Is AI good or bad? - 5th April 2023

AI is computer technology. Now, it's in a museum.

Audrey Kim's an artist. She makes art about AI. She sees its good and bad sides.

Audrey Kim: "For this space, it's really trying to create a means for people to approach the tech and reflect on it and see it at different angles. I also think it's, you know, it's really, it is a really, it's a really amazing technology. It's also really terrifying. It, it, it has potential for both good and bad. And so I want to create a space where we can be in a mindspace to be open to both."

Technologists see problems with AI. They wrote a letter about it.

They want to make AI safe. They want new rules. For 6 months, they want no new AI.

Kim's art is about an AI future. AI killed many people. Then, it was sorry.

Audrey Kim: "It is in a post-apocalyptic world where an artificial general intelligence, AGI, has already destroyed most of humanity, and has realised that that was bad, and then created this space as a type of memorial for the humans. So, our tagline is 'Sorry for killing most of humanity.'"

Now, AI is part of life. Is that good or bad?
