Is a chat bot a glorified search engine or something different? Which query should have crossed the line for reporting?
Can I suggest that we regulate technology based on expectations? For example, if the industry expects AGI — then set up regulations for handling AGI.
Or, you know… spend hundreds of years not regulating based on expectations — then find yourself with a sudden capacity for dystopian levels of surveillance state panopticon technology, and no legal obligation for how [not] to use it.
Chatbots are glorified search engines in many ways. Yet also, if we keep grounding our moral expectations relative to what-has-been rather than what-can-be, we’re going to find that regulation can’t keep up with technology. Worse, technology will tip the balance of power toward whoever wields it.
