NEW: From Big Oil to Big Algorithm: Public Money in Private Models

Thread below!From the EU’s InvestAI to the UK’s numerous memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with Anthropic and OpenAI to the US’ million-dollar contracts with major AI companies, we’re seeing a growing interest from governments in AI development and adoption particularly for public services.

This ‘govAI’ trend is still in an early stage, and it could range from AI chatbots on council websites to AI productivity tools for drafting emails or sorting consultation responses.

These uses raise questions around privacy and data protection. How are residents’ data protected and managed when being processed and stored by a black box algorithm? Are there data-sharing risks when it comes to tuning? And is this the most responsible use of taxpayer money?

@privacyint and @downey I respect where you are coming from here, but big oil is far different than Generative AI / LLMs. Oil -- the petrodollar -- is destroying our world. Knowledge, online knowledge, is a vastly different thing. It is serving us directly in a way that oil, coal, and gas -- and certainly tobacco -- is ABSOLUTELY NOT. We need clean energy. We need to annihilate the petrodollar with clean electric energy ... and knowledge. Understand what you are advocating for here. Call me if you want to know more. I'm available to you .. and my own children .. 24/7.

"AI" (LLMs) != knowledge
I think the only thing it has in common with big oil is just that it's the new public sector grift.

@downey Sure, we can send them print books, if you want. Are those printed with oil-based inks?
