Generative AI's dark side sparks concerns

gary marcus, a prominent critic of generative ai, argues that the technology's negative consequences, such as nonconsensual deepfake porn, phishing scams, and disinformation, outweigh its benefits. marc benioff, ceo of salesforce, and jason clinton from anthropic have also raised concerns about ai-related security threats, with clinton warning that things will get worse before they get better. torsten slok, chief economist at apollo global management, notes that many expected positive effects of ai are not materializing. marcus and others are questioning whether the risks associated with generative ai are worth the potential benefits.
