⚙️ Gary Marcus on fighting for a positive AI future

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. Good Morning. Welcome to this first weekend longread edition of The Deep View. In the opening pages, Marcus, a cognitive scientist and AI researcher, gets into the meat of the ethical problems posed by AI and the companies that are assembling the tech. If nothing is done, he says, if Silicon Valley is not tamed, “the imbalances of power, where unelected tech leaders control an enormous swath of our lives, will grow. Fair elections may become a thing of t...
