinions being easily manipulated using these large AIs. That is, AIs could literally create cascades of events, edit news and media across the entire internet simultaneously, and literally force people to vote a certain way without them even noticing.
It used to seem like technology could help democratize countries, but now it seems like democracy will become a relic of the past in the era of singularity.
I know my thoughts are a bit far-fetched, but I believe I'm talking about the 21st century; all of this could happen within the next 70 years.
