The AI ministry is a necessity imo. Lemmy often gets caught up in shitting on OpenAI and other AI stuff (which is generally justified imo).
However, the potential of this tech to become a nightmare if not implemented correctly is huge. The worst case (depends how you look at it) scenario of this tech is mass unemployment.
In other words, good or bad, AI has the potential to massively change how the economy works, and thus change how our lives look like. If this does indeed happen, and we are not prepared to handle the worst case scenario, then that would be bad.
I certainly agree that it needs government oversight and attention. A ministry, though…I’m not convinced, and inclined to think the worst when “we’ll use AI to fix the government” was a consistent taking point during the campaign.
But it was rightly pointed out that AI is only part of the name. I’d just as soon it not be there, but we’ll see what happens.
