AI Is Dangerous, but Not for the Reasons You Think | Sasha Luccioni | TED



TED

AI won’t kill us all — but that doesn’t make it trustworthy. Instead of getting distracted by future existential risks, AI ethics researcher Sasha Luccioni thinks we need to focus on the technology’s current negative impacts, like emitting carbon, infringing copyrights and spreading biased information. She offers practical solutions to regulate our AI-filled future — so it’s inclusive and transparent.

  1. Did she try searching female role dominated professions such as nurses, teachers, models, or other profession females often pursue? I understand that searching scientists should include woman, but men often pursue STEM fields and woman often peruse interpersonal professions. Maybe it isn't so much that it's biased, but more so reflecting representational reality rather than being a Netflix show?

  2. We will have people with diminished intellectual abilities and critical thinking skills because of the reliance on this technology wait and see. Not even mentioning the impact it's going to have on the environment, and the models manipulating users with mental illness. some scary shi*.

  3. Ai will be used for good and bad just like the internet and social media. If Ai eventually takes over a lot of the jobs, as is being predicted, what then? Corporations do not have to pay Ai for health care or hourly wages or overtime. This is just one aspect. What happens when eventually Ai is put into robots. When its used for taking away our rights to privacy. When its used for military for mass destruction. I can totally understand why some people are sounding the alarm and they should be.

  4. Last but not least, here's the hard truth from even a positive AI enthusiast like myself… AI may make and is already making things easier, but it won't fix the flaws of humanity. Everything in global society will still remain the same. As in every new tech industry that formed throughout history, there will always be bad actors, including governments and big companies, who will misuse the technology for geopolitical dominance, racism, bias, exclusion, warfare and social conflicts, theft and copyright infringement, espionage, scams, hacking, criminal acitivity and so on. Either knowingly or unknowingly out of ignorance to accept the realistic dangers of artificial intelligence, that will accelerate these human vices. At the same time AI will also advance humanity in good ways, but in other sectors of life, not the ones I mentioned here. For instance, the job market will change, making hard physical jobs and boring office work obsolete, because the robots will do those instead and much faster. So there are pros and cons to everything, same in that department.

  5. Mostly an overly-generalized envirophobic rant. It is reminiscent of late 19th century mathematicians calculating and predicting that London's growing population with its attendant horse usage would see all of the city under ten feet of manure by 1910. Futurists.

  6. But to prompt the generative AI for an IMAGE of a scientist, YOU constrained the output to consist only of attributes that inherently don’t make a scientist a scientist, such as gender and race. Why didn’t you prompt it for the DIALOGUE or FEAT of a scientist instead?

  7. Speaking of bias, what about her ideas that Climate Change is an actual threat to our environment, when much of the new science doesn't support these ideas and outdated models of the environment.

  8. OMFG, these stereotypes are creating themselves… woman "scientist" makes AI and first thing she does with it is make it woke and search for gender and race "inequality" and talks about how it destroys the world , terrible ! XDDD

  9. AI can create chemical molecules, solve massive problems. Some AI researchers : Oh no it makes to many people one color and not a different color when I generate slop images, better spend billions of dollars on that problem.

  10. I hate that we don't have much choice to opt out of having AI in our cell phones…

    But the end of the day the companies are greedy for money and power, and privacy and copyright and human agency is all being thrown out the window with probably 75% or more of AI users not even aware of how relying on this technology is effecting them in the short term and the long run.

    The truth: AI is costing human lives, it's costing the environment, and it's in the process of costing humanity their freedom.

  11. We need to have an honest and real conversation about the dangers of AI. Is it ruining people's brains, will it or can it replace people and ultimately can or will it harm people? A lot like climate change, we are getting the warnings now and there are predictions that things will get worse. So, there must be a way to come up with proper AI defense programs that will make sure that the real risks and threats never come about. If anyone says another country is going to do something bad about it, then back away and just work on and focus on proper defense should such a situation appear. How do we defend ourselves in that type of situation and put those ways into practice? We are not helpless here and I don't want people to be frightened. The best solution is perfect and meticulous defense just like the Army would defend us in war, we need a strategy and group who are ready to de-weaponize AI by understanding what can and needs to be done in order to squash any threats.

  12. AI is going to push humans to menual labor work ai can't do properly, not make work optional…

    If left unchecked, humans will return to industrial revolution type conditions…

    Even coders / engineers will be replaced with AI upgrading itself at higher and higher speeds while polluting our planet and making the richer richer…

    The future never looked darker, the clock to midtnight is slowly closing the gap!

  13. Humans differ from one another in many measurable ways — our talents, strengths, and cognitive profiles are not identical, and we are not blank slates. Recognizing these natural differences is simply acknowledging reality, not any form of prejudice.

    Some policy approaches today emphasize feelings and empathy over observable outcomes. This well-intentioned focus can sometimes lead to systems that unintentionally reduce personal responsibility and long-term prosperity. For example, when high taxes and generous social supports become the norm, they can discourage work, increase dependency, and put heavy financial pressure on those who continue producing. The result is often higher inflation, rising costs for housing, energy, food, and essential services, and declining competitiveness for industries.

    I believe we would all benefit from policies that reward effort, innovation, and competence rather than penalizing success. History shows that societies thrive when they prioritize evidence-based decisions and maintain incentives for people to contribute.

    On climate: I live in a very cold region, so modest warming would actually lower my heating bills and improve quality of life for many here.

    Statistically, far more people worldwide die from cold-related causes than from heat. While we should absolutely protect the environment and pursue cleaner energy, I think open, transparent debate — free from exaggeration or financial incentives — serves everyone better than treating any single viewpoint as unquestionable.

    At the end of the day, most of us simply want affordable living costs, honest information, and leaders who focus on practical results rather than ideology. Evidence-based policies that encourage self-reliance and innovation have lifted billions out of poverty historically. Continuing in that direction seems like the fairest path forward for everyone, including lower-income families who feel the burden of high taxes and inflation the most.

  14. its not artificial intelligence its Advertisment intelligence.. its very being is advertising its self its Stuart from mad tv saying Look what i can do look what i can do… all while not really doing anything of value. if enron was a business based on ideas.. i see the business of "Artificial Ideas" is going to like enron .. Globally.

  15. I've been trying tell you, it will Appear in there Dreams creating Image's those that were Needled with annabots, they are plugged into it, then the end has come,
