Deep dives
The Divide in AI Regulation Advocacy
The podcast discusses the divergent camps in AI regulation advocacy, specifically the 'Ethicists' and 'Doomers.' Ethicists focus on addressing current harms associated with AI technologies, such as algorithmic bias and non-consensual deepfakes, striving to mitigate risks affecting marginalized groups. In contrast, the Doomers anticipate potential future threats posed by advanced AI, speculating on existential risks to humanity. Although both groups share concerns for AI oversight, their differing priorities lead to an often polarized discourse that complicates the pursuit of common regulatory solutions.
