Comment: I don't give my smartphone to anyone. Will I give everything to AI soon?
I want artificial intelligence to take over more of my everyday life. Meta and OpenAI want to make this easier than ever before. But I don't trust either of the two corporations.
The idea of a Artificial Intelligence (AI) controller for our everyday lives is straightforward. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently promised such an AI, which would take the form of a plush figure named Muse. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman followed suit with a similar system called "Dots," also resembling plush toys. As a technology enthusiast, I am eager to see how AI can enhance my daily routine, from sorting emails and planning trips to organizing purchases and managing my smart home. However, I have reservations about entrusting this responsibility to two major corporations.
Over the past few years, my digital life has become more sensitive. I am comfortable giving a friend a key to my home, but I would hesitate to share my unlocked smartphone. The information stored on such devices seems too personal for me to share. For a system like Muse or Dots to be truly beneficial, it would require extensive access to my digital life. The more access it has, the more useful it can be. This is the promise made by Zuckerberg and Altman.
