You’re absolutely right and I’m glad you brought that up. The international dimension, especially with countries like China that won’t slow down for ethics or accountability is one of the biggest challenges in this whole debate. Once the genie’s out, it’s not just about managing our models it’s about how to compete in a world where not everyone plays by the same rules.
That said, I don’t think the answer is to just remove all guardrails here, because we’d be handing over trust in our systems without any accountability, which is exactly what the bad actors want. Instead, I’d argue for smart safety practices ones that don’t cripple innovation, but help us build tech we can actually defend and stand behind when things go wrong.
Like you said, AI could absolutely be used for good. But without some kind of shared framework; even a voluntary one backed by industry, we risk building a monster we can’t reason with. The key is doing it better than our adversaries, not blindly faster.
And I believe we can do that.
Yeah, we gave China most favored nation status in the WTO because we thought they would play by the rules, if we did so. How did that work out? The answer is obvious, not well at all for the U.S. & world, but it worked out marvelously for China.
However, when you think about it for a while, I will be interested in hearing how you put guardrails on AI, that doesn't produce the same results as bestowing most favored nation status worked out for China following the rules in the WTO. On yet another issue, what has China done to reduce world pollution?
I think another thing to ponder is that ignoring evil as if it doesn't really exist, only begats more evil to rise. I believe we are seeing that happening, but probably not for the first time, because evil has risen its head many time, and it usually takes force & war to rein evil back in.
Give someone an inch, and they will eventually have taken a mile.
While I agree that guardrails are needed, those guardrails can not be implemented worldwide, and any attempt to do so, will be ignored by those so inclined to ignore them, including those within our own borders. So, by what method can we use to enforce the guardrails?
Like I said, it is an extremely complex problem for which I see no real solution, other than all out war, or the Lord asserting the powers he possesses, which I personally would welcome. Perhaps if we get a majority together we can summon him. It's worth a try. 🙂👍
