Tore Renberg kritiserer Digitaliseringsministerns holdning til KI-sikkerhet
Tore Renberg kritiserer digitaliseringsministerens svar til fagsjef Aksel Braanen Sterri på Dagsnytt 18 den 26.09. Tung svarer: «Jeg tror ikke på dommedagsscenarioene.» - "Merk hvilket ord hun bruker: «Tror.» Som Braanen Sterri sa: Sånn kan vi ikke holde på. Vi kan ikke basere den største revolusjonen i moderne tid på tro. Det har folk forsøkt før. For hva er tro? Tro er følelser. Og menneskene i samfunnet er ikke eksperter, de er følelsesklumper. Det skal de få lov til å være. Det er den styrende parten som ikke har lov til å styre etter følelser."
