No AI Regulation Will ‘Hold Us Back,’ Says Microsoft Scientist
At a meeting of the the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, Microsoft’s chief scientist stated that bans on AI regulation could have a negative impact on the development of the technology.
“It’s up to us as scientists to communicate to government agencies, especially those right now who might be making statements about no regulation, this is going to hold us back. Guidance, regulation, and reliability controls are part of advancing the field, making the field go faster in many ways.” – Dr Eric Horvitz, chief scientist at Microsoft
This is at odds with what many believe, which is that regulations hamper progress by adding unnecessary red tape. However, according to the chief scientist from one of the biggest companies driving the evolution of AI, that is not necessarily the case.
