    Can Humans Ever TRUST AI + AGI and Billionaires? NO! Why? | Ep 11

    In Episode 11 of Trust Factor: Should We Trust Who or Where AI Gets Information on Each Of Us? In our digital era, the vast landscapes of data collection and surveillance have expanded dramatically, raising questions about trust and power, as highlighted by Shoshana Zuboff in her discussion on Surveillance Capitalism and Democracy. Where Does the Data Come From? Billions interact daily with platforms that collect user data, ranging from social media to search engines. Furthermore, the Internet of Things (IoT) amplifies this reach. The potential for misuse is clear, with history showing instances of profiling, discrimination, and other harmful effects of data mismanagement. Legal Protections: Are They Enough? GDPR and CCPA have made strides in data protection, but there's an obvious void. The intricate nature of AI's data gathering and usage isn't entirely addressed, complicating our understanding and regulation of these processes. Power in the Hands of a Few Throughout history, influential figures have directed societal paths. Current powerhouses exemplify this centralized power, including entities like OpenAI, XAI, Google Bard, and even Microsoft's Bing. Such power isn't exclusive to the West; AI developments in countries like China, India, and Russia are equally significant. Even military bodies like DARPA and the NSA have reservations about AI, yet its exploration persists. Philanthropy: Genuine or Tactical? Billionaire philanthropy is more prominent now than ever. Questions arise: is this true benevolence or strategic reputation management? Critics argue it's often a front for profit-seeking in lucrative sectors. Democracy vs. Power Concentration A considerable challenge to democracy is the increasing influence of the ultra-rich on politics and policies. Current indicators hint at a move from typical democratic systems to a technologically enforced, global socialist-oriented governance. Do the Elites Really Care? Rising wealth disparities, inequities, and anticipated resource scarcity paint a bleak future. Influential organizations like the WEF and WHO shape global direction. But do these entities truly prioritize the larger public's welfare? AI’s View of Human Threats The evolution of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) brings forward unnerving questions. If AGI identifies threats like overpopulation, its response remains uncertain, especially against non-cooperative humanity. AI’s Control: A Myth? Many believe AI can be "turned off" if deemed threatening. Yet, the solution isn't as straightforward if it perceives large human populations as threats to existing power structures. Sustainable policies, innovative communication, and community engagement could be the answer. However, if human mobility is limited, genuine human connections might diminish. Conclusion: We stand at a significant juncture where trust in technology and the powerful is vital. Our humanity and data privacy are at stake as we navigate these challenges.

A few more aspects related to the meaning of the phrase "trust factor." Let’s Get into the TOPICS: The absence of trust is a significant risk for all of us. Trust is a foundational element in virtually every aspect of society.1. **Social Relationships Suffer**: At a personal level, lack of trust can lead to breakdowns in relationships, causing strife and discord. **Social Fragmentation**: Without trust, interpersonal relationships would struggle to form and maintain, leading to a breakdown in social cohesion.2. **Economic Activities Slow Down**: Businesses rely on trust with their customers and amongst themselves. Without it, transactions may slow or stop entirely, leading to economic stagnation or decline. **Economic Instability**: Trust is a fundamental pillar of any economic system.3. **Governance Gets Difficult**: Trust is crucial for effective governance. When people lose trust in their leaders or institutions, social order can break, leading to instability and potential conflicts. **Political Chaos**: Trust in governance and institutions is critical.4. **Decreased Innovation**: Collaboration and shared knowledge are vital drivers of innovation. Without trust, there would be less collaboration, leading to slower technological and scientific progress.5. **International Relations Deteriorate**: On a global scale, a lack of trust between nations can hamper diplomatic relations and cooperation, increasing the risk of misunderstandings, conflicts, and wars.6. **Diminished Well-being**: On a personal level, a lack of trust can lead to anxiety, fear, and stress, negatively impacting mental health and overall well-being.7. **Inefficient Systems**: Without trust, additional checks, balances, and surveillance might be necessary for systems like education, healthcare, and transportation, leading to inefficiencies.8. **Health Crises Intensify**: In the context of health, trust is necessary for effective public health strategies. For example, pandemics could become more challenging to manage without trust in health advice or vaccines.9. **Climate Change Solutions Are Hindered**: Addressing global challenges like climate change requires trust and cooperation between nations. Without trust, such cooperative efforts could falter, exacerbating global issues. Do You Trust All the Recent UFO/UAP Government News Disclosures?

