Urgent Call for AI Regulation: Humanity May Lose Its Initiative
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa emphasized that artificial intelligence must be immediately restricted by laws before it takes control of humanity.
Speaking in Oslo, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa warned that if artificial intelligence technologies are not urgently regulated, humanity will completely lose its own will and initiative.
Artificial Intelligence and Human Will
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa stated that artificial intelligence is taking control of humanity and expressed that legal restrictions must be introduced right now.
A Matter of Public Safety
Ressa argued that AI regulations should not be treated as a freedom of speech issue, but directly as a matter of public safety.
Three Waves of Artificial Intelligence
Ressa divided the development of artificial intelligence into three: the social media wave, chat bots that hack biology by establishing intimacy, and multi-agent systems targeting human will.
Responsibility of Tech Companies
Stating that the first step of change is holding technology companies accountable for the damages they cause, Ressa welcomed steps like age limits taken by the EU and Australia.
Public Communication Platforms
Rappler co-founder Ressa proposed the establishment of encrypted, decentralized communication platforms operating in the public interest, away from the control of big tech companies.
