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.

When the world goes the way of AI it will be the humans that are treated like robots. It will all be black and white to the machines.
Want to get into college? Forget your personality, you better look great on paper.
Need some medical attention? Well, your history shows you aren't very agreeable, money would be better spent elsewhere.
Charged with a crime you didn't commit? The data shows you have a 79% chance of being the perpetrator and no one else is in the database.
Need a loan? Remember that time in 3rd grade when you stole from the lunch cafeteria?
Came straight from work? The system shows you stopped in the red-light district. You're a pervert and a liar ey?
Most people will be fine with this system until one day they fall outside of the system and realize there are no human minds left to appeal to.

Humans are lazy, stinky, disloyal, and don't comply with instructions. So they should be treated worse than mindless robots.
There is no red-light district. Assuming they can even get employment, humans will come straight home from work and come straight into a robot snatch.

Liar: nope, came straight at the red light district. Pervert: nope, didn't come *at* work.
Bullets dodged.
