Artificial Intelligence to become Judge, Jury and Executioner
Artificial intelligence is being weaponized across all facets of life, and Google’s recent change of principles is a sign of things to come.
Last week, Google revised its artificial intelligence principles, removing the company’s stance against using AI to develop weapons or technologies or directly facilitate injury to people, or for surveillance that violates internationally accepted norms.
Google’s AI head Demis Hassabis said the guidelines were being overhauled in a changing world and that AI should protect national security.
Furthermore, Big Tech platforms have been extensively used for data and intelligence-gathering activities worldwide. This is a reason why China has banned many US Big Tech software and apps. A nation cannot be sovereign if it is beholden to Big Tech!
As for Google changing its guidelines on AI, this should not come as a surprise.
Big Tech was actively promoting universal AI governance models through various high-profile institutional shills, United Nations agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s), think tanks and national governments.
The same playbook was deployed to push Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) schemes worldwide – imposing heavy costs on developing nations and corporations alike. Now, the USA and Big Capital are ditching the very ESG schemes they had devised.
Unfortunately, many nations fell for these ploys, investing significant money and resources into building fanciful ESG and AI frameworks. These nations risk becoming permanently dependent on Big Tech under what I call AI Neo-colonialism.
Alphabet’s Google and YouTube, Microsoft’s Bing and Elon Musk’s X have long weaponized their platforms before this recent change in AI policy.
Big Tech’s search algorithms have been weaponized to erase dissenters and contrarian platforms from the digital landscape, effectively imposing a modern-day damnatio memoriae.
I have to use the Russian search engine Yandex in order to retrieve my old articles.
It must be noted that one of the most profitable and future-proof sectors, with guaranteed returns on investments, is the Military-Industrial Complex. Weaponizing AI and making AI-powered weapons is just a natural course of action for Big Tech.
It is also quite telling that the leaders of the two AI superpowers — the United States and China — skipped the recent Paris AI Summit. The event devolved into a scripted talk shop orchestrated by Big Tech.
Alongside the United Kingdom, the United States also refused to sign the declaration on making AI safe for all. Clearly, this event was staged to suppress AI innovation in developing nations while legitimizing the weaponization of AI by major powers.
An entity like Google cannot conduct any kind of AI research as its activities have to conform to the diktats of its primary stakeholders. Google formalized its new weaponization policy because the public’s stake in its ownership pie is virtually nonexistent.
There are other vexing issues to consider here: How does one define AI war crime within an international legal framework? Is it even possible to come up with a universal consensus.
The operator of an armed drone responsible for wiping out scores of civilians might pin the disaster on an AI glitch. The software running the drone itself may have algorithms sourced from various private entities across the world.
Who should shoulder the blame in the event of a war crime? The operator, the vendor responsible for software integration or the entity whose algorithm was used or adapted for targeting?
Realistically, it should be the antagonist nation but never bet the farm on restitution if the culprit happens to be the United States or a close ally like Israel.
Last but not least, governments worldwide acted as co-conspirators in Google’s use of AI to censor dissenting scientific viewpoints and contrarian research findings during the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.
In doing so, they have effectively handed Big Tech permanent leverage to blackmail them.
If Google provided AI tools to the IDF, it would have done so under directives from the US deep state. A nominally civilian entity cannot unilaterally supply sensitive AI tools for wartime use to any foreign power, allied or otherwise.
Logically speaking, Google’s participation in the Gazan carnage should result in a massive boycott by member states of the Organization of Islamic States (OIC).
But this will never happen as too many politicians, technocrats and academics in the OIC are beholden to US patronage.
The ongoing USAID scandal is just the tip of the iceberg, revealing the extent of international subversion at play. The rail guards of merit, bias and non-discrimination are also virtually non-existent in the OIC bloc, although they form the pillars of AI governance.
The bigger question however is this: Why did the IDF’s AI-coordinated border security system fail to detect Hamas’ military activities in the lead-up to the October 7 2024, cross-border attacks?
The system is equipped with multiple sensors and detection tools across land, sea, air, and underground — making the failure even more perplexing, or was it an inside job?
In the final analysis, AI is being weaponized across all facets of human life, including religion, and US Big Tech is leading the way.
Ultimately, under certain circumstances in the future, AI may be used to act as the judge, jury and executioner. It may decide who is worthy to live, and who is not.
