Why are we comparing computer <--> human intelligence?
🧑🏼🦱 We are bags of adrenaline and cortisol and oxytocin with five senses.
🤖 AI is a new species that recognizes patterns in data oceans where we can’t swim.
Assuming AI will think like us is not only inaccurate—it’s myopic and dangerous.

Just returned from the Internet Identity Workshop in San Jose where experts tackled protecting digital IDs in the AI era. It seems folks were not yet incorporating likeness, voice, and movement. It was a pleasure to speak on this in front of a great group. www.protectdigitalidentity.org

You have the right to free speech.
You do not have the right to be unethical. That’s why we write laws.
What if AI forced us to be ethical?
Boo-hoo for all the sociopaths.

NYT sues OpenAI to erase its dataset. As AI evolves, let’s prioritize ethics—from Aristotle to modern psychology—to build AI that surpasses human standards.

Holiday update: I've been developing an architectural blueprint to embed foundational ethics—drawn from 6,000 years of philosophy, religion, psychology, and core human values—into the DNA of AI systems.

In 1950, Alan Turing said we’d know computers were intelligent when we couldn’t tell them from humans. Today, AI can trick your mom in your voice. When will it be intelligent "enough"? #AI #Cybercrime #ProtectDigitalIdentity #TechSky #BlueSky #AIEthics #DontStealMyFace

The TRAIN Act is here! This bipartisan bill gives creators the right to know if their work was used to train AI models. No more black box - if AI companies used your creative work, you'll be able to find out.
