AI: Digging Graves or Creating Gods?

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

AI is currently driving a trend of autonomous "electronic lobster" agents that can generate income but also cause deep professional anxiety and security risks due to high operational costs and privacy vulnerabilities. The technology has further evolved to create AI digital twins of colleagues and even deceased celebrities, raising profound ethical and legal concerns regarding the replacement of human identity and labor without consent. While the sources warn of criminal exploitation and fatal emotional manipulation, they also highlight AI's life-saving potential, such as when an expert used it to help design a personalized cancer vaccine for his terminally ill dog.
