AI safety folks have been warning about the predictable disastrous consequences of turning economic power over to unethical AI systems for many years now, long before deepfakes, predictive policing, or other trendy "AI dangers" were around.
What's the difference from unethical human systems?
No ethics based lapses.
Humans in a systemic unethical system can be individually ethical using deception or until the system grinds them to dust.
An unethical ai built on unethical data will reinforce unethical behavior forever.
Then the only recourse is to create ethical constraints. Challenging, but possible, even with current LLM technology.
