thanks for this, I was waiting for some expert to give a critical pass at this open letter. Maybe some proposals for how we should involve regulators in AI? Because governments and institutions will enter the dance anyway.
Don't regulate AI, regulate the circumstances around it- AI changes very rapidly and is hard to track. Instead, regulate the ways it will be used, and build policies around promoting it's effects.
Promote investment into alternative AI (evolution, self-assembly etc) so that people don't misaaply technologies b/c they only know Neural Networks..
Invest into education on critical thinking, physical health, financial education etc. Much of the harm from AI is caused by people targeting weaknesses in human psyche
I agree but I still think we need to regulate the way AI is made: force companies to be transparent about the data they have trained their system on ; set rules for privacy and copyright in general and make clear accountability norms. And ideally there should be non-profit alternatives of good quality to balance the private offering.
As a tl;dr- Don't regulate AI the technology. Regulate AI the industry.
About the data transparency and regulations- very crucial. One thing I've been advocating for a while is a thrid-party audit system in AI (similar to accounting). You have experts who can go through the AI systems and rate them on various metrics. If any government wants to build on that, I will be happy to help
Do you mean that you only want to receive the weekly AI Updates (linked below )or do you mean that you only want to receive AI Made Simple articles? I'm confused because Interesting Content in AI is the title of the series, but you're not commenting there
Excuse me! You gave no arguments against AI. What your argument demonstrated was a fear of human intelligence (or stupidity) as the case may be. The knife I use to slice my veggies may as well slice my finger by accident or intention. But notice: the knife has no volition (i.e., will power) of its own. The damage is in the use, not the instrument. Check out my conversation with ChatGPT about this.https://marlrenfro.substack.com/p/in-its-own-words-gpt-subject-matter
Maybe I misunderstood you. I thought your point was that artificial intelligence was dangerous because it had the will and power to harm us. My take on artificial intelligence is that it is neither helpful nor harmful until it is used as an instrument by humans, like a knife is helpful in cutting veggies, but is harmful when used to willfully or accidentally to cut someone. If what you're pointing out is that bad people will do harmful things with AI. I don't disagree with that. I'm pretty sure they will. But, I think AI has the potential to be used to do more good, while the harms can be addressed in other ways than by banning AI.
How do you see what I said as agreeing with your article?
Nope. Devansh. I was not being sarcastic. I always try to say what I mean and mean what I say. However, I must say I was being stupid, right then. I'm sorry!
I re-read your article. I just had your thesis all wrong. I agree with much of what you have to say. Best I can figure is that already being put off by all the GAI doom porn, I hastily mistook the quoted claims regarding AI as needing to be shut down and regulated by governmental bodies as the ones your defending.
Anyway, my bad. I should have read more carefully. Best wishes, Marl

Perfect, thank you

Haha that happens. AI has been hit with a lot of hype recently, so I get what happened to you. Did a post on the business of AI hype that you might like- https://artificialintelligencemadesimple.substack.com/cp/122745299
