Renowned artist Grimes has expressed her concerns about the potential negative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on children. In a recent statement, she highlighted the dangers of AI “atrophying the brain” and raised questions about the implications of exposing kids to advanced technology at a young age. Grimes, who is known for her music and art, emphasized the need for teaching digital hygiene in schools and suggested banning certain AI tools for young individuals.
Grimes, who shares children with tech tycoon Elon Musk, acknowledged the complexities of navigating the AI landscape while being a parent. Despite her reservations, she also expressed curiosity about the future of superintelligence and its role in society.
Elon Musk, on the other hand, outlined his ambitious vision for AI through his company’s chatbot, Grok, aiming to unlock profound knowledge and address fundamental questions about the universe. Meanwhile, Grimes faced criticism for her relationship with Musk but maintained her focus on the larger societal implications of AI technology.
The couple recently welcomed a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, and kept the birth of their third child, Techno Mechanicus, private until a later reveal. Grimes disapproved of certain AI features, including Open AI’s proposed erotica function, citing concerns about the ethical implications of such technologies.
In a separate development, Musk introduced a new feature called “sexy mode” for Grok 3, enabling more adult-oriented interactions. Grimes expressed worries about the potential consequences of AI on art and society, cautioning against the escalating competition in the realm of artificial intelligence.
As the debate around AI continues, Grimes remains vigilant about the impact of technology on children and society at large, emphasizing the need for responsible usage and regulation in the digital age.
