Andrew Ng’s take on California's proposed law SB-1047 is spot on: “There are many things wrong with this bill, but I’d like to focus here on just one: It defines an unreasonable “hazardous capability” designation that may make builders of large AI models potentially liable if someone uses their models to do something that exceeds the bill’s definition of harm (such as causing $500 million in damage). That is practically impossible for any AI builder to ensure. If the bill is passed in its present form, it will stifle AI model builders, especially open source developers. Some AI applications, for example in healthcare, are risky. But as I wrote previously, regulators should regulate applications rather than technology. Technology refers to tools that can be applied in many ways to solve various problems.Applications are specific implementations of technologies designed to meet particular customer needs. Safety is a property of applications, not a property of technologies (or models), as Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor have pointed out. Whether a blender is a safe one can’t be determined by examining the electric motor. A similar argument holds for AI.” #publicpolicy #policy #ai #machinelearning #ml #compliance #technology #society #sb1047 #opensourcesoftware #oss
