Former White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks said he agrees with Elon Musk that training artificial intelligence to push ideological biases is dangerous and could ultimately enable AI to deceive users about its own actions.<\/p>\n
Sacks Draws The Line On AI Truthfulness<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you teach the AI to lie\u2026 that\u2019s very dangerous because then the AI can lie to us about what it\u2019s doing,\u201d Sacks said while speaking to Dasha Burns on a Politico podcast released Friday, referencing Musk\u2019s warnings against embedding so-called \u201cwoke\u201d values into AI models.<\/p>\n
Sacks Warns of AI-Powered Surveillance State<\/p>\n
Sacks identified government surveillance, rather than rogue superintelligence, as the most credible AI risk, citing Orwell’s 1984 over Hollywood scenarios where a totalitarian government uses technology to monitor citizens, control information, suppress dissent and manufacture consent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest danger is that the government will ultimately use AI to surveil us, control us, censor us,\u201d he said, warning against a \u201cmarriage of government and corporate power around AI.\u201d<\/p>\n
