As 2024 begins, there are concerns about the potential harms of artificial intelligence (AI).
Some of the ways AI could negatively impact us this year include more job losses, increased disinformation generation, annoyance in the entertainment industry, cloying enthusiasm from the tech world, and creepier police technologies.
AI has the potential to make government monitoring systems more powerful and comprehensive, leading to incursions against civil liberties.
On a lighter note, AI has also given rise to the term 'botshit,' which refers to the inaccurate or misleading content generated by AI.
In other news, an AI-fueled hologram of Elvis Presley will be used to perform a concert in London, and OpenAI is facing criticism for its low payments to news publishers.
