@HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 Why are governments embracing AI? Because they value corporate profits over the wellbeing of their citizenry (IMO). They fear a massive financial drain if they aren't competitive with the US in encouraging AI replacement of human workers. Also, they fear even greater dependence on US-based technology dependence. But what will society be with mass unemployment and hallucinating machines making most decisions?

@TCatInReality I suspect that there's a lot of political and financial pressure to adopt US corporate technology generally and AI is a big part of that because of the huge investments. It's a big gamble. @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6

@TCatInReality @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 it reminds me of Asbestos Implementation, all for da greater good till afterwards the toxicity is all that proves itself & billions get wasted again on securely removing it ... when someone screams "we must" the answer ought to be ""WHY ..?"
