  > "What we need is something equivalent to GAAP [Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (United States)] for AI and algorithmic systems more generally."

    But if we are to create GAAP for AI, there is a lesson to be learned from the evolution of GAAP itself. The systems of accounting that we take for granted today and use to hold companies accountable were originally developed by medieval merchants for their own use. They were not imposed from without, but were adopted because they allowed merchants to track and manage their own trading ventures. They are universally used by businesses today for the same reason.

      So the lesson, therefore, is to divide the world into two groups of people: those who develop and operate AIs, and those who don't. Then, let the first group do whatever they want. Yes?

        Just as there are two groups of people: Those who write and those who don't. And the first group is allowed to write whatever they want.
