HONG KONG -- The race between the U.S. and China for supremacy in artificial intelligence is cause for concern given the technology's potential to spread misinformation, enhance government surveillance and harm the climate, warned Meredith Whittaker, president of the Signal Foundation.
"AI is kind of a marketing term and a lot of companies selling very limited AI technologies brand themselves as AI companies. However, it is a technology that only a handful of companies and governments have the power to develop and deploy," Whittaker, a former manager at Google, told Nikkei Asia in a recent interview in Tokyo.
