‘Earlier machines replaced labour; these replace thought’: AI ethicist Nell Watson
Nell Watson warns that the primary concern with AI is not rebellion, but rather its unregulated efficiency, which can erode human values and critical thinking. She advocates for ethical AI governance that integrates moral principles directly into technology, ensuring transparency and accountability. Without intervention, AI could lead to cognitive atrophy and diminished epistemic sovereignty, threatening trust and societal well-being.
