"The Australian government this week released voluntary artificial intelligence
(AI) safety standards, alongside a proposals paper calling for greater
regulation of the use of the fast-growing technology in high-risk situations.
The take-home message from federal Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic,
was:
We need more people to use AI and to do that we need to build trust.
But why exactly do people need to trust this technology? And why exactly do
more people need to use it?
AI systems are trained on incomprehensibly large data sets using advanced
mathematics most people don’t understand. They produce results we have no way
of verifying. Even flagship, state-of-the-art systems produce output riddled
with errors.
ChatGPT appears to be growing less accurate over time. Even at its best it
can’t tell you what letters are in the word “strawberry”. Meanwhile, Google’s
Gemini chatbot has recommended putting glue on pizza, among other comical
failures.
Given all this, public distrust of AI seems entirely reasonable. The case for
using more of it seems quite weak – and also potentially dangerous."
