None of the things I listed would affect research. Researchers shouldn't be posting these on public highways, and researchers shouldn't be distributing them with the intent to cause harm.
- mrfox321 5y agoIt would once the govt gets involved. It's like saying that weapons research is just a free-for-all. The amount of regulation is correlated with the potential harm to society. Look at drug research. There is plenty of red tape that hinders it. Although, here, the "harm to society" is defined by the nation state. However, I agree with your proposals in the top-level comment.
- d110af5ccf 5y agoThis is naive. > researchers shouldn't be distributing them with the intent to cause harm It could be used to cause harm and publishing your work is distributing it (by definition). Similar laws have been (and are) used to target people for unjust reasons. Defacing street signs is already illegal. Making various abstract drawings illegal to wear on your clothing (or print on a sticker) is a terrible idea. If the algorithm used by a product can't handle a pedestrian wearing a sweatshirt with an adversarial example on it then that product simply isn't suitable for public use.
