Scott Wiener would have been all smiles if Gov. Gavin Newsom opted to sign his supposedly landmark bill to govern development of new artificial intelligence devices and programs in California.This bill, originally, was also intended as a model for other states to follow, but it fell far short of that. Instead, it was so watered down in the legislative process, so dumbed down for the sake of political convenience that it might as well have contained no new rules.
But here’s the real question for Wiener and why governor possibly vetoed his bill: Why set up a complicated, often obfuscated, so-called protection against harmful robots and mechanical minds when simple rules that could protect against all kind of problems were laid out about 82 years ago by a leading scholar and science-fiction author?
Rather than offering this kind of wide but simple protection, politics interferes. Some opponents questioned even the softened Wiener bill that eliminated a previously proposed state department specializing in safety measures for A.I. devices in all forms. Instead, they would be submitted for approval to the attorney general’s office, never known for its cybernetic genius.
Then there’s the state’s legitimate concern that it not set up rules so tough they threaten to drive out the newest potential high tech economic engine, one that’s already picking up some of the slack for companies like Tesla and Toyota, which moved headquarters to other states. The advantage to starting with simple rules to govern an industry that has previously had few is that it allows for designing new rules as need for them is demonstrated, and leaving people and companies alone to develop new A.I. functions and wrinkles with little interference from government agencies unless circumstances demand they step in.