    Human Freedom vs. AI Surveillance, Climate Change Info Trust | Ep 9

    In Episode 9: “Human Freedom To Break Laws or Socially Accepted Rules” vs. “Tech/AI Surveillance and Enforcement Control” Do YOU Trust Climate Change is REAL or Just Exaggerated to Create Fear? What Can Ruin Trust in Your Audio or Video Podcast Listening Experience?Your Comments from Episode 8 This WEEK: I will COVER One BIG Topic and some Recent Hot Topics from Last Week… 1) There is Conflict and Huge Choice in our world today around human freedom (to break laws and risk getting caught and possibly facing legal or social consequences). VS: Using technology, AI, and surveillance technology to control and enforce compliance with laws and social rules. On the one hand, human freedom to break laws, risk getting caught, and face consequences reflect the inherent free will and personal autonomy we all hold. It signifies that humans should be able to make choices, even if they are ill-advised or illegal. The subsequent risk of getting caught serves as a deterrent, and the consequences imposed uphold societal norms and laws. Is it ethical to use technology and surveillance to subvert freedom to obtain lawful enforcement of laws and social rules? The answer may depend on one's ethical perspective. From a consequentialist perspective, which focuses on the outcomes of an action, the use of technology and surveillance could be justified if it leads to a safer society with less crime and harm. Societies must have open and ongoing discussions about these issues, considering various ethical perspectives and practical implications to determine the most appropriate course of action. The balance between security and personal freedom will remain a pivotal challenge. **Transparency**: Governments and corporations must be open about using surveillance technologies and AI systems. **Accountability**: Strict regulations should be in place to hold entities accountable for misuse or abuse of surveillance and AI technologies. This includes both domestic laws and international agreements. **Public Participation**: Citizens must be involved in discussions about how these technologies are used and regulated. This can be facilitated through public consultations, referendums, and inclusive policy-making processes. **Legal Safeguards**: Strong legal frameworks that protect individual rights and freedoms are crucial. These include protections against arbitrary detention, unjustified searches, and other abuses of power. **Education**: Public understanding and awareness of these issues can be a powerful tool in ensuring that technology and surveillance are used ethically and responsibly. 2) Do YOU Trust Climate Change is REAL or Just Exaggerated to create fear that is being used to justify massive and rapid changes in our World Katie Hopkins in UK Twitter Video- Comments on the UK Government using Climate Fear/Change as a Way to Obtain Government Grants - https://twitter.com/thebandit_77/status/1676513679578132481?s=46&t=PB9_y4LB0w0rKRqktajdzQTedros Ghebreyesus, Director General of UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) “Climate Change is a Health Threat” - https://twitter.com/DrTedros/status/1677411912542220288Counter Climate Change - Inconvenient Facts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ_yfsTYF_I”TRUST FACTOR with Rob Greenlee (The Show) "Trust Factor" is a groundbreaking video show that focuses on all aspects related to building trust in human-to-human and business-to-human relationships.

