AI will be truly dangerous.. if left to a few AI programmers | Loulou Van Ravensteijn | TEDxAntwerp

The sooner we pass laws to restrict AI potential and install self-destruct switches, the better.

I'm not a doomer but I doubt the law is going to have any real impact. The arts ultimately feel un-ownable. There's nothing new under the sun. Good artist borrow, great artists steal. Many creative professions have already become commercially nonviable already. My mother was a manual typesetter, digital design replaced her. I don't see why music is exempt from the insatiable march of consumerism. People will still enjoy seeing musicians play live music until some other modality becomes a more rewarding experience. If I were a professional musician, I would be eventually worried about robots learning to play instruments than AI imitating humans playing instruments. Being concerned about Copyright is fundamentally going to be a bad time. We have seen disenfranchisement over and over again and I'm not understanding why Generative AI is going to be different: people pirated cassette tapes, CDs, Mp3s, BitTorrent, streaming, and now Generative AI. Writing, music, film, it's all irrevocably changing as we speak and the world in 20 years might be unrecognizable regardless of what the law says. The genie is out and the only path forward is to figure out it how to get it to not kill us when we try asking it for a pay check.
