The smokescreen that the likes of Musk and Altman have conjured, according to Veatch, is meant to obfuscate the fact that the institutes and think tanks associated with their EA are rooted in a new pursuit of race science, with AI as the vehicle, at “elite” universities including Oxford University and some of the Ivy League schools in the U.S. And like Stanford had the likes of Shockley and McCarthy, EA has its academic standard bearer as well - Nick Bostrom. The founding director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, the Swedish-born Bostrom wrote the book, Superintelligence, which argues that if created, superintelligence (which is essentially another word for AGI), would be difficult to control, and that it could take over the world in order to accomplish its goals. The book also presents strategies to help make superintelligences whose goals benefit humanity.
Yet as Veatch reveals, Bostrom himself is a modern-day eugenicist who believes superintelligence can be achieved through technological advancement or by selective embryos that reproduce favorable genes. Bostrom’s views are so extreme that journalist Andrew Anthony wrote a piece for The Guardian entitled, Eugenics on Steroids: The Toxic and Contested Legacy of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute. Therein, Anthony notes, “Fifteen months ago Bostrom was forced to issue an apology for comments he’d made in a group email back in 1996, when he was a 23-year-old postgraduate student at the London School of Economics. In the retrieved message Bostrom used the N-word and argued that white people were more intelligent than black people.” Veatch expands on this issue in the documentary, reminding viewers that while Bostrom apologized for using the N-word, he still held that white people are more intelligent than Black people and he should have stated this “fact” differently. Bostrom’s views are troubling enough - yet what is perhaps more troubling are the people who he’s influencing including Musk and Altman, according to Veatch. Even Bill Gates is featured on the cover of Bostrom’s book proclaiming, “I highly recommend this book.”
The history and current trends of AI technology and the Big Tech cartels as presented in Ghost in the Machine adroitly demonstrates the white supremacist genealogy of AI and proves that the ghost in the machine is indeed white “supremacy” ideology that informs and influences the Techbro oligarchs who produce the large language models (LLMs) that optimize and increase the efficiency of spreading paradigms that hold there is a master white race who define what humanity is and even who and what a human is. Additionally, Veatch successfully demonstrates how Big Tech oligarchs have now positioned themselves to command immense amounts of capital and use it to secure access to governmental bodies, universities, and other elements of our entire society.
