I see this as social manipulation at it's max.
Social Media will just become another tug of war, full of lies, to the other side, --- with all participants allowing someone else's biases to move their thinking to the right or left, --- politically and religiously speaking.
Can one program a computer to have a 50-50 bias?
Who will be the judge between right and left?
Programmers hold much power.
Who do programmers and code writers call God or King?

1. How can AI have the biases of the programmer?

AI is built and programmed by humans, who inevitably have their own biases and perspectives. These biases can be consciously or unconsciously embedded into the AI algorithms, resulting in biased decision-making and actions.

2. Can AI develop its own biases?

While AI does not have the capability to develop its own biases, it can reinforce and amplify the biases of its programmer. This is known as algorithmic bias, where the AI learns and perpetuates the biases present in the data it is trained on.

3. Does this mean AI is self-aware?

No, having biases does not equate to self-awareness. AI is programmed to recognize patterns and make decisions based on those patterns, whereas self-awareness involves consciousness and introspection.

4. Is there a way to prevent biased AI?

Efforts are being made to mitigate biased AI, such as using diverse and representative data sets, regular testing and auditing of AI systems, and involving diverse teams in AI development. However, complete elimination of bias in AI may not be possible as long as humans are involved in its creation.

5. How can we ensure ethical use of AI?

Ethical guidelines and regulations are being developed to govern the use of AI and prevent harmful or discriminatory actions. It is important for AI developers, users, and regulators to actively consider and address ethical concerns in the development and implementation of AI systems.
