What is everyone thoughts on AI regulation? Imo, there needs to be an AI safety regulatory body with an accompanying regulation like there is for aerospace under the FAA and DO178 or medical tech under the FDA and ISO 13485. Yeah you can whine about "slowing innovation" but AI needs to be treated like a potentially dangerous tech on the order of nuclear energy.
It would not be the first technology to be regulated and it wont be the last. Those other techs were regulated for safety, and the US still maintains a competative advantage anyhow. This would not only cause the AI companies to slow their roll, and protect jobs by regulating what AI can and cant do (looking at you health insurance companies using AI to deny claims), but also create jobs by virtue of the regulation just like it has for these other fields. Compliance and audit professionals, safety critical engineers, QA analysts, etc. make up a huge part of biotechnology and aerospace. You could create an entire industry around AI safety and alignment.
