Some projects are abusing the technology, but not all of them thats for sure, what i stumbled on a few moments ago and what got my attention is this:

“We are creating an ecosystem in which anyone around the world can participate in educating an artificial intelligence,” says Isaac Bang, project lead for Mind AI.

The plan? To democratize access to AI through a crowdsourced database.

“Mind AI’s operation depends on two critical components: the core AI engine and the ontology database,” says Mind AI’s Chief Scientist, John Doe. “The ontologies, or the accumulated knowledge, are the fuel to the AI engine – without them, the AI engine cannot perform any reasoning.”

These two components, however, are kept separate. “The core AI engine is centralized, while the ontology database will be distributed and co-owned by everyone who contributes and submits ontologies,” explained Mr. Doe. In the future, Mind AI plans to decentralize the core AI engine.

This means that Mind AI cannot operate as a centralized entity and use the power of AI for self-interest or malicious purposes, since the community of ontologists (co-owners of the ontologies) can vote to activate a kill switch to disable access to the ontology database.
