Generative artificial intelligence have the potential to create enormous social costs without any significant social benefits
A robot appears on stage as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivers a keynote address during the Nvidia GTC Artificial Intelligence Conference at SAP Center on March 18, 2024 in San Jose, Calif..Increasingly, generative AI seems like a waste of our collective time and money. While generative AI technologies, like ChatGPT, have some playful uses, they potentially come with enormous social costs and limited social benefit.
Understanding generative AI as probabilistic systems highlights the social costs that follow from their development. Then there’s the fact that AI is underpinned by significant capital investment in computing infrastructure. AI is built on the back of fibre optics, servers, data centres, etc. We can see the cost of this in Big Tech’s corporate reports, which highlight the billions they’ve spent and are spending on this infrastructure. Big Tech now controls much of our computing capacity , but we will need to invest considerably more to make AI commercially viable as an everyday technology.
