What are your thoughts on the morality of helping a company like Meta teach an AI how to manipulate humans?

Meta has no plans to turn CICERO into a product and that was never the goal. This is purely AI research that we have open sourced for the wider research community. I think there are a lot of valuable lessons that the research community can learn from this project. -NB

I love that Meta open-sourced this. I think that's an important point. I really saw this is a way Meta is giving back to the AI community and the scientific ocmmunity in general and that's one of the reasons I agreed to join this project. I think it is far better for advances like this to come from open academic research than from top secret programs so it is a major ethical tick for Meta that they invest in research like this. -AG
