The Artificial Intelligence Switch

Human control over Artificial Intelligences will have to be exercised with more tools and practices: one way could be to use technologies that can easily switch from one model of artificial intelligence to another.

First of all, it is important to learn to use the term Artificial Intelligence in the plural: we are not dealing with one technology, but with thousands of products developed by a great many private or public entities, often competing or conflicting with each other, so first of all we must be clear that we are using artificial intelligences and not one Artificial Intelligence.

The idea of AI as one monstrous brain superior to the human brain is a myth that needs to be debunked, fueled mainly by the likes of OpenAI-Microsoft, Google, Meta and their Chinese competitors, who are interested in gaining a monopoly of the mass generative AI industry with an illusory all-inclusive product.

The right to switch provides that a user, in order to perform certain tasks with AI functionality, can decide to switch from one AI model to another, or even to combine several products for the execution of one complex process.

This mode of using multiple artificial intelligences, can protect users by warding off the danger of the advent of a possible monopoly, relativize the truth effect of AI, and at the same time nurture critical control over this family of technologies.
