Is it smart to restrict AI development?

[Vod]

China, the EU and the US have all placed restrictions on the development of AI.  Is this a wise move?

Apple is outspending many governments on AI research.  You can be sure North Korea and Iran are working on it.   It's a genie that cannot be put back in it's botte; the first nation to get AGI (General intelligence instead of narrow or specific) will be able to shut down all other research.

Imagine a scene in a movie where a gun gets knocked and lands a few meters from two combatants.   In a matter of milliseconds they try to judge each other with their eyes, then they both jump at it.   Anyone that understands the significant and era-changing power of AI is going to do everything they can to get it first.

Restriction doesn't mean a ban on AI development, or does it? Could mean limiting what the AI developers can do or asking them to follow certain rules, which I think is ok as long as the rules prevent them from developing things that can be harmful to people/society.
One of the worst things you can give an AI is freewill with no boundaries/rules and effective kill-switch if it crosses the boundary or goes rogue. So, I think they need to figure out how to solve this.

But my point is - there is no they.   It's an absolute certainty that some agency is working on AI privately.   Unless every single group working on AI is working together, restricting a group means they will lose the race.

For example, China has agreed to restrictions.  If China suddenly announces they have a working AGI system, they will not need to fear political backlash. They won't need to fear anything anymore, except for the AI.

I appreciate the response; I don't think this is proper audience for this type of discussion.

Absolutely, even if the government says they are agreeing to the restrictions it doesn't mean they will stop developing it and why would they stop/limit the development of a technology that is going to be the future in the first place?

It's just like the race of space agencies in the late 60's era with the only difference is they want to do it secretly.

I think they have there reasons for the restrictions. The use of AI is a welcome development but abusive use of it might be the reason for such action. According to research AI has a high risk to human because the know nothing about founda mental human rights. And leave a lawless life and can be a threat to human. They has no human intelligence but act according to human command and can become a hazard in some context. Emagine some weeks ago I was watching a video on Facebook where a packaging industrial robot mistakenly crushed a human being while packaging things. Since it doesn't feel like human if not it would have noticed that it's crunching on human. Sometimes if a virus attacks a robot it can malfunction and be disastrous to human. So AI poss as a threat to human race.

Depends on what purposes

I think artificial intelligence should develop to help people

But it’s scary to think - if AI will be used for military purposes

Debatable... While China is a surveillance state and may censor to keep Western influences from its citizens, the U.S. might need to restrict content to prevent illegal activities that could cause harm. (also all other countries should make sure of it). In the EU, it is a double - edged sword, the DMCA, if not carefully implemented, could quickly slide into censorship,since it could restrict legitimate expression under the guise of copyright protection and hate speech.
