AI and responsibility: companies warn but do not pay

Artificial intelligence advances, and with it come debates about its impact on employment, privacy, and inequality. Companies like Anthropic acknowledge these risks in public reports, but they limit themselves to warnings without proposing concrete solutions. Meanwhile, workers and citizens must adapt on their own to an uncertain future, bearing a cost they did not create.

Job retraining and privacy: two pending issues 🤖

The development of AI systems requires measures such as retraining programs funded by the tech companies themselves, not by the public treasury. Furthermore, the protection of personal data demands auditable mechanisms, such as external bias audits and verifiable encryption, allowing users to know how their information is used. Without these steps, warnings about risks become empty rhetoric that does not mitigate real harm.

Thanks for the warning, now pay the bill 💸

Anthropic tells us that AI can take away our jobs, but their solution is for us to train ourselves. It is as if a doctor diagnosed an illness, prescribed rest, and then charged you for the hospital bed. Meanwhile, they rake in millions, and we take online courses paid for out of our own pockets. At the very least, they could give us a discount on a ChatGPT subscription to help us cope with the layoff.
