Unfettered Innovation
- Uncontrolled, super-intelligent AI could pose an existential threat to humanity. Even before that, advanced AI could lead to massive economic disruption, autonomous weapons, and pervasive surveillance.
- "Alignment" - ensuring AI's goals are aligned with human values.
- AI systems learn from human data, which is often biased. This leads to discriminatory outcomes in hiring, lending, and criminal justice. Regulation is needed to enforce transparency and auditability to prevent "encoded discrimination."
- We must ensure AI remains a tool that serves humanity, not replaces it in all domains. Regulations should protect privacy, ensure human oversight in critical decisions (like medicine or justice), and preserve what makes us human.
- AI has the potential to solve climate change, cure diseases, and create unprecedented wealth and efficiency. Slowing this down with bureaucratic red tape is irresponsible and costly.
- This is a global race. If we over-regulate, other countries like China will win the AI race and set the global standards, which are likely to be authoritarian and contrary to our democratic values.
- The technology is still in its infancy. We don't yet know what to regulate or how. Premature regulation will lock in bad rules based on science fiction fears rather than reality, hindering beneficial applications.
