Speed vs Morality with AI

What happens when the speed of updating an AI becomes more important than imbuing it with a sense of morality? Read The Bull at the Gate... Who will be there to pick up the pieces?

What Happens When AI Moves Faster…

Many people today are anxious about the relentless advance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) — and rightly so. One of the biggest fears is that AI, particularly large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, will take jobs from real people. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

ChatGPT may be the most famous LLM, but it’s far from the only one. As with cryptocurrency — where Bitcoin was the pioneer and is still the most respected — there are now countless AI models being developed, many of which you’ve probably never heard of.

And that’s precisely the danger.

Bitcoin brought innovation. Many of the cryptocurrencies that followed, however, were created for one purpose: to enrich their founders, with little regard for the damage they might do. In the same way, many new AI models may be designed not for progress or public good, but simply to help employers cut costs — by replacing human workers, en masse.

What happens when AI advances with no moral framework? When development outpaces ethical safeguards?

We risk unleashing a wave of automation not tempered by fairness, but driven by profit. What happens to millions of people in countries with inadequate social security systems when their jobs vanish overnight?

The possibilities are bleak: mass unemployment, famine, disease, civil unrest — even civil war.

I explore these issues in my novel The Bull at the Gate. It’s not science fiction. It’s speculative, but grounded in today’s real, rapidly changing world.

📘 Read it now for a rude awakening — or a confirmation of your worst fears.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
