Autonomous harm caused by AI does not stem from human motives. This stark reality prompts many to question whether artificial intelligence should face regulation. The debate around this topic is intensifying, fueled by fears of the worst possible outcomes stemming from advanced AI systems.
Such apprehensions are understandable. However, concentrating solely on the dire consequences AI might produce could lead to regulatory measures that inadvertently stifle the technology’s potential benefits. AI holds promise for significantly enhancing human welfare, especially through breakthroughs in medicine and drug discovery.
Therefore, any discussion about AI regulation should incorporate its possible advantages into the risk assessment process. Regulations that are poorly crafted may introduce their own set of risks, potentially curbing the progress AI can offer.
