But, in the new world (this dystopia we're existing in right now), free lunches for AI owners are all the rage. It's patently obvious in the total onslaught by owners of cloud-based AI who are stealing IP, company video meetings, home footage, biometrics, privacy-protected data, government data, voice samples, trade secrets, etcetera, hand over fist.
AGI won't have the moral obligation to know social norms and criminal distinction, because it learns behavioral patterns from specific (always-connected) human samples only. Meaning, AGI would become the greatest disruptor of society in terms of norm-based enforcement of biased religion, morality, criminality, punishment, control, birth control, social segregation, compliance, enforcement, war and gender alignment. All in all, AGI would just become another weaponizable technology in the hands of megalomaniacs. Why society at large (the world) believe they have no right to self regulation, protection and preservation, blows me away. I can only blame it on poverty, oppression, corruption, addiction, brainwashing and drug-induced confusion. I can't find one good reason why greater society (the world nations) would all be ok with artificial control of their humanity and sources of life by tyrants.
