The former ethics of artificial intelligence provides anxiety about the impact of Musk on the federal government

Rumman Chowdhury, a data scientist, a non -profit founder, and former director of the Twitter Ethics Team, had strong words by Elon Musk and the Ministry of Government efficiency (Dog) During a committee in SXSW on Thursday.

“When your financing is frozen and you don’t know if you will shoot, and there, like a completely unreculated person, he says strange things on the Internet constantly, you still have to do your work, right?” Chaudri said. “The lights should remain because Elon Musk is not the person who keeps the lights, although he wants you to think about it.”

Musk and Doge, which MUSK advises, rushed to cut employees via US federal agencies, in some cases by ways Solving cybersecurity. The initiative was destroyed to the Financial Consumer Protection Office, reduced the number of employees in the National Traffic Safety Administration on Highway Traffic, and shot the test staff in the Federal Aviation Administration, among other things.

Chowdhury fears the drainage of the brains resulting from dramatic cuts and chaotic management style. She says she saw a similar trend in Twitter again in 2022, when Musk acquired the platform for $ 43 billion. Chowdhurey was one of the employees who left a short notice after taking a Musk.

“So some estimates say that about 20 % of (Twitter) had already left before (Musk) until he took over, then launch another 30 % on top of that, right?” Chaudri said. “So we are talking about a large part that the company has just been given, whether it is dodging, but I believe that the most important thing is that the shadow that is looming on the horizon (Musk) completely killed the Twitter culture.”

“(I) is frightening to see that the occurrence of the United States government, a institution that greatly concerns all of America and even people outside the American border. Twitter was a company, yes – it was an influential company, but it is not the same as a government. (…) (musk) generates chaotic environments, and chaos is not the place where good work occurs.”

Chowdhury also faces a problem with Musk’s Twitter – now X – which said relations with his approaches to politics. Musk was accused of using X as a propaganda tool for his own ideology – “loudspeakers” to push his view to the world.

“Like, I don’t think there is any discussion or discussion taking place here,” said Ch Xodry. “I do not think that (former CEO on Twitter) Jack Dorsi acted anywhere near the way Elon Musk has (he was not on Twitter every day with his views, and the ban on people, as you know, amplify others, describing some terrorist people – like, Jack did not behave in this way.”

One report was found This musk shared misleading claims about the 2024 US presidential elections, which were seen nearly 1.2 billion times on X. In jobs this year, at Musk again and again. I made false assurances About federal spending, Ukrainian aggressionand The role of offices Like the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Musk has Go to the question of the question The X -taught community of X, after correcting jobs on X and who claimed Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the country -elected president, observes low approval classifications among its citizens. Unfortunately, society notes that the old governments and media are increasing He claimed without evidence in a post.
