Deconstructing Power in the Age of AI
Laura Hilliger,
Sept 08, 2023
This is a nice analysis of the impact of AI on our lives and our learning from the perspective of French and Raven's six forms of power and how they will be reshaped. It's great up to this point, but then Laura Hilliger says, "As we progress into the age of AI, we need to protect and enable people's personal power. We need to ensure that AI-powered decisions are transparent, unbiased, and aligned with human values." Sure. Sounds great. But even fully transparent AI can be fully understood, there's no such thing as 'unbiases', and there's no single set of values that constitute 'human values'. This is true of all human institutions (government, the press, the church, the university) and it's true of AI. We want what we cannot have.
