Does AI have a right to free speech? Only if it supports our right to free thought

Yet they face an overlooked barrier: AI may have a right to free speech.

Key Points: 
  • Yet they face an overlooked barrier: AI may have a right to free speech.
  • This has led some to argue that our right to think freely may require giving AI a right to speak freely.

Free thought needs free speech

    • Recent articles, papers and books from the US have made the case that AI has a right to free speech.
    • Free thought, says the US supreme court, requires us to hear from “diverse and antagonistic sources”.
    • So corporations’ free speech is believed to create an environment where individuals are free to think.

AI and misinformation

    • Giving AI free speech rights could actually harm our ability to think freely.
    • While AI super-soldiers would be dangerous, AI super-sophists could be much worse.
    • An unconstrained AI might pollute the information landscape with misinformation, flooding us with “propaganda and untruth”.
    • The best antidote to AI’s falsehoods and fallacies could be more AI speech that counters misinformation.

Proposed regulation of AI

    • Both free speech law and AI regulation must consider their impact on free thought.
    • Take the European Union’s draft AI act and its proposed regulation of generative AI such as ChatGPT.
    • AI’s owners may experience less public pressure to censor legal but controversial AI speech if such speech was anonymous.
    • AI anonymity could also have the effect of making us judge AI speech on its merits rather than reflexively dismissing it as “bot speech”.

Thinking with technology

    • As Aza Raskin from the Center for Humane Technology points out, threats from new technologies can require us to develop new rights.
    • Moving forward, we need what the legal scholar Marc Blitz terms “a right to think with technology” – freedom to interact with AI and computers, using them to inform our thinking.
    • Yet such thinking may not be free if AI is compelled to be “safe … aligned … and loyal”, as tech experts recently demanded in a petition to pause AI development.

LONDON, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the initial launch of Life Calling's immersive exhibition, A Species Between Worlds: Our Nature Our Screens at London Design Biennale, Founder and artist, provocateur and global lecturer, John Mack will host The Global Game: Remapping our Nature in the Digital Age at London Design Biennale for A.I. thought-leadership Forum at Somerset House on June 13, at blank time.

Key Points: 
  • Themed "AI will never surpass our humanity", Mack will extend his unique stance on such complex issues on humanity and psychology vis a vis the digital age.
  • The question is not whether AI will learn compassion or realize consciousness, but rather will humanity learn compassion and realize consciousness.
  • Bringing together over 45 exhibition teams from across the world, London Design Biennale, now open at Somerset House, demonstrates the ability of design to bring people together and enact change.
  • Adds Mack: "Life Calling has shown up to London Design Biennale with a twist on how we think of design.
