Just FYI, regulations don't prevent murder.
There needs to be a technological solution.
- alexashka 13d ago> There needs to be a technological solution You mean Minority Report?
- naravara 13d agoRegulations do prevent murder, you just put consequences on doing murder to deter people from doing it.
- gspr 13d agoI do think that regulations prevent some murders. I think lots of companies and some sociopathic individuals would be more likely to kill people, e.g. for profit, if it were legal. We need both regulations and technical solutions.
- holmesworcester 13d agoThis. Also because when encountering a new socio-technical problem it is very non-trivial to determine which one of regulations or technical solutions are easier or more effective. To even make a good guess you need to be an expert in both domains, which is extremely rare especially in this case.
- lenerdenator 13d agoTechnically, they do already kill people for profit. When some coked-out analyst in Manhattan projects what a company will be able to earn in profit in the next fiscal quarter, people listen to him and thus, the company must perform to that standard. Budgets are set accordingly. If you have a maintenance backlog at a company facility, and that backlog includes things likely to cause injury or death to workers or the general public, that backlog must be handled in such a way as to satisfy that projection. If that means that you don't spend money to replace a series of gauges that alert operators as to overflow of a dangerous chemical, or don't hire enough people so that the operators are too fatigued to do their jobs safely, that's what that means. The US CSB documents these as the cause of the 2005 BP Amoco Texas City disaster [0] If you don't deliver the quarterly numbers expected, investors get mad, and in our current system and regulatory regime, that's worse than people being killed.

- arborescence 13d agoI agree tech response is important here but like the deterrent effect of criminal prohibition on murder probably does prevent at least some murders.
- afarah1 12d agoJust call it war and it's no longer criminal. Perhaps on terror, or whatever. If one is concerned with this sort of scenario, this talk about corporations and regulations is really short sighted.
- gmerc 13d agoCorporate Death Penalty absolutely would prevent future murders.
- tintor 12d agoWorld is much more safer place now than in the entire history.
- jay_kyburz 12d agoYes and you need to keep it simple too. AI should not have access to the internet. It would be nice and clear to put into law too. If you want to talk to it you walk up walk up to its keyboard and screen. If Anthropic and Open AI want to sell us AI's they can ship us a box that lives in our offices.
- dingaling911 12d agoI can only imagine a GPDR-type regulation with ridiculous fines for rogue agents. Black or white access will restrain creativity and potential.
