Computation empowers people. It is unfortunately up to the people involved to act appropriately.
This is inconvenient information, but there is not one kind of AI/ML technology that only does the good use cases and a different kind of AI/ML that only does the bad use cases

It was once legal to build almost anything, anywhere. Then, in the space of a few decades, nearly every city in the West banned densification.

The GUARD Act’s sponsors claim it will keep our children safe, but that’s not true. It will undermine safety and autonomy by replacing parental guidance with government mandates and building mass surveillance infrastructure instead of privacy controls. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
A Surveillance Mandate Disguised As Child Safety: Why the GUARD Act
A new bill sponsored by Sen. Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. Britt (R-AL), Sen. Warner (D-VA), and Sen. Murphy (D-CT) would require AI chatbots to verify all users’ ages, prohibit minors

Lifelong academics have long accepted fundamentally broken systems, and taught trainees to do the same. Far too many are simply adjusting to our putrid current NIH. Some deep introspection needs to accompany this kind of organizing. Because ECRs (like me) with options are already abandoning ship.
Scientists must learn to join larger pro-democracy and people's movements, coalitions. Our science training may not have prepared us for such work, but we can no longer sit in the safety of our labs and expect the world to get better
