While the debate over government regulation of AI will certainly rage for some time the real question is, if this sort of domain-specific, super AI is so difficult for humans to comprehend how on earth can we be expected to adequately regulate it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Anton Korinek<\/a> – With the development of ever more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems, some of the world\u2019s\u00a0leading scientists, AI engineers and businesspeople<\/a>\u00a0have expressed concerns that humanity may lose control over its creations, giving rise to what has come to be called the\u00a0AI Control Problem<\/a>. The underlying premise is that our human intelligence may be outmatched by artificial intelligence at some point and that we may not be able to maintain meaningful control over them. If we fail to do so, they may act contrary to human interests, with consequences that become increasingly severe as the sophistication of AI systems rises. Indeed, recent revelations in the so-called \u201cFacebook Files<\/a>\u201d provide a range of examples of one of the most advanced AI systems on our planet acting in opposition to our society\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I lay out what we can learn about the AI Control Problem using the lessons learned from the Facebook Files. I observe that the challenges we are facing can be distinguished into two categories: the technical problem of\u00a0direct control<\/em>\u00a0of AI, i.e. of ensuring that an advanced AI system does what the company operating it wants it to do, and the governance problem of\u00a0social control<\/em>\u00a0of AI, i.e. of ensuring that the objectives that companies program into advanced AI systems are consistent with society\u2019s objectives. I analyze the scope for our existing regulatory system to address the problem of social control in the context of Facebook but observe that it suffers from two shortcomings. First, it leaves regulatory gaps; second, it focuses excessively on after-the-fact solutions. To pursue a broader and more pre-emptive approach, I argue the case for a new regulatory body\u2014an AI Control Council\u2014that has the power to both dedicate resources to conduct research on the direct AI control problem and to address the social AI control problem by proactively overseeing, auditing, and regulating advanced AI systems.
