Disclaimer: I am asking this for a college class. I need to find an example of AI being used unethically. I figured this would be one of the best places to ask. Maybe this could also serve as a good post to collect examples.

So what have you got?

    I think quite some of our current societal issues (in western societies as well) come from algorithms and filter bubbles. I think that’s the main contributing factor to why people can’t talk to each other any more and everyone gets more radicalized into the extremes. And in the broader pictures the surrounding attention economy fuels populists and does away with any factual view on the world. It’s not AI’s fault, but it’s machine learning that powers these platforms and decides who gets attention and who gets confined into which filter bubble. I think that’s super unhealthy for us. But sure. It’s more the prevailing internet business model to blame here and not directly the software that powers this. I have to look up what happened in Rohingya… We get a few other issues with social media as well, which aren’t directly linked to algorithms. We’ll see how the LLMs fit into that, I’m not sure how they’re going to change world, but everyone seems to agree this is very disruptive technology.
