It’ll enable mass surveillance, and hence it is the wet dream of authoritarian governments like China.
They can intercept every call and every message now, but they can’t read it all or build a file on a billion citizens. Human intelligence doesn’t scale, but AI inference does.
In the very near future (maybe the present!) every call will be listened in by an AI with a system message along the lines of “Report any anti-government or potentially rebellious behaviour. Summarise the conversation for each party and add it to their permanent file.”
The end goal is something capable of human-level intelligence in most, if not all, fields, and from there, it's not that difficult to continue scaling it up across speed / scale (and perhaps intelligence.)
