Public trust in AI is sinking across the board - eviltoast

Trust in AI technology and the companies that develop it is dropping, in both the U.S. and around the world, according to new data from Edelman shared first with Axios.

Why it matters: The move comes as regulators around the world are deciding what rules should apply to the fast-growing industry. “Trust is the currency of the AI era, yet, as it stands, our innovation account is dangerously overdrawn,” Edelman global technology chair Justin Westcott told Axios in an email. “Companies must move beyond the mere mechanics of AI to address its true cost and value — the ‘why’ and ‘for whom.’”

      AI doesn’t exist currently, that’s what LLMs are currently called. Also they have been successfully used for this and show great promise so far, unlike the hallucinating chatbot.

        AGI Artificial General Intelligence doesn’t exist that is what people think of in sci-fi like Data or Hal. LLM or Large Language Models like CHAT GPT are the hallucinating chat bots, they are just more convincing than the previous generations. There are lots of other AI models that have been used for years to solve large data problems.

          Pretty much anything Google is giving me says they are using deep learning LLMs in biology.
