       So I've heard like a bajillion talks on #AI at this #freesoftware conference, with legal experts trying frantically to make sense of AI in the context of free software licensing. Ignoring the nitty-gritty details,  the big ever-present elephant in the room is 'how do we do AI, but #FOSS?'And I'm not sure that doing AI-but-open would get close to solving the ethical questions surrounding AI. All these very smart people are expending so much energy on making this thing work, with the implied understanding that 'making this thing work' is an endeavour worth pursuing.But is it really? If I write a program that steals work, destroys the environment, outputs unreliable rubbish, and does a racism embarrassingly often, does it matter whether the user has the four freedoms that they can hypothetically exercise if they can download half the internet and foot the bill of a powerful GPU cluster?
