Tom Chatfield: “AI could lead to a massive pollution of the world’s data and the erasure of trust.”
• A philosopher and commentator on digital culture, Tom Chatfield is the author of Wise Animals — How Technology has made us what we are (Picador, 2024), which explores the history or humankind’s relationship with technology.
• He warns that AI is being released on the basis of promises that have not yet been realized and cautions against deterministic attitudes to new technology.
• He further argues that at a time when we are increasingly dependent on the digital world, AI could make it much harder to trust people online. In response, we should focus more on human skills and thinking, rather than delegating certain tasks to the statistical approach of AI.
