The global dictatorship will tighten by inducing and exploiting the fear of Artificial Intelligence, according to a false narrative circulating in the Romanian media.

Artificial intelligence is dangerous, but the occult only says so to control humanity

NEWS: According to the already familiar model launched in the fight to "combat fake news", accredited teams of "factcheckers", specialized in AI, will appear to verify, judge and decide the authenticity of various posts on the Internet. Obviously, under the pretext of defending Democracy and combating external attacks by hostile dictatorships, which aim to destabilize the West. Well, the "factcheckers" will be able to determine that, while the image of Trump kissing Fauci is authentic, the thousands of pictures of Hunter Biden having sex with minors are the creation of Artificial Intelligence and disinformation from Russia or China. No one will be able to protest. No one will be able to challenge their decision. The (justified) fears of AI will be used not to combat abuses, but to intensify Dictatorship. The scenario is well known: a danger is created, the population is terrified, after which the "authorities" come to the rescue. Under the pretext of the State of Emergency, the "Truth" is once again left to be decided by "experts". The fist that was thrust into our mouths three years ago is sinking even deeper down our throats.

NARRATIVES: 1. Under the pretext of protecting the population from artificial intelligence, the globalist elites will implement new restrictive measures. 2. Artificial intelligence represents a danger to humanity, possibly leading to its extermination.

CONTEXT: Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of devices to correctly interpret external data, learn from it, and use what they have learned to achieve their goals. AI began to be researched and developed in the mid-50s of the last century, and in the late 90s it started to be used in various fields such as logistics, statistics, economics, mathematics and even medical diagnostics.

At the same time, important steps were also taken in sports or entertainment so that, in 1997, Deep Blue, a computer dedicated exclusively to the game of chess, built by IBM, defeated the world champion Garry Kasparov, and in 2011, in a demo edition of a general knowledge competition show, Watson, a question-answering system also built by IBM, easily defeated the two biggest champions in the show's history. Slowly, AI has become more and more present in everyday life, from "personal assistants" in smart phones, to systems for personalizing users' online experience, generating an increasingly acute need to regulate the use of this type of technology.

However, with the release last year of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence application that mimics human language, a trend has also emerged stating that AI is as dangerous as pandemics and nuclear war, and several IT experts have signed an open letter calling for a halt to the development of the next generation of AI.

PURPOSE: To promote the anti-Western sovereignist discourse, diminish the population's trust in the authorities, to provoke and amplify social tensions.

AI law restricts AI, not people

WHY THE NARRATIVES ARE FALSE: The European Parliament is the first legislative body in the world to adopt a law on artificial intelligence, but in no case does this fact imply the establishment of restrictive measures on the population. The legislation, applicable exclusively to this technology, will guarantee that AI developed and used in Europe "fully respects the rights and values ​​of the European Union, including with regard to human supervision, safety, privacy, transparency, non-discrimination and social and environmental well-being".

Taking an approach based on ranking the potential risks of using AI, the legislation will prohibit, for example, contrary to the alarmist predictions of conspiracy theorists, systems that classify people based on social behavior or personal characteristics. And despite the prediction that "eventually, “factcheckers” will be able to determine" the truth, AI systems like ChatGPT will need to disclose when content has been generated by AI, including to help distinguish "deep fake" images from real ones and introduce safeguards against the generation of illegal content.

At the same time, providers of general-purpose AI systems will have to assess and mitigate possible risks to health, safety, fundamental rights, the environment, democracy and the rule of law and register their designs in the Union's database before launching them on the European market. The accusations launched by the "free speech fighters" regarding AI-induced censorship are nonsense, given that conspiracy theories or Russian propaganda related to the invasion of Ukraine are going viral exponentially. In fact, the conspiracy theorists' fear seems to be related to the speed with which false narratives will be exposed rather than actual censorship.

As for the dangers that lie in wait for humanity with the accelerated development of AI systems, several specialists argue that the apocalyptic warnings are exaggerated. In their opinion, the fears are unrealistic and represent a distraction from other, more practical and immediate-effect issues, such as   student homework done with the help of AI, the generation of falsified audio-video productions, or the exploitation of people's online behavior for commercial purposes.

The risk of artificial intelligence using, for example, drug discovery tools to build chemical weapons exists, but ultimately, this would only be a theoretical approach, its implementation requiring human intervention. In the same way, the creation and spread of disinformation and fake news by AI is possible, but for them to have an effect, the human factor is needed again, to accept them and act according to them. AI programs are essentially tools made to be used by humans.
