Bill Gates: AI Can Help Solve ‘Digital Misinformation’ Problem
Breitbart ^ | 12 Feb 2023 | ROBERT KRAYCHIK

Posted on 02/12/2023 7:35:32 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Microsoft founder and billionaire Bill Gates said AI should be considered as a tool to combat “digital misinformation” and “political polarization” in an interview published on Thursday with Handelsblatt, a German news media outlet.

In response to a question about the spreading of “misinformation” via AI, Gates referred to the events of January 6, 2021, as an “attack on the Capitol. He said:

I’m certainly concerned about political polarization, and I know the U.S. situation best of all. I wouldn’t have expected people to attack the Capitol, or people to deny the validity of election results. I‘m in a state of shock about that.

We can’t blame AI for that. That happened. It may have been magnified by digital channels that allow various conspiracy theories like QAnon or whatever to be blasted out by people who wanted to believe those things. So, the digital tools may have played an auxiliary role.

Gates added, “You’ll have to take AI into consideration” to “solve the digital misinformation [problem].” He described “political polarization” as another social ill that could be partially remedied via the use of AI to reduce “confirmation bias.”

In other words, use AI to silence the opposition once and for all.

There is no such thing as "AI".

What there will be is a data retrieval system that will have strong restrictions on what you can find.

Because some people are stupid they will fall down and declare what the machine has been programmed to give them as "the truth" because the make believe "AI" would not lie to them.

“We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within these walls.

Look around at this world we’ve made
Equality, our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
What a nice contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand.”

Hey Psycho Billy! I got your misinformation hanging right here.

Come have a look!

And how about Melinda in the press?

There’s a whole lot more to Psycho Billy and Epstein Island to come that Billy Boy won’t be able to scrub out with his $10B AI Toy venture.

A just machine
To make big decisions

Programmed by fellas
With compassion and vision

We’ll be clean
When their work is done

We’ll be eternally free
Yes, and eternally young

What a beautiful world
This will be

What a glorious time
To be free

-Donald Fagen

Have faith as Americans catch on to BS sooner or later.

As we speak there are blockchain communication search engines in development. I am involved.
