A Privacy Hero's Final Wish: An Institute to Redirect AI's Future | WIRED
claude.iconThis article discusses the AI Objectives Institute (AOI), an organization founded by Peter Eckersley, a prominent privacy and technology figure, shortly before his death.
The main points are as follows: 1.
Eckersley founded AOI with the goal of guiding the direction of development of artificial intelligence (AI) toward "human flourishing.
After Eckersley's death, colleagues Deger Turan and Brittney Gallagher took over AOI's activities.
AOI's goal is to redirect the purpose of AI so that it does not exacerbate problems such as environmental destruction and growing poverty.
Specific projects under development include a system for surveying and recommending the needs of city residents and a chatbot that records users' daily lives in an interactive format.
Eckersley has previously had a track record of making big changes with simple tools, including the launch of Let's Encrypt, a groundbreaking project that will significantly advance encryption on the Web.
Because of AI's influence on the future, Eckersley came to believe that guiding the direction of AI was his most important task in his later years.
