Comment on The Panopticon Is Already Here

Comments

It’s a good, chilling read but this sentence right at the end bothered me.

“Until they secure their personal liberty, at some unimaginable cost, free people everywhere will have to hope against hope that the world’s most intelligent machines are made elsewhere.”

I don’t agree, with the “right” people in charge, the intelligent machines pose a risk to humankind everywhere.

I agree with that intelligent machines pose a risk regardless of who has the best intentions, but its also true that certain countries (namely china) have demonstrated that they are more willing and motivated to use it for devious surveillance purposes.
