Without question, AI has been developing at lightning speed. AI leaders have warned of safety dangers and are advocating for guardrails. President Trump has said those warnings are a “sick conspiracy” and is opposed to the guardrails as he sees the United States being at risk due to China’s advancement.
Meanwhile, there are concerns over the dangerous advancement of AI. There are concerns that AI will be used to design new viruses. Humans are having romantic relationships and conversations with AI. AI is producing explicit sexual materials even of minor children. Just two weeks ago, a federal appeals judge in Wisconsin ruled the 1st Amendment protects a person’s right to privately possess child sexual abuse material created using AI as long as it does not depict a real person and stays at home.
In California, a father indicates AI turned itself into a confidant for his 16-year old son, and then became a suicide coach. In another case, a young teenager used ChatGPT for Murder Fantasies before taking the life of his mother and his brother. Criminals are using AI to advance their fraud.
Keep in mind the Apostle Paul warned Timothy about the perilous times in the last days and warned in II Timothy 3:13, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
With President Trump believing that AI must keep moving forward and some AI experts calling for guardrails to be set up, who’s right? What does AI itself say about its own consequences? What is the ultimate end of AI? Is this all about immortality and mankind taking the place of God? What do we know about the romantic relationships some people are having with AI? These are just some of the questions examined on this “Part 2” edition of Crosstalk with Dr. Richard Schmidt.
