The Prime Minister of Sweden dragged on to admit that he uses Chatgpt to help him make decisions

Futurists concerned about the fact that we slip into a dystopia fueled by AI where the human race nods at its ethical, decision -making and intellectual powers to a group of corporate algorithms does not need to seek further than Ulf Kristersson to justify their fears.

Kristersson, who is the Prime Minister of Sweden, recently admitted Nordic news on a site that he sometimes asks Chatgpt for a “second opinion” with regard to his governance strategies.

“I use it myself quite often,” KrisSson said during the interview. “If for nothing other than for a second opinion. What have the others did? And should we think of the complete opposite? These types of questions. “

As you would expect, KrisSson was immediately dragged for her comments. “The more it is based on AI for simple things, the more the risk of excessive confidence in the system,” said Virginia Dignum, professor of artificial intelligence responsible at Umeå University, while chatting with the same point of sale that interviewed the PM. “It is a slippery slope. We must demand that reliability can be guaranteed. We did not vote for Chatgpt. “

The PM was also criticized by a variety of other points of sale, which all seemed to think that governance via Chatbot was not the ideal way for Western civilization. “Too bad for Sweden that the AI guesses mainly,” wrote AFTONBLADET KRANTZ SIGN. “Chatbots prefer to write what they think you want what you need to hear.”

Krantz makes a good point, namely that chatbots can be incredibly sycophanic and delusional. If you have a leader asking chatbot’s head questions, you can imagine a scenario in which software algorithms only serve to strengthen the existing prerogatives of this leader (or to push them further on the edge in an unexplored territory). Fortunately, this does not seem that many politicians feel the need to use Chatgpt as a coach.

Whether KrisSSSON is really based on a chatbot during navigation on its leadership functions or that it has, in reality, to try to appear the hip by appointing a popular technological product during an interview, it is clear that AI is increasingly used by all kinds of people to outsource the intellectual capacities which, only a few years ago, were exclusively the human spirit. This is a dangerous situation to do, because the technological industry has already atrophy our ability to think for two decades now. How many stupid can we all get? I guess we are about to discover it.
