Of course not. The unfortunate reality is on average the larger something is the less it sees you as a person. Any large organization sees us all as walking billfolds. If they don’t see us as human, how can they keep AI ethical or safe?
The reality is they simply cannot, and won’t. While safety will (probably) be assured, because unsafe products bring lawsuits, unethical products that extort customers for money are apparently perfectly legal. We see this in pharmaceuticals, processed foods, and of course Big Tech.
That leaked Google paper on how open-source models will catch up and surpass AIs from Big Tech is interesting. According to that paper, being able to train huge models is not a sufficient moat.
But requiring licenses to construct or deploy AIs would be a sufficiently large moat.
