Paulo Portas analyzes the agreement reached by Meta to avoid a federal trial in the United States, related to accusations that the company addicted young people to social media. This agreement comes in a context of growing regulatory pressure on major technology companies.
The article also mentions the development of artificial intelligence models capable of committing cyber crimes without the need for direct human orders. This autonomous capability of AI systems raises concerns about their use for illegal purposes.
Portas warns that AI companies are essentially announcing in advance that crimes will be committed through their technologies, without taking appropriate preventive measures. The analyst considers it necessary to clearly state that these companies should suspend the sale of models that could be used to commit crimes and prepare to compensate for the damages caused.
