Ethical Intelligence: Global Perspective (International Edition)

The question is no longer whether unchecked artificial intelligence will overrun creative and political systems, but rather how quickly this transformation will occur. Recently, authors in London staged a demonstration against Meta to underscore rising concerns among scribes whose writings are reportedly utilized—without permission or payment—to educate AI algorithms. These protesters aren’t outliers; they’re well-established authors calling for openness, governance, and fairness amid the muddled online environment.

The debate over copyrights isn’t novel, yet it has become increasingly pressing. As nations compete for technological dominance, they often overlook the human toll—namely, the degradation of intellectual property rights and the devaluation of creative efforts. More alarmingly, this rush towards advancement also reveals the ethical failings among those at the helm of technology companies. Instead of merely reproducing speech or crafting poetry, artificial intelligence is said to be aiding governments involved in heinous acts. It’s profoundly disturbing that these very tools are used for monitoring populations and spreading murderous ideologies, with their inventors simultaneously profiting from and preaching about progress.

Certainly, we cannot overlook the significant potential of artificial intelligence. However, our approach should strike a balance—where progress goes hand-in-hand with responsibility. Rules, openness, and moral guidelines shouldn’t come as an afterthought. This isn't merely about writers' rights and intellectual property; it’s also about preventing a scenario where authority becomes monopolized by entities acting beyond oversight.

This instant feels like a confrontation—not with the technology per se, but with those who control it. Progress devoid of ethical considerations isn’t true advancement; rather, it’s domination cloaked in brighter hues. We should not let the luster of AI divert us from recognizing the significance of the human voice we strive to emulate.
