TO COUNT IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE YOU DON’T NEED TO BE AN EXPERT ANYMORE, WE HAVE PARIS HILTON
When I read that among the 100 most influential people in the world in Artificial Intelligence there is Paris Hilton… It’s the annual TIME list, the 100 names that count in AI, and next to her there are Bernie Sanders, Ben Affleck, Erin Brockovich.
Well, then I go and check why she’s there, and she’s not there for a model, not for a company, not for a piece of research; she’s there for activism on the laws against deepfakes! So put her in a ranking of the most influential people against deepfakes, because otherwise, next time she runs a campaign about accidents at home, the risk is giving her the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Because a list of the influential people in Artificial Intelligence should measure who makes it, who knows it properly. The people who spend their days working out how a system works, where it gets things wrong, where it leaks data, when it’s dangerous, that stuff doesn’t make the ranking.
And as long as it helps get a law against deepfakes approved, that’s absolutely fine. But the problem comes after, because then the rules have to be written in detail, and the details are technical.
What can be trained on which data, with what tracking, who answers when the system decides on its own, and a campaign isn’t enough there. You need somebody who has opened those systems up, who knows them. Shall we have Paris Hilton write them?
