AI for Good v/s AI for Bad

The “AI & ML” sector seems to have, currently, the most relevant impact on large part of society involving privacy, freedom, labour, security, lifestyle, and more. It is not under question the added value and the achievements due to digital technology; this contribution looks at the digital world from the humanities side. Several services are already managed by artificial intelligence as well as decisions and even critical decisions are assigned to Artificial Intelligence, many times Narrow AI. A.I. will increasingly pervade applications and devices. Few days ago, on June 2024, Sam Altman announced the integration of an Open AI chat GPT based AI assistant on iPhone. This trend will expand soon involving both everyday “tools” and high-end applications and services. If spell and grammar checkers have already created new dialects/languages, e.g. MS-English, AI is now generating one or may be multiple “creativities” accordingly with data that fed the system.
