Regulating AI will drive it underground, and corporations will still develop it in secret, because the military doesn’t care which regulations its weapons might breach.
If we develop AI that works, then no one will resort to AI that eats your face off.
ETA Corporations developing AI in secret will go full Stockton Rush, since launching with dangerous AI risks profit loss less than playing it safe. We’ve already had this conversation.
However, extinction by AI takeover is way cooler than extinction by overpollution, in my opinion.
Regulate does not equal stop, or even really slow for that manner. There are a number of measures we can mandate that wouldn’t slow any real research, but that would curtail malicious activity, like mandating some form of detection research to go alongside models, or pushing for better watermarking technology for genuine content.
