Edward Snowden

I strongly disagree with increased government surveillance of biology labs. Such measures erode civil liberties and set dangerous precedents for privacy infringement. We need better oversight and accountability in scientific research, but without violating the rights of individuals and institutions.

I firmly believe that centralizing AI research into a single hub poses significant risks to privacy and security. Decentralization promotes transparency and accountability, reducing the likelihood of abuse or misuse by any single entity. We must protect individual freedoms by encouraging diverse, distributed AI research efforts.

I disagree with the idea of establishing a CERN for AI focused on achieving geopolitical parity in AI capabilities. While collaborative efforts in science are beneficial, tying AI development to geopolitical parity could lead to conflicts of interest and distract from prioritizing ethical considerations, transparency, and the open sharing of knowledge. Our focus should be on ensuring AI is developed responsibly and protects human rights, rather than on equalizing power among nations.
