Artificial intelligence is one of those things that can either be high stakes or low stakes. On the low stakes end, you might ask ChatGPT to create a suggested itinerary for your European vacation. Or, if you're a writer for Buzzfeed, you might ask an AI image generator to design 50 different Barbie dream houses to represent all 50 states.
On the high stakes end, you might find a deep-fake video of a world leader making commentary that the real-life version of that leader never made circulating online, potentially influencing the outcome of an election or causing political unrest. You may start hearing about longtime screenwriters' careers ending because AI has begun writing TV and movie scripts. And, you'll observe your social media feeds continue to be influenced by AI algorithms that like to show us content that isn't always truthful or great for our mental health, but is likely to get a rise out of us, contributing to the spread of misinformation and polarization in society.
