Schneier is asking for an dedicated, FAA-like Robot/AI governmental regulatory agency.
I do not believe we need one.
Farm implements have been killing us for far longer, and in far larger numbers. (approx. 20 deaths per 100K, out of 2.1mm in agro in 2020. [1]) Yet, we do not have a "tractor overturn death prevention agency (TODPA)" There is already ROPS 1928.51.
In the USA, re-evaluating the OSHA requirements would reduce the number of at-work robot accidents.

- bell-cot 3y agoTHIS. But add in all the accidents with non-"robot" industrial machinery, and mine accidents, and people killed by livestock, and etc. The problem is millennia old. Yes, the regulations do need to be savvy about the more-complex ways that robots and AI's can go wrong. But that is also true of industrial accidents at a large chemical works. If Tank 372 is full, and Valve 8601b has a faulty sensor, and ... and ... and BOOM.
