EU prepares to impose rules on artificial intelligence

As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to expand and evolve, policymakers are grappling with how to regulate these technologies in a way that protects individuals' rights and safety. The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of these efforts, with the recent announcement of strict new rules that will apply to a range of AI systems, including ChatGPT, the chat robot that has been making headlines in recent months. ChatGPT in the Crosshairs of EU's Proposed AI Regulations The EU's proposed regulations for AI use a risk-based approach, with systems classified into four groups: unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk, and minimum risk. The most stringent rules will apply to systems that fall into the unacceptable and high-risk categories, which include critical infrastructure, surgery, immigration, and border management, among others. These systems must meet strict requirements before they are released to the market, and fines of up to €30 million or 6% of ...

"Core Values": A Glimpse into China's AI Regulations

  Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant, has launched its own AI language software, "Tongyi Qianwen," competing with OpenAI's ChatGPT. However, the joy of the developers was short-lived as the Chinese government released a draft of AI regulations for the industry. The "Cyberspace Administration of China" has outlined 21 possible requirements for AI language model developers, including ensuring that content reflects the "basic values of socialism" and preventing the dissemination of information that could disrupt economic and social order. (toc) #title=(Table of Content) A Glimpse into China's AI Regulations These regulations raise questions about the need for rules to govern AI and how many is too many. While China is taking steps to regulate the industry, governments in the West must also consider similar regulations to protect users and ensure AI is aligned with their values. This move by the Chinese government has significant implications for the fut...

Why Creating an ‘Island’ for God-Like AI Might Not Be the Best Approach

The idea of developing an artificial general intelligence (AGI) has been a topic of much debate and speculation in recent years. While some argue that the potential benefits of AGI are enormous, others believe that the risks associated with developing such technology are simply too great to ignore. In a recent essay published in the Financial Times, AI investor Ian Hogarth made the case for a more cautious approach to AGI development. Specifically, he proposed the creation of a metaphorical “island” where developers could experiment with AGI under controlled and supervised conditions. But is this really the best approach? Why Creating an ‘Island’ for God-Like AI Might Not Be the Best Approach Hogarth’s proposal is based on the idea that AGI represents a significant risk to humanity. He argues that we should be cautious in our approach to developing this technology and that strict regulations are needed to prevent unintended consequences. While this argument is certainly valid, there ar...