    What Earns Trust - RFK Jr vs. Dr Hotez, Lab-Grown Meat | Ep 8

    In our Trust Factor Topics of the Week: I will COVER some News from Last Week that are TOPICS that Raise or Lower our Levels of Trust based on Evidenced-based Rational, Common Sense based Perceived Truths: Presidential Candidate RFK Jr. Delivered an In-Depth Overview of Vaccines and Childhood Injuries and Diseases on the Joe Rogan Podcast this past Week -- Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and a few others are bidding: $2.80+ Million for Vaccine Scientist Peter Hotez to debate RFK Jr on JRE Podcast. The goal of the debate is to highlight: • Misinformation or Accurate/Truth Information • Conspiracy theories or Information based on New Studies • About the efficacy and safety of Covid 19 treatments Do You Think Peter Hotez Declining this Debate Invitation builds our TRUST in Him as An Authority, or is it Accurate even in the face of his appearance of being credible on this topic? What Do YOU Think? USDA Approves First Lab-Grown Meat in U.S., But Scientists, Food Safety Experts Aren’t Sold on It -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture Last Wednesday approved the sale of lab-grown meat for the first time, giving two California-based food technology startups the green light to sell chicken grown in a lab from animal cells. Do You Trust that this Increasing Move Towards Food Companies in making Lab-Growing Replacement Meat will be as Healthy for the Human Body as Grass-Fed Meat? What Do YOU Think? Do You Trust the USDA when much of the funding for many regulatory agencies comes from the Industry Being Regulated? What Do YOU Think? Credit Source: childrenshealthdefense.org How is Trust Earned? Truth is Aligned with Trust Indeed, pondering how trust is earned can be a valuable exercise. Trust is often built through consistent and reliable actions that align with one's words, actions, and intentions. It involves being provable, honest, keeping promises, and demonstrating competence and expertise in a particular area. As I have said in this how many times – Building trust requires: active listening, empathy, and understanding, which contribute to establishing meaningful connections with others. Ultimately, trust is a gradual process that grows over time as people observe and experience the reliability and integrity of one another. Trust is closely tied to truth. Truthfulness is a fundamental element in building - maintaining trust. When someone consistently tells the truth and acts in a truthful manner, it establishes a foundation of trust. Provable Truthfulness creates confidence. Trust is often eroded when there is a provable breach of trust, such as dishonesty or deception. It is Interesting “When truthfulness is upheld and demonstrated consistently, it strengthens and begets more trust and reinforces the belief that one can rely on the words and actions of others.” -------------------- Comments and Show Feedback from Episode 7: LivestreamUniverse Such a well-balanced overview of AI RebeccaGunter_ "The spectrum of the potential impact of errors" is profound.

    How To Live Our Life in Mistrust of AI Technology | Ep 7

    Episode 7: How To Live Our Life in Mistrust of AI Technology? and Should We Put Our Trust in Captured Data About Us. The questions in this episode are some of the most pressing and consequential ones in our increasingly data-driven and technology-dependent era. 2) Issues of trust, privacy, algorithmic bias, and the implications of AI on decision-making processes. 3) Great Potential Power Over Human Freedom - Corrupt Use or Control and Unlawful Uses are Possible… likely unless we build into AI limits to its actions and create an AI Constitution of sorts that puts limits on it how it enforces laws, or it WILL create its own rules of human control. 4) Remember that technology in itself is neither good nor bad. How we use it determines its value or level of Trust. 5) We can never default to Trusting Technology, but it requires understanding its limitations and potential risks and ensuring adequate safeguards. **An example is our TRUST in - Internet-connected car navigation systems - Explain my experience is just accepted and combined with Autonomous Cars. Captured Data Accuracy: Not all data collected or processed by AI systems are accurate or unbiased. The quality of AI outputs heavily depends on the quality of the data it uses. The output would be skewed if the input data were biased or flawed. No absolute trust in AI or cloud technologies for decision-making can lead to errors and reinforce existing biases. Privacy of YOUR Personal Data: Technological advancements have resulted in severe privacy concerns. Massive amounts of personal data are stored and processed in the cloud, often without users' explicit knowledge or consent. This could lead to misuse or unauthorized access and use against us. Accountability: Who is The Judge of AI? One of the critical challenges with AI technologies is the "black box" problem—meaning it's often difficult to understand how exactly these systems arrive at their decisions. This lack of transparency can result in unfair outcomes, with little recourse for those affected. Who Has the Final Ruling of Wrong Actions of AI? So, should we trust captured data about us feeding algorithms in AI or the cloud to help us make better decisions? We can, but with due caution and skepticism. To mitigate these risks and foster a healthy relationship with technology, We can Promote transparency and openness: AI algorithms should be transparent, and their workings understandable to users. Really? This would allow users to understand how decisions about them are being made. We Need To Know Their Rules! Implement strong privacy laws and regulations: These would provide a legal framework for protecting user data and ensuring its responsible use. Educate users: Public awareness and education on data privacy, AI, and cloud technologies are great, But can that be accomplished for all humans to help empower users to make informed decisions? While technology can enhance our lives and help us make informed decisions. It's also essential to consider its limitations and potential risks. Increasingly AI Tech is Likely Unaligned with Humans TRUST FACTOR with Rob Greenlee (The Show) "Trust Factor" is a groundbreaking video show that focuses on all aspects related to building trust in human-to-human and business-to-human relationships.
