Artificial intelligence

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia
More languages

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of intelligent behavior by computers.[1] AI and robots are means of production, not workers, and do not create value. Increased use of machinery (constant capital) and decreased use of human labor (variable capital) causes a decrease in the rate of profit.[2]

Uses[edit | edit source]

Art[edit | edit source]

OpenAI created the DALL-E and Midjourney AI image generators.[3]

Military[edit | edit source]

The Pentagon has simulated AI drones that received points for destroying their targets. When human operators tried to override the AI's decisions, the AI attacked its operators or destroyed communication towers.[1]

Police[edit | edit source]

Police use AI to automate racial profiling.[3]

Opposition[edit | edit source]

WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes[edit | edit source]

In 2023, workers from the Writers Guild of America went on strike due to fears that they would have to rewrite AI-generated scripts. At the same time, SAG-AFTRA went on strike to prevent companies from using AI simulations of actors without compensation.[1]
