Meredith Whittaker says AI has been misunderstood, arguing that careless use poses a more immediate concern than “ghost stories”, according to the BBC, which published an interview with her on 9 October.
Why it mattersIt is a pointed argument about where attention belongs: less on speculative fears, more on how the technology is used. The BBC’s account identifies her view, but the available excerpt does not set out specific examples.
Discuss: Should AI debate focus more on harms from careless use today, or on longer-term risks that are harder to measure?
