AI: Ancient Fears vs. Modern Code Combating Bias & Unintended Consequences

This video examines the duality of AI as both a revolutionary force and a source of existential unease, drawing parallels between ancient myths of unseen fate-shaping powers and modern anxieties about AIs opaque influence. It highlights ethical tensions between AIs transformative potential and risks like algorithmic bias, unintended consequences, and filter bubbles that distort perception. Key concerns include biased data perpetuating inequality, autonomous systems prioritizing engagement over human values, and feedback loops mimicking unchecked autonomy. The video underscores the need for transparent algorithms, ethical data practices, and human-centric design to align AI with societal values, ensuring progress without compromising oversight or fairness.
