    Good thing our governments are totally on top of making sure this doesn’t cause some kind of crisis /s

      Unfortunately international competition will prevent any country from enacting sane and effective regulation. The first country that moves to restrict AI development and implementation will quickly fall behind the other countries without restrictions.

      The only thing that would really work would be a global agreement to limit development, but I can’t see that happening anytime soon, or nations like China, Iran, or India actually respecting such limits even if they were agreed upon.

        Really? That’s the only thing? Or maybe just unemployment, something that’s been around for almost 100 years.

          This might work after the AI systems have already become a major problem, and unemployment affects a large percentage of the population.

          It won’t prevent AI systems from becoming a major problem in the first place.

          I would much rather have the prevention than a cure.

        If enough people find themselves without a way to put food on the table, that country might find a sudden and severe obstacle to their economic prospects.

          The rich people who own and benefit from the AI systems and have control over the governments and major businesses will be the last ones to feel the economic impact. When (and if) they do they will simply move to another country that is not yet failing, because people in this group experience no national loyalty and feel no remorse for their exploitation. They will move on to another place that they can draw profit from until that is also burnt out.

          By that point the AI systems will already be developed and implemented and it will be too late to establish any functional regulation.

              Ok, I am talking about a way to avoid the world getting to the point of “If enough people find themselves without a way to put food on the table”. I want us to address the AI problem before countries find “sudden and severe” obstacles to their economic prospects.

              How do we do that, if not by regulation? What can we talk about that leads to prevention?

              We need to be proactive, not reactive.

                I agree, but that was my response to the likely attitude of the wealthy, businesses and their government supporters that you pointed out, who will oppose regulations.

                They can’t expect to move out of the way forever as they make the living conditions of average people untenable everywhere. The people’s unrest has been constantly rising.
