Bit of a difficult read, but worth it. I have to say, I hadn’t considered how the growing gap between those with and without a necessary understanding of science (and the process of it) could be a threat to democracy.

The Devolution business case is that of an enhanced, interactive, content aggregator and production platform with “Big Data” Anatomisation.
Incorporated in 2003, the Devolution business case is that of an enhanced, interactive, content aggregator and production platform with advanced, "Big Data" Anatomisation. The inherent problem with the traditional media industry, is that it is based almost entirely on hunch and guess-work. Any analysis performed is of extremely low quality, by scientific standards. This is because media organisati
ons (and most others!) lack both the mindset and skill-set to produce quality analytics work. By adopting values and skill-sets, so far, only associated with serious science, and applying truly sophisticated “Big Data” analysis to the content/media industry, the inherent guess-work associated with the traditional business model can be almost completely erased. More importantly, the Devolution business was designed to create an intimacy between content producer/brands and consumers, never previously possible outside the psychoanalists’ office, creating the most powerful insights into audiences that have ever been created. Insights relevant to all business, not just media. The Devolution concept results in consumers getting more choice in content; producers can produce more financially successful content and, perhaps most importantly, advertisers can get far better and quantifiable ROI from their budgets. The companies were recognised by deWitt Media Research, at a keynote speech at Cannes 2008, as one of only a handful of companies, worldwide, creating credible business models for new media.

At last....somebody gets it. Turn content production over to truly independent creators and learn to control it!
YouTube is draining billions of dollars in ad revenue from premium TV providers and growing bigger each day. So, why is Hollywood ignoring it?

Slightly out of date, but considering most people subscribe to more than one service, there’s a lot of money being spent on content.

Business only needs any output to be “good enough”, not perfect. This is the fundamental problem with business models and our way of life. Arguably, “AI”-generated output is already probably more consistently “good enough” than output from a team of people with differing abilities. As long as we’re all happy with aiming for average, with a wide standard deviation, then current “AI” is helpful. The more interesting question is, given the uncontrolled speed of development, whether current “AI” will actually improve, or burn itself out.
AI is only going to be useful if the people who know how it works speak up.

Same old problem. People have NO understanding of the tech they use, while businesses and politicians only need it to be good enough to be useful to them. They only need a tech to “move the needle”, not “solve the problem”. 🤷🏻♂️😔

Social media’s unregulated evolution over the past decade holds a lot of lessons that apply directly to AI companies and technologies.

“AI” does not exist - they are simply machines performing calculations. If you put bad info in to the calculation, you’ll get bad info out….and that’s still assuming the maths in the calculation is fully correct (it’s not!). I’m amazed, therefore, how it’s been allowed to have these (wonderful) technologies unleashed publicly, when they are far from complete! Even worse, the laws surrounding protection of us idiot public are being increasingly circumvented! 🤷🏻♂️😵💫🤬
The machine-learning-generated answers go from the funny to the extremely dangerous.

To safeguard our futures, we need to make sure ALL data is accessible (not behind a paywall) and that the general public has the skills to be “data literate”. At the moment, this is not the case.

Worth a read. Taking proper care in the development of this technology is essential.
And that's a problem. Figuring it out is one of the biggest scientific puzzles of our time and a crucial step towards controlling more powerful future models.

History can teach us a great many things. The parallels between the adoption of the motor car and “AI” show that little has changed.

UK Ai Safety Summit
This is a question asked of Rishi Sunak on the final day of the UK AI Safety Summit. Overall, I found the event disappointing. The scientists are great, but business leaders and politicians still have a way to go in order to bring their understanding up to speed. Devolution was incorporated 20 years ago to ethically develop new business models for media, using advanced analytics ("Ai"). We have been saying for all that time that entirely new ways of doing things must be found and we have been stymied by a very conservative financial sector; coupled with Legacy Media's financial power, fundamental lack of understanding and goodwill. In order to make sure "Ai" remains a force for "good", old ways like bureaucratic legislation simply won't work with the new technology. Unfortunately, as we can see from the UK PM's answer, we've learned absolutely nothing from the example of Social Media! I'll post more updates over the coming days. In the meantime, I'm placing a link to my own published work in the comments section. The second half of my Chapter provides more detail and insight into why traditional methods won't work.
