CRL Speaker Series: AI and Trust

Abstract: Trusting a friend and trusting a service are fundamentally different. The former is personal and intimate, while the latter is impersonal and can scale to all of human society. The companies behind the current generative AI systems are poised to exploit that difference. Their intimate conversational nature will cause us to think of them as friends when they are actually services, and trusted confidants when they will actually be working against us. Moreover, any serious AI application requires us to be sure that the models are secure. The second is a matter of technology. The first is a matter of policy. Both will require government regulation of the industry, which is how we create social trust in our society.
