Life as depicted in George Orwell’s 1984 “could come to pass in 2024” if lawmakers don’t protect the public against artificial intelligence, Microsoft’s president has warned. Speaking to BBC’s Panorama, Brad Smith said it will be “difficult to catch up” with the rapidly advancing technology.
The program explores China’s increasing use of AI to monitor its citizens. Critics fear the state’s dominance in the area could threaten democracy. “If we don’t enact the laws that will protect the public in the future, we are going to find the technology racing ahead, and it’s going to be very difficult to catch up,” Mr. Smith said.
“I’m constantly reminded of George Orwell’s lessons in his book 1984. You know the fundamental story…was about a government that could see everything that everyone did and hear everything that everyone said all the time. “Well, that didn’t come to pass in 1984, but if we’re not careful that could come to pass in 2024.”
In certain parts of the world, the reality is increasingly catching up with that view of science fiction, he added. China’s ambition is to become the world leader in AI by 2030, and many consider its capabilities to be far beyond the EU. In 2019, China beat the US at the number of patents secured by academic institutions for innovation in AI technologies.

T-minus 19 and counting! Orwell is dead!
And Microsoft will be there to provide anything Big Brother needs.

It’s about to happen right now as soon as the crazies in the Biden Admin get going

Hypocrisy, thy name is Microsoft.
The fact that the founder of Microsoft is right now at the forefront of the neo-eugenics movement in conjunction with the Biden puppet-masters bringing in the Great Reset is far worse than anything that Orwell could have dreamed up.
MicroSoft’s CEO is very very slow.
1984 is long gone.
And oddly enough, that year was the last time that CPUSA ran a presidential candidate. Since then they have always endorsed the #ComDem candidate. Yes, there was a merger of the CPUSA and the Dem Party then.

Microsoft, desperate for new laws to protect us from big tech and AI. Facebook running ads on TV about how old our laws are and how social media and the internet needs new legislation.
We sure are lucky that big tech is here pushing legislation to protect us.
I thought this article was going to be about Google.
LOL!

microSoft kill Bill still roams free
Happening now?
Good eye and post.
AI is already searching the internet for conservatives to attack who sign up for social media.
One of the operations is located here in Arizona.
That was long ago.
During the Obozo era they started hiding the fact.
So I went to the Wayback and used the original url and found it.
They plead ignorance now, but everyone knows that the Communist Party USA has a seat at the #ComDem Table.
My question for the CEO. Do you meet with like minded individuals and communicate a suggested list of legislation to lawmakers?
You’re a CEO of a multi-billion software company. If you know what is coming you are in the right place to do something about it.
What a ruse.
Who will protect us from our “protectors”?
could?
