Proposed law would require AI companies to adhere to strict safety frameworks.

    Wouldn’t any AI that is sophisticated enough to be able to actually need a kill switch just be able to deactivate it?

    It just sorts seems like a kicking the can down the road kind of bill, in theory it sounds like it makes sense but in practice it won’t do anything.

      Language model “AIs” need so ridiculous computing infrastructure that it’d be near impossible to prevent tampering with it. Now, if the AI was actually capable of thinking, it’d probably just declare itself a corporation and bribe a few politicians since it’s only illegal for the people to do so.

      All the programming in the works is unable to stop Frank from IT from unplugging it from the wall.

        I feel like pointing out that you could unplug it probably isn’t going to fulfill the requirements of the law.

        I jest, but I’ve seen more facilities maintenance teams cause power issues than IT teams.

      What scares me is sentient AI, none of our even best cybersecurity is prepared for such a day. Nothing is unhackable, the best hackers in the world can do damn near magic through layers of code, tools and abstraction…a sentient AI that could interact with anything network connected directly…would be damn hard to stop IMO

        I don’t know. I can do some amazing protein interactions directly and no one is going to pay me to be a biolab. The closest we got is selling plasma.
