FINDING BALANCE: COMMON SENSE IN AI REGULATION

This exhibit shows that 5 AI models are big enough to be regulated by the EU AI act that will be in force in a year. It can be read two ways:

1️⃣ Critics of regulation will say that’s ridiculous, why would we burden these producers with reporting to regulators and ensuring their models are safe?

2️⃣ The other view is why wouldn’t major AI models be regulated like any other major product? Regulators represent us.

In democracies, their role is to represent the whole population, not just developers. They have to sensibly balance innovation and safety.

If they are bad, or if the rules they are enforcing are bad, in democracies we change things.

The vast majority of published AI authors see a laundry list of possible risks associated with advanced AI systems.

Just ignoring them and freeing AI developers from any oversight seems like it would be rolling the dice with humanity.

Is that what we want?
