- Record updated
Summary
The paper argues that digital platforms face three major AI risks: AI control of global platforms, unaccountable AI agents operating anonymously, and unattributed deepfakes. It proposes grassroots contracts, a digital form of an idea from Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, and presents smartphone apps implementing them for a social graph with accountable AI agents and a social network with digital provenance.
Mitigation
Grassroots contracts for a social graph with accountable AI agents and for a social network with digital provenance, implemented as working smartphone apps.
