This is a rosy way to put it. The real reason is this, corporations don't give a shit about ethics. Ethics exist to appease the public, employees and the law. If ethics get in the way of profits then fuck ethics. That's the way it works.

What "AI" is at the leadership level is bullshit. It either makes money or it doesn't. The leaders are beholden to shareholders and shareholders in aggregate have the mob mentality of a psychopath with one goal: money.

Right now AI isn't really enough of a threat in terms of ethics. Nobody cares too much yet so if such a group got in the way of profits, of course that group will be executed.



This. It's a pretty clear statement of what the company's ethical stance actually is.
