AI ethicists for years have been saying that building guardrails and protections around AI tools is like adding seatbelts to cars and lanes to highways, he points out. The regulation allows people to go fast in a safer way.
“You don’t get to a place of trust by just convincing people to trust companies and others, you get to it by acting,” Venkatasubramanian says. “And those actions at the national level have been few and far between. The states have tried very hard to legislate, but they’re also being hampered, ironically, by the very tech companies who parachute into states and block them from doing anything to build more trust and to put up guardrails on AI.”
In addition to regulation of energy use, pollution, and environmental impact, there must also be genuine corporate accountability, Nelson says.
“Actual governance structures with teeth,” Nelson says. “The path forward is not better messaging. It’s sharing power.”"
