00:00So, I've been seeing this wild stuff online lately about AI taking over the world, and people are asking, is
00:06AI evil?
00:07And honestly, it's a question that makes sense because there are some seriously messed up things happening out here, and
00:13technology is always in the middle of it, right?
00:17But here's the thing that gets lost in all the drama.
00:20AI isn't capable of being evil.
00:22It's a tool.
00:24Think of it like a hammer.
00:26A hammer can build a beautiful house and can be used to break something.
00:31The hammer doesn't decide which one is going to happen.
00:34The person holding it does.
00:36The code and algorithms that make up an AI are just following just the instructions.
00:43They learn from the data that we feed them, and they act based on the goals we set for them.
00:49So, if an AI starts doing things that seems evil or harmful, you have to look further up the chain.
00:56You have to look at the people who designed it, the people who trained it, and the people who deploy
01:02it.
01:02Are they intentionally building biases into their systems?
01:05Are they using it to manipulate, spread, or have misinformation, or cause harm, or their own gain?
01:13That's where the real problem is.
01:15The danger isn't in a robot suddenly deciding it wants to destroy humanity.
01:20The danger is in humans using incredibly powerful, fast, and scalable tools like AI to further their own already existing
01:30bad intentions.
01:32Now, AI just gives someone with a problematic agenda a megaphone and a turbo boost.
01:37So, when we talk about making AI safe and ethical, we are really talking about enforcing ethics on the humans
01:46who build and use the technology.
01:49The accountability has to land on the people, not the program.
