Summary by Bing AI:
The article reports on the progress of the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act, which aims to be the world’s first law regulating artificial intelligence (AI). The law would introduce rules and safeguards for various applications of AI, such as facial recognition, emotional recognition, chemical weapons, and deepfakes. The article interviews Dragoș Tudorache, a Romanian MEP and co-rapporteur of the parliamentary committee that drafted the legislation. He expresses his optimism that the final text can be agreed by Wednesday, 25 October 2023, after four years of work. He also says that he is more optimistic than pessimistic about AI, as long as there are some guardrails to protect the citizens’ rights and interests.
One of these is not like the others.
yeah, why exclude biological weapons and the Kardashians
So I hear you’re in favour of chemical weapons are you?
Strongly in favour of not applying AI to chemical weapon development.
Me too, it’ll take important jobs away from human chemical weapon developers.
The ending of the original portal made that quite clear!
What about AI to counteract chemical weapons?
I wouldn’t trust the results.
I dont know. They all seem to aim at taking control over people and making them feel helpless in the face of that.
Chemical weapons are powerful as a threat in their own might, w.o. actually being used. Similiar to nuclear weapons. And a rogue government can use these tools quite efficiently to facilitate real violence against people.
