The thought that we can regulate AI to minimize the negative consequences is misguided. Did regulations have the intended effect during prohibition? Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, have you checked the statistics on gun violence in Chicago recently? Regulations are only effective to the extent that people are willing to abide by them. There always has been and always will be, someone who will go against regulations if it advantageous to them. I am not naive, that train has already left the station and I don’t believe it will be stopped. Pandora’s box has been opened and nobody knows where all of this is going to end.
Different types of regulations completely. The regulations they speak of are things like trying to make the tools needed for AI more transparent and auditable by businesses and entities. The reason why that can work as a starting point is because the AI that the leaders fear, like ChatGPT level of developed AI, isn't just hanging out on the streets for anyone to break the law and gain access to, its the AI being developed by companies and governments with no rules or regulations in place. It took over $500M to develop ChatGPT. It took 10,000 of the most powerful GPUs available to power it's research and keep it running, and that's not even mentioning taking some of the brightest minds to tie it all together. That's why leaders like Musk, Hinton and Altman are working with government leaders to get the conversation started, because it's not some criminal on the streets of Chicago they are scared of. It's the companies in the AI arms race that developing to quick, and went from research to for profit to soon.
