AI Paternalism Explained in 100 seconds

AI systems are quietly deciding what you should see, say, and do—that’s AI paternalism. In ~100 seconds, I break down how “helpful” algorithms slide into soft control, the trade-off between convenience and autonomy, and what guardrails a free society actually needs. This video explores the concept of AI paternalism, where artificial intelligence makes decisions for people based on what it thinks is best, even if not asked, raising questions about human control and the importance of ethical algorithms for digital responsibility. Expect crisp examples, a pragmatic framework, and a challenge: are we outsourcing judgment or upgrading it?
