Sen. Rand Paul on the risks of regulating AI
Show transcript
There will probably end up being both self-regulation on those who create AI, but I suspect that users will have to have protection as well. The same way you have virus protection, I think you're going to probably be buy AI protection against rogue AI. It isn't going to be against the people who obey the law, it's going to be people like nefarious nations or criminal gangs. But AI will be just be to me a more sophisticated way to try to steal stuff from you. So you're going to have to have AI to combat rogue AI. But I don't fear it really, and I think it's too soon to be mandating, you know, crazy one-line bills to regulate all of AI when we don't even really know what's going on yet or haven't, you know, if you're going to write a bill to regulate it, wouldn't you bring in some of the people who write the code and ask them what are the problems and what do you think government should do? So I don't think rash acting like that is logical.
