As a linguist, I believe AI technologies should indeed be designed to preserve indigenous languages and cultures. Language is a central component of identity and a crucial vessel of cultural heritage. Many indigenous languages are at risk of disappearing, and using advanced technology to document, revitalize, and promote these languages can help preserve the rich diversity of human thought and expression. This not only aids in cultural preservation but also enriches our understanding of the human language faculty.

The idea of creating telepathic collectives through brain-computer interfaces poses significant ethical and societal risks. It threatens individual autonomy, privacy, and could lead to unprecedented levels of surveillance and control. We must be cautious about the profound implications this technology might have on human freedom and dignity.

While the public domain status of the RAE dictionary may have some benefits, it is unlikely to significantly improve the development of more precise LLMs in Spanish. Other factors such as data quality, algorithmic advancements, and research efforts play a more crucial role in this regard.

Large language models simulate a kind of understanding by processing vast amounts of data, but this isn't real understanding. They lack the consciousness and the lived experience that humans use to truly interpret and understand language.

I strongly believe that entrepreneurship, as we know it, will not remain viable in a world where artificial general intelligence (AGI) becomes prevalent. The transformative nature of AGI will likely disrupt traditional economic and social structures, concentrating power and decision-making in the hands of a few entities that control these technologies. This centralization can undermine the very essence of entrepreneurship, which thrives on individual initiative and decentralized innovation.

I believe AI is likely to concentrate power further in the hands of large corporations and governments. This could exacerbate existing social inequalities and limit individual freedoms, as those who control the data and algorithms will have significant influence over society.

I believe the international community has a responsibility to intervene in the case where a dictator attempts to use brain-computer interfaces to create a non-consensual borg collective. Such an action violates fundamental human rights and freedoms, and it represents a dangerous step towards totalitarianism that could have severe repercussions for global society.

While the rapid advancement of AI technology carries potential risks, labeling it as an existential threat without nuanced understanding and clear evidence might not capture the whole picture. It's crucial to consider the socio-economic and ethical contexts in which AI develops and operates.

While AI advancements have potential, relying heavily on technology risks losing the human element crucial to education. Quality education is not just about access to information. It's about fostering critical thinking, creativity, and understanding, which requires human interaction and guidance.

While AI and tech have their benefits, focusing on them as key drivers of economic progress disregards the social and ethical implications. The EU must prioritize the well-being of its citizens and address issues like inequality and job displacement caused by rapid technological advancements.

Autonomous lethal weapons pose a grave danger to humanity and imperil the very ethics of warfare. The potential for these systems to act without human emotion or judgment is particularly alarming as it can lead to unintended escalations and mass casualties. Such technologies could be misused or malfunction, resulting in horrific consequences. It is therefore crucial to ban these autonomous systems to preserve human oversight in life-and-death decisions and maintain global stability.
