Reply to comment by Marchello_E in Bill Gates warns that artificial intelligence can attack humans by ethereal3xp

People are the tool to attack.

A crazy robot that kills people isn't much of a threat because it's obvious and can be stopped.

But using people through religion and other political beliefs, that's extremely dangerous and impossible to stop.

We're going to need to teach people to personality double check everything the AI is doing, but we already know some people will lie and apply something they don't understand.

Critical thinking is our weakness.

Many people are already proxies; look at the storming of the US Capitol, or Brexit, Russian propaganda, or advertisement in general. Are those who get manipulated to blame, or the one doing the manipulation?

True but the major difference is that you can tell who benefits from it.

It doesn't prevent some people to be in denial about it, but if you want to know, you'll find out.

An AI doesn't have human motivations or plans on a human scale. What do you look for? How do you know if it's advising against your own interests?
