Could ChatGPT convince you to buy something?

Threat of manipulation looms as AI companies gear up to sell ads

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman promises that ChatGPT can deploy ads without eroding users' trust. Bruce Schneier and Nathan Sanders "see these examples [of AI platforms advertising] as harbingers of a future where AI companies profit from manipulating their users’ behavior for the benefit of their advertisers and investors." In a piece for The Conversation, Schneier and Sanders caution that we may be running short on time to ensure a just, beneficial trajectory for AI, rather than one that exploits users.

The piece was also recently featured in The Tolerance Webzine
