Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, believes that concerns about the existential risks of AI are a distraction from more practical issues such as privacy and bias.
He is confident that governments can effectively regulate AI using frameworks that have been successful in the past, citing the regulation of aviation and the internet as examples.
Suleyman emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and limits for AI to ensure human oversight and enforceable laws.
He calls for a combination of broad, international regulation and smaller, more granular policies at the micro level.
Suleyman suggests limiting AI's ability to improve itself as a critical first step in ensuring human oversight.
He also highlights the need for governments to have direct access to AI developers to enforce boundaries and establish clear regulations.
Governments worldwide, including the European Union and China, are already working on AI regulations.
