Algorithmic pricing is being used in Canada. Why many want it banned
Most Canadians want the government to ban or regulate the use of algorithms to set prices, a new poll suggests — with half of respondents saying the practice is unfair.

If you got around 20 min to spare and get some, in my opinion, good illustrated points about AI regulation (in particular the WHY and HOW) - here is a good video to spend some time on

How To Make AI Good For Humanity

YouTube

The #FoundationModels of AI (Transformer, LLM, call it whatever) are troublesome, not because they are deficient, but because they are endowed with #emergent behaviours that suddenly spring from 500-billion-plus trainable parameters and terabytes upon terabytes of human behavioural data. No human could grasp the aggregate meaning of that unanticipated, implicit, emergent behaviour. No human could divine the outcomes of their unforeseeable concoctions. Worse of all, all these models are inhered with biases and prejudices, both intentional and unintentional, that are embedded deep within these deep-learning models, whose untoward conducts are ever so subtle and complex as to be casually observable.

The invidious effects of these poorly-understood foundation models are insidious. By the time their detrimental behaviour becomes observable, it would be too late for society to countermand, for these models are already enmeshed within the social-political-economic fabric of the whole of humanity.

It is easy, for a lawyer like me, reflexively to shout, "#Regulate #AI". But in the present heady mix of delirium, confusion, delusion, and collusion, regulate exactly what and precisely how, pray tell.

Who will save society from AI?

Well, perhaps AI might....🤦‍♂️

Matrix multiplication is not inhered with empathy, conscience, judgement, elation, shame, and the like. Those are innately human characteristics, neither mechanical nor mathematical. Let us not surrender to the silicon-based machines the #ethical duty to be thinking, feeling carbon-based beings.

Just #clouds when I need to regulate - I look to the sky - take photos and the calm enters my body #audhd #regulate your own way #sky #photography

#regulate : to adjust by rule, method, or established mode

Recently, our #REGULATE team met in Schmitten (DE) for a writing retreat! We’re synthesizing insights on social-ecological groundwater regulation—exploring Patterns of Relation (POR) (everyday water practices) and Modes of Regulation (MOR) (norms, power, institutions) across case studies in Croatia, BiH, Germany, Spain & USA.
First manuscript draft: done! 🎉 Now refining for submission.

Sauer told justices the #tariffs are “regulatory tariffs.”

“They are not revenue-raising tariffs. The fact that they raise revenue is only incidental,” he said, arguing that #Trump was not exercising an authority to #tax but rather to #regulate foreign commerce.

But Trump has regularly touted the amount of money tariffs have purportedly brought in.
