SINGAPORE, May 28 (The Straits Times/ANN): Artificial intelligence (AI) is magnifying exponentially the fear, anger and hate that social media has already weaponised, journalist and Nobel laureate Maria Ressa has warned.
“If the first generative AI was (about) fear, anger and hate – weaponising those – this one now leads to weaponising intimacy,” Ms Ressa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021 with Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov for standing up to authoritarian regimes, told The Straits Times on Saturday.
