Two top Japan companies on AI: ‘Worst-case scenario social order could collapse’

Hindustan Times  

Japan’s largest telecommunications company and the country’s biggest newspaper said that there is a need for speedy legislation to restrain artificial intelligence as democracy and social order could collapse if AI is left unchecked. The companies said that AI tools have already begun to damage human dignity as they are sometimes designed to seize users’ attention without attention to morals or accuracy. The manifesto said that unless AI is restrained “in the worst-case scenario, democracy and social order could collapse, resulting in wars." The Yomiuri editorial in December noted the rush of new AI products coming from US tech companies and noted, “AI models could teach people how to make weapons or spread discriminatory ideas" citing risks from sophisticated fake videos that show politicians speaking.
