The Illusion Of Ai Ethics

The Illusion of AI Ethics

Having spent over two decades within the Open Source community and industry, I have witnessed firsthand the chaotic reality where corporate capital increasingly dictates the terms of “Ethics” and “Security”. As an individual voice, it is often difficult to challenge the momentum of these massive industrial shifts. That is why I have been sharing my perspectives with figures of great authority, such as Professor Geoffrey Hinton.

I am deeply grateful to see Professor Hinton and others raising a much-needed alarm on global stages, such as the UN Geneva Conference, regarding the existential risks of open-source weights. While the world debates the technicalities, we must recognize a more subtle danger: the “Ethics-Washing” of independent institutions where security is used as a pretext for corporate moats and military-grade AI arms races.

Humanity must realize that there is a dissenting voice. We cannot allow a tiny elite to steer our collective future without acknowledging the fundamental right to technical sovereignty and genuine, unbought ethics.
