work towards ensuring its development and implementation prioritizes the common good and respects individual liberties.

This is the absurd and liberal view, imo. The reality is that high-tech is first and foremost absorbed and driven by securitisation.

Practically, the AI that's been made available to us seems a very purposeful release of limited technology as part of PR for AI, towards normalising it. It's fun playing with text-to-image and talking with a machine.

In all likelihood, the groups that have made these AI have far better AI that they do not make public, and that are bound up in the security industry. A such, we can imagine that there are unimaginable ways we might be fucked, even in the next few years.

To an extent we will be able to fight tech with tech, but I think it looks completely different to the above.

government agencies probably have the most capable AIs. And they actively use it for mass surveillance, I don’t think much has changed in the US since Snowden made the broad public aware, do you? ^^

warfare is a whole other story, considering what automated weaponry they have and considering what’s made public is usually already “the old stuff”.
