Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai says there is 'no question' that AI needs to be regulated
Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has called for new regulations in the world of AI, highlighting the dangers posed by technology like facial recognition and deepfakes, while stressing that any legislation must balance "potential harms ... with social opportunities."
"[T]here is no question in my mind that artificial intelligence needs to be regulated. It is too important not to," writes Pichai in an editorial for The Financial Times. "The only question is how to approach it."
Although Pichai says new regulation is needed, he advocates a cautious approach that might not see many significant controls placed on AI. He notes that for some products like self-driving cars, "appropriate new rules" should be introduced. But in other areas, like healthcare, existing frameworks can be extended to cover AI-assisted products.

What are the regulations for having, say, a lion? Or live contagious viruses? I hear pretty strict. That might be a good 'guidepost' in this area, but no one listens to me.
Whatever law and enforcement method, good luck tracking the bond villains down in their bunker supercomputing center, but it is good for us to try and at least discourage experimenting solo in your isolated lab with the various horsemen of the apocalypse. They did such a good job keeping a hold of epstein.
Wait, what? Epstein escaped? Yikes! Things must be really corrupt around here and so Im not sure about the prospects for laws like this, unless they are just talking about going after poor people who have more than 3 cpu's in their apartment. Which they might be.
fwiw I also support punishment for creating ai's and torturing them, and torturing robots. Creating sentience as a means to blow of sadistic steam is an idea we should outlaw just like we outlaw human torture.
Wait a minute, human torture is not outlawed?
oh shit. Well then, why is this guy making money to dance the kabuki and I am not, for pointing out how his deck chair arrangement is nice, but this is the titanic....
thesesystemsarefailing.net but especially that no one is following the geneva conventions and no one cares if they can use their outrage as a bargaining chip, the solemaini murder was a direct missile strike on the magna carta and habeus corpus, and the post ww2 international order, as is what they are doing to assange and manning.

Ban all neuromorphic chips for home users. All use of AI must be done through licensed spy cloud providers. Failure to comply will result in FBI agents swarming your residence.

Not sure if you have been reading what I have been posting as closely as you may think you have.
But the fbi agents are already swarming, they are just not identifying themselves because they want to be your bestest friend and radicalize you so they get a christmas bonus. Or feed behavioral data into their predictive neural net.
You do not need augmentation in order to think in a way that bothers the fbi at this point, it is the thinking itself that sets off bells and whistles at the fusion center.
You can see how well their strategy has been working, I think quite nicely, by how the very basic, clearly stated, plainly reasoned points I am making here sound like they are from neptune.

I think Broadcom, Intel, Apple, Samsung and all the others will strenuously object. If hits them in the market size.
The best solution: your phone will neuromorphingly extract the features in the captured data and the send the extracted features for AI processing in the cloud.
It will be your phone with your neuromorphic chips, just doing the work for them, all on your expense. And you'll be able to do nothing about.
