It’s time to get serious about regulating artificial intelligence before things get out of hand.
The erupting world of artificial intelligence poses a threat to jobs, political stability, world peace and health and even, as leading AI figures warned last week, the existence of mankind.
The concept of digital disinformation is not new. We’ve seen it proliferate for decades now on the internet and, more recently, on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. And we’ve seen the owners of those platforms disavow responsibility, hiding behind a federal law that shields them from responsibility for the falsehoods posted on their platforms.
Section 230 was passed by Congress in 1996, two years before Google was founded and eight years before Facebook started. It’s outdated but remains on the books unaltered. The law says that online content publishers cannot be held liable for “material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing or otherwise objectionable.”
