What are the negative impacts of the dark side of artificial intelligence art?
Artificial Intelligence art is a new and exciting field that is quickly gaining popularity. However, there is a dark side to AI art that is often overlooked. This dark side includes the potential for AI art to be used for political propaganda, to create fake art, and to infringe on copyrights.
In recent years, AI has become more and more involved in the world of art. Artificial Intelligence can now create realistic images, videos, and even sculptures. Artificial intelligence art is sometimes indistinguishable from art created by humans. Some people believe that AI will eventually replace human artists altogether.
However, there is a dark side of artificial intelligence art. Because AI is powered by data, it is biased against underrepresented groups. For example, if an AI is trained on a data set of predominately white male faces, it will more likely create art that is biased towards white male faces. This could lead to a future where the art world is dominated by AI-created works that are biased against women and people of color.
While AI art is still in its early stages, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and dangers that it poses. This article will explore the dark side of AI art and how it could impact the art world in a negative way.
Following are some of the aspects of Artificial intelligence art and its impacts
1.AI Bias
Since AI algorithms are built by humans, they can have a built-in bias by those who either intentionally or inadvertently introduce them into the algorithm. If AI algorithms are built with a bias or the data in the training sets they are given to learn from is biased, they will produce results that are biased. This reality could lead to unintended consequences like the ones we have seen with discriminatory recruiting algorithms and Microsoft’s Twitter chatbot that became racist. As companies build AI algorithms, they need to be developed and trained responsibly.
2.Loss of Certain Jobs
While many jobs will be created by artificial intelligence and many people predict a net increase in jobs or at least anticipate the same amount will be created to replace the ones that are lost thanks to AI technology, there will be jobs people do today that machines will take over. This will require changes to training and education programs to prepare our future workforce as well as help current workers transition to new positions that will utilize their unique human capabilities
3.A shift in Human Experience
If AI takes over menial tasks and allows humans to significantly reduce the amount of time they need to spend at a job, the extra freedom might seem like a utopia at first glance. However, in order to feel their life has a purpose, humans will need to channel their newfound freedom into new activities that give them the same social and mental benefits that their job used to provide. This might be easier for some people and communities than for others. There will likely be economic considerations as well when machines take over responsibilities that humans used to get paid to do. The economic benefits of increased efficiencies are pretty clear on the profit-loss statements of businesses, but the overall benefits to society and the human condition are a bit more opaque
4.Global Regulations
While our world is a much smaller place than ever before because of technology, this also means that AI technology that requires new laws and regulations will need to be determined among various governments to allow safe and effective global interactions. Since we are no longer isolated from one another, the actions and decisions regarding artificial intelligence in one country could adversely affect others very easily. We are seeing this already playing out, where Europe has adopted a robust regulatory approach to ensure consent and transparency, while the US and particularly China allows its companies to apply AI much more liberally
5.Accelerated Hacking
Artificial intelligence increases the speed of what can be accomplished and in many cases, it exceeds our ability as humans to follow along. With automation, nefarious acts such as phishing, delivery of viruses to software, and taking advantage of AI systems because of the way they see the world, might be difficult for humans to uncover until there is a real quagmire to deal with
6.AI Terrorism
Similarly, there may be new AI-enabled forms of terrorism to deal with: From the expansion of autonomous drones and the introduction of robotic swarms to remote attacks or the delivery of disease through nanorobots. Our law enforcement and defense organizations will need to adjust to the potential threat these present.
It will take time and extensive human reasoning to determine the best way to prepare for a future with even more artificial intelligence applications to ensure that even though there is potential for adverse impacts with its further adoption, it is minimized as much as possible.
As is the case with any disruptive event, these aren’t easy situations to solve, but as long as we still have humans involved in determining solutions, we will be able to take advantage of the many benefits of artificial intelligence while reducing and mitigating the negative impacts.
