Why Is Regulating Artificial Intelligence So Tricky?

Regulations for AI systems already exist. This trend will continue. Unfortunately, our society tends to be reactive instead of proactive.

Do you think eventually robots will work instead of humans?

I think what will change are the economics of work. Instead of forcing yourself to go into a job that you don’t like just for a paycheck, with the right systems in place, people will be able to do the work they find interesting or important.

Why develop AI when we can develop automation without it?

There are limits to current automation. Would you like to completely automate your grocery deliveries to your house? During this COVID-19 pandemic, it would be more than a convenience.

Are animals comparable to robots given how instinctive and semi-automated they are?

If the ultimate goal of robotics and AI is to make machines that behave like animals (including humans), then this will require both embedded and learned behavior. What’s most important, though, is the sense of complex emotions to get machine minds to become as sophisticated as animal minds.

What are the pros and cons of doctors and surgeons being replaced by AIs or robots?

Doctors are human. They have egos, insecurities, limited patience, limited capacity, limited energy, limited cognitive abilities, limited experience. They are not able to easily absorb information from different specialties. They don’t have the time to learn both medicine and engineering. Their decisions are biased by earlier decisions and past successes/failures, even if unrelated. Machines don’t suffer these shortcomings.

What do you think of artificial intelligence being in charge of government and political decisions?

AIs can be quite helpful in government and politics without having to become our overlords.

Will artificial intelligence increase or decrease the privacy problem in the world?

AI like any other technology has the potential to improve lives, reduce injustice and inequalities, and unburden people. Alternatively, it can be used to reduce the quality of life, increase injustice and inequality, and unfairly burden people. It’s all a matter of how people decide to use it. It’s never a matter of the technology, itself.‍

Why do people use Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence incorrectly and as buzzwords so often?

I feel your pain. I’ve experienced this frustration, too. Over time, though, I’ve come to understand perhaps why this is happening. I’ll share my thoughts with you so that you may have some sympathy for the next person that uses these terms incorrectly.

Are quantum computers the next step towards self-aware AI? Could they become Skynet?

No. Quantum computers are not a magical technology that makes a machine self-aware simply because it was applied.
