Trump’s plan to ban US states from AI regulation will ‘hold us back’, says Microsoft science chief
- Microsoft's chief scientist, Dr. Eric Horvitz, warns that a proposed ban by Donald Trump on state-level regulations of artificial intelligence could hinder progress rather than accelerate it.
- The Trump administration aims to implement a 10-year ban on US states from creating laws restricting or regulating AI models, systems, or decision-making systems.
- Concerns are raised over China potentially leading the race to human-level AI, prompting the proposed ban.
- Horvitz emphasizes the importance of regulation to address issues like misinformation, inappropriate persuasion, and malevolent activities leveraging AI technology.
- Microsoft is part of a lobbying effort supported by other tech giants to enact a decade-long moratorium on state-level AI regulation.
- Horvitz stresses that guidance, regulation, and reliability controls are essential for advancing AI and ensuring faster progress in the field.
- There is debate surrounding the risks of unregulated AI development, with concerns about catastrophic outcomes due to prioritizing short-term profit over safety.
- Microsoft has a significant investment in OpenAI and is working towards achieving human-level artificial general intelligence (AGI).
- Predictions vary on when AGI will be achieved, with estimates ranging from a few years to decades.
- The Meta chief scientist believes AGI could be decades away, while Mark Zuckerberg announced a $15bn investment to strive for 'superintelligence'.
