The weaponization of AI is easily the greatest threat to the future of humanity.

Using algorithms to control public perception is disturbing enough, but new research indicates that AI is being used to create "The Science" that is directly impacting public policy -- and THAT is major issue!

If we do not understand this threat and sound the alarm, we are all going to be peacefully enslaved by these machines.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

Snip
Here’s the twist.

What if machines were making up The Science? What if Artificial Intelligence was entrusted to run and write the research that The Experts then promote?

Just to get granular here: Imagine an AI machine designing a study, directing experiments, deriving conclusions, and delivering research to government agencies that then used this “science” to determine and direct public policy.

What could go wrong?!

As absurd as it sounds, The Experts have been conducting this type of research for almost twenty years. It all started back in 2005, when The Experts were just punk graduate students at MIT who decided to program AI to generate some scientific reports. According to the scientific journal Nature, the experiment was an astounding success:

“[C]omputer scientist Cyril Labbé of Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, France, has catalogued computer-generated papers that made it into more than 30 published conference proceedings between 2008 and 2013. Sixteen appeared in publications by Springer, which is headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany, and more than 100 were published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), based in New York.”

So, the AI code was written at MIT back in 2005, and within just a few short years some 130 computer-generated research papers had been published in academic journals and referenced in scientific conference proceedings—and all of this was happening over ten years ago.

How much you want to bet that over the last decade they’ve only gotten better?
