How can AI be regulated without a single global authority? Or will they propose some single global authority with exclusive access to the AI necessary to police the regulation?
Governments will advance AI as fast as positive for their own use, regardless of any international agreement to the contrary. Just like experimenting on deadly pathogens in labs.
Do you think criminal organisations will adhere to any laws?
So basically governments and criminals will have full powered AI and the rest will not.
The RIAA with all its money and power could not stop pirating. The world's government's could barely organise a response to Covid. What is it we expect this time time? Have we not seen their ineptitude when asking questions of tech executives in congressional hearings?
What is the biggest risk here?
Free access would at least enable good, freedom loving people to fight those that want to enslave them.
Remember PRISM? Who do you think is "collaborating" with these tech executives? Do you think this comes from their good hearts? Or is it fear of losing control or power?
There is a lot of theater going on here.
- jasonhansel 3y agoHow can banking be regulated without a single global authority? Or will they propose some single global authority with exclusive access to capital to police the regulation? Governments will advance banking as fast as possible for their own use, regardless of any international agreement to the contrary. Just like experimenting on deadly pathogens in labs. Do you think criminal banks will adhere to any laws? So basically governments and criminals will have full powered banking and the rest will not.
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoYou just described literally why we shouldn't Banks and private equity have destroyed democracy
- jasonhansel 3y agoI'm not sure how less banking regulation would improve that situation. Likewise with AI.
- thelittleone 3y agoVery different issues. Banking regulation may have made progress, but it's inconsistently applied even after decades (I work in global banking governance). Time is part of the problem. AI is moving at a pace even techies can barely comprehend. While you can wait a few years for banking regulations and tolerate some degree of variance, it may only take seconds, minutes, hours, or days of inconsistent global enforcement of "AI regulation" for something to wake up.
- nathansherburn 3y agoOr to use a more successful example, it could look more like our chemical weapons conventions. I'm generally all for democratization of technology, open data etc. but some technology (e.g. bomb design, the smallpox virus, chemical weapons, risky AI experiments) I don't think make sense to democratize. Sometimes regulation is the lesser of two evils.
- thelittleone 3y agoFair points. I'm skeptical not of the need to prevent certain evil uses, but that regulation will be used to prevent uses critical to freedom.
- nathansherburn 3y agoYeah I share your worry. It's pretty terrifying for anyone at all to have the power that could come from the next waves of AI.
