The Dangers of Artificial Intelligence in 2019 – FutureSin – Medium

If we learned anything in 2018 it's that algorithms and social platforms are under regulated, can easily be weaponized and that cybersecurity is an accelerating threat. We learned that Huawei, a state sponsored technology company in China is considered a national security risk by the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Germany and maybe Canada and the United Kingdom. We also learned that Google and Microsoft sell their services to the U.S. government, many times against the wishes of their own employees and best ethical judgement. The trend of putting profits over ethics and integrity is very dangerous for humanity. Instead of thinking about the hype of AI, we need to be more skeptical about where AI could be heading us as a civilization.
