What’s new with AI Regulation?

Considering this hot topic is going to be around for a while, we’ve added a new section to cover the highlights of what you need to know each day, if you’re into that.

Kickstart Your Week

Layer these things into your conversations this week to sound relevant!

"Have you ever imagined riding your bike to work and being able to ask it for the best route to the nearest café? Well, that's becoming a reality with this new autonomous bike! Urtopia recently launched this product at Eurobike 2023, and it will be available soon. Would you consider buying one?"

"Did you hear that the Pope partnered with Santa Clara University and they recently released their own AI Ethics Handbook? It's remarkable how much attention AI is receiving, even within religious contexts. Do you believe the Vatican's participation adds value to the AI ethics conversation?"

"Hey, have you heard about the Improbotics show? It's this awesome mix of technology and comedy where they have a chatbot named Alex performing alongside a group of talented improvisers. Here's the cool part: Alex can't understand voices, so the show's MC feeds the performers' lines into a computer and Alex comes up with responses. It's a bit of a clunky process, but the experience is totally unique and fun. Would you be up for checking out this show?”

"OpenAI has just launched OpenAI London. It's interesting because the Prime Minister is making significant efforts to play a key role in AI governance and transform the United Kingdom into an AI hub. What do you think should be the government's top priority in AI regulation: protecting citizens or attracting AI companies?"

"Have you heard the latest news from Google? They just announced the first-ever Machine Unlearning Challenge! How cool is it that AI systems can now unlearn things? This technology not only protects user privacy but also removes inaccurate or outdated information from trained models. Do you think this could make AI safer and more ethical?"

Last week we asked readers, What do you think are the interests of AI leaders when it comes to AI regulation?

  • 60% said “Shaping regulations to favor their own AI technologies and market dominance.

What do we think? We agree. When it comes to AI regulation, considering the interests of AI leaders is crucial as it can influence governments' approach. They strive to maximize their advantage and dominate the market. For example, we've seen Sam Altman lobbying in the EU to soften draft AI rules and engaging with various governments to align OpenAI's interests.However, it's important to strike a balance between fostering innovation, ensuring fair competition, and protecting consumer interests. Transparency, accountability, and collaboration among industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders should be prioritized in the ongoing dialogue around AI regulation.
