Mark Consigli is a coprorate lawyer with decades of experience and a particular interest in the Law and AI. Listen to the implications and opportunities presented by this fab new tech we don't understand!
This isn't our first rodeo with potentially dangerous new tech. The printing press, industrial revolution - all sparked alarm about instruments that might unbridle an underclass.
But stifling innovation is rarely the wisest solution. Curbing AI may numb humanity's progress - which ethically speaking, seems questionable.
Still, some control is prudent. Without reins, AI could become a raging bull bearing down on civilisation. Regulations should focus on nefarious applications, not neutering the tech itself. If you've used AI of late and ask it anything that might offend, you will have a hell of a time getting the answers you want if it triggers the "I'm offended" switch. I write to offend, challenge, provoke and it's a pain in the ask not questions!
Banning deepfakes? Reasonable. Demanding open-source models? Dodgy. Transparency welcomingly weeds out biases. Opaqueness rightly raises eyebrows. But a model's IP has pecuniary value. Are transparency demands ethical? Are the LLM creators ripping off creators?
Give people agency over data-privacy, sure. But don't be daft - zero risk means zero innovation. Trial and error is innovation's bosom buddy. Any of you Web 3.0 or crypto folks got anythng to say about this?
Education counteracts blind AI faith. Remember - garbage in, garbage out. AI isn't a soothsaying sage - it's a data-crunching calculator. A very obedient 8 year old who does what you tell it. If you responses aren't good THAT's ON YOU and your terrible questions!
Involve all stakeholders when hatching regulations - technocrats, academics, ethicists, lawmakers. Deliberately balance. Reactiveness is reasoning's Achilles heel.
Uphold ethics and principles, don't throttle progress. Freedom of expression needn't foster mayhem. This is a technical tightrope, not a legislative see-saw.
Walk wisely. AI could either augur our ascent or trigger our downfall. The choice is ours. Choose judiciously. And wait for Quantum and Ai to go together! BOOOM!
