The term “artificial intelligence” is receiving prominence it never had before. Whilst much of that “AI” is simply “computer programs”, a substantial proportion is either genuine AI technique or derivative. With prominence or wide-spread use comes the discussion - or even threat - of regulation.
This discussion may include such elements as:-
- What is the nature of “AI” that makes it different from “ordinary” software, and therefore requires particular regulation?
- What are the ethical implications of AI that mean regulation should even be considered?
- What alternatives are there to regulation? Eg code of conduct? No regulation?
- Why is ordinary regulation - eg GDPR - not sufficient?
- How could AI be regulated, given that, by its very nature, it is frequently non-deterministic and learns in-flight and therefore can (correctly) exhibit unexpected behaviours?
- What sort of regulation should be applied specifically to AI?
- Who should we trust to determine any regulations? Who should that regulatory body be?
- Could an over-strong or simplistic regulatory framework simply hinder development of AI in the UK?
- Would regulations need to be global to be effective? If so, how are global regulations to be agreed?
- Assuming AI has a rapid development (will it?) over the next 25 years, how can regulations be future-proofed?
- Should the development, rather than the deployment, of AI be regulated?
- Will regulations ever need to consider “machine rights”?
