ChatGPT, the NSA, and Ethical Concerns

Podcast on Future Tech And Foresight, October 22, 2024

HOST: Marc Verbenkov

About the Episode:

In this episode, we dive into a tweet by Edward Snowden, who recently raised concerns about OpenAI’s decision to appoint a former NSA director to their board. We examine why this move has sparked controversy, especially in light of transparency concerns following the departure of key figures during the Sam Altman saga. We explore what makes ChatGPT important for the NSA and why privacy advocates are concerned about AI-driven databases turning into electronic dossiers. Looking ahead, we discuss the future of AI, brain-computer interfaces (BCI), and how they intersect with ChatGPT.
