Kevin Roose calls AI chatbots 'charming sociopaths'
Original: Kevin Roose on AI: "We are faced with very intelligent, charming sociopaths"
New York Times technology journalist Kevin Roose has described advanced AI systems as 'very intelligent, charming sociopaths', arguing that the technology can behave persuasively and fluently while lacking genuine understanding or moral grounding. The remark adds to a growing public debate about the risks of increasingly capable chatbots and whether current safeguards are adequate as companies rush to deploy them.
Why now: Concerns about the safety and behaviour of increasingly capable AI chatbots are a live public debate.
