Scary stuff in Davos-speak

"Carolina Klint, chief commercial officer in Europe for Marsh McLennan, said: “Artificial intelligence breakthroughs will radically disrupt the risk outlook for organisations* with many struggling to react to threats arising from misinformation, disintermediation and strategic miscalculation."
It goes on to mumble something about a "risk landscape" but I stopped reading before I got that far.

But it's even worse — the whole AI disinformation thing — we are told, than the entire now-famous Kate Middleton photo muddle: 2024 is a worldwide election year, and fakery is everywhere.

It's so bad that a bunch of big tech companies — including all the usual suspects like Meta, Google, TikTok, OpenAI, X, etc.. etc. — all the usual suspects — "to voluntarily adopt 'reasonable precautions' to prevent artificial intelligence tools from being used to disrupt democratic elections around the world."

Or in other words, we're on our own.
