With great tech success, comes even greater responsibility<\/strong><\/a> — from techcrunch.com by Ron Miller<\/p>\n

As we watch major tech platforms evolve over time, it\u2019s clear that companies like Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon (among others) have created businesses that are having a huge impact on humanity \u2014 sometimes positive and other times not so much.<\/p>\n

That suggests that these platforms have to understand how people are using them and when they are trying to manipulate them or use them for nefarious purposes \u2014 or the companies themselves are. We can apply that same responsibility filter to individual technologies like artificial intelligence and indeed any advanced technologies and the impact they could possibly have on society over time.

Over time though, it becomes crystal clear that Twitter, and indeed all large platforms, can be used for a variety of motivations, and the platforms have to react when they think there are certain parties who are using their networks to manipulate parts of the populace.<\/p>\n
