Agents of manipulation (the real AI risk)

Join us in returning to NYC on June 5th to collaborate with executive leaders in exploring comprehensive methods for auditing AI models regarding bias, performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Find out how you can attend here.

They will do this using an extensive store of personal data about our individual interests and hobbies, backgrounds and aspirations, personality traits and political views — all with the goal of making our lives “more convenient.”

These agents will be extremely skilled. Just this week, Open AI released GPT-4o, their next generation chatbot that can read human emotions. It can do this not just by reading sentiment in the text you write, but also by assessing the inflections in your voice (if you speak to it through a mic) and by using your facial cues (if you interact through video).

This is the future of computing and it’s coming fast

The goal is to deploy an assistive AI that can interact conversationally with you while understanding what it sees and hears in your surroundings. This will enable it to provide interactive guidance and assistance in real-time.

And just last week, OpenAI’s Sam Altman told MIT Technology Review that the killer app for AI is assistive agents.
