The March 4 CITI Fellows seminar featuree a Fellows Roundtable among ourselves on the general topic "AI: can it, should it, how would it, and will it be regulated?".
In December, Russ Neuman told us that AI regulation would be like trying to nail Jell-o to the wall. Eric Schmidt suggested "a robust economy of testing" by other powerful AIs. CITI Fellow Bill Lehr has investigated Smart Contracts. A bibliography of AI issues and proposals would populate pages. We could focus on how regulatory policy could shape the pressing issues faced by the U.S. and the world, including climate change, inequality, the creation of good jobs, a new global trade regime, and so on.
A recent draft report by Jason and Eli is linked, surveying the current state of AI regulation in America (Part I), and discussing alternatives to the regulatory approach (Part II).
