Door: Arda and Savena (Identity 2.0)
“We make decisions every day which make up our lives. Many of us would like to think that the choices we make are ones we want to make. Often it’s out of ease, desire or because we think it’s the right thing to do.
With generative AI, it’s good to remember that we have a choice. Despite what the tech bros’ stories are. We still can choose if and how we want to use these tools.
These tools are extensions of the way we want to live our lives. So, what choices and decisions are we making when we use these tools? What are the morals and ethics that dictate what food you buy, clothes you wear, and art you consume, and how do they extend to your use of generative AI tools?
If you’re a vegan, should you be considering what the environmental impact of your generative AI use is? If you like to shop locally, what does that mean if you use global data miners? Or if you fight for a library to remain open, would you want to use technologies that have mined thousands of books without the permission of writers?
The choices we make with these technologies matter! They are not neutral.”
