Davidson Potts0:00 So artificial intelligence is impacting everything from just a standard job application to now global security.0:08 It's going stronger and stronger every single day.0:10 And so it's a real challenge for policymakers is just how to harness this immense power while managing at serious risk because I think it's coming to a point where the government needs to be involved and control it from just taking over our lives entirely.0:27 Because you've got people for these AI companies, like at O OpenAI just saying that it's just gonna it's gonna be everything.0:35 It's gonna take over our lives.0:36 And on one side we have the need for guardrails to prevent algorithms from automating bias, to stop the f like stop spread of deep fakes and whatnot, and to even ensure accountability when AI systems fail in critical conditions like medicine or infrastructure.0:53 There's also the side of fear like a fear of the innovation.0:58 Just we have overly strict rules in some places that could lock out small startups or even tech companies development and cure diseases or solve like AI can be good, it has its benefits.1:11 So there's two paths.1:12 You can see EU is currently has a risk-based path.1:15 They're trying to stick down on it, banning dangerous outright use of it, as it should be.1:21 And you the US doesn't really have anything going on right now.1:25 So Delisman asks, should we implement more comprehensive mandatory safety regulations now before it's too late?1:32 And what do you guys think about that?
Casey Comerford0:00 Yeah, Davidson, that's a very interesting topic.0:03 I do think the government needs to have some sort of intervention or regulation, but only when it comes to just making sure that you know these companies and whoever's you know uh pouring money into and developing these AI um models is doing so in an ethical manner and making sure they're not using the AI essentially to harm other people or the country um or even other countries for that matter.0:29 Um and essentially that I think that's all that the government needs to regulate.0:33 And how they do that is tough because you could have much smaller companies that might fly under the radar when it comes to AI and these private startups that are I mean, everyone's one chopping at the bit to dive into you know this AI development, because this is you know could be the next gold mine for America and the world.0:50 Um and obviously as a government you want to support that, you know, you want to support these businesses to grow using AI as that would be a big big hit for the economy, um, stock market, all that stuff, which you know there's a lot of speculation around right now, especially in the United States.1:05 Um so it is a tough, tough concept to say, but like AI is a great tool, but it can also be a great weapon.1:13 Um and I would say 99.99% of the people developing this AI want to do it for you know for their own business um organization and development um or for education or health care, you know, the medical side of things, and it'll be a great tool.1:30 So I don't know how the government steps in and just monitors just occasionally to make sure that these companies are using it ethically and not you know in a harmful manner.1:39 Um but I mean if just a handful of of you know these developers are developing AI for harmful reasons, um, you know, that could be detrimental to people's lives, the country and uh as a whole.1:53 Um so it's an and it's an interesting topic.1:56 So you do want to have some sort of regulation without slowing down the development.1:59 Um and what that is is gonna take a team of experts to figure out.
Vansh Patel0:00 Davidson, I think you brought up a very prevalent issue right now and an issue that's slowly becoming a global epidemic and especially to our country.0:09 I mean, as you mentioned, it is a threat to national security, but also it is becoming a threat to our democracy as well.0:20 And to explain that, I know in the past election there are some AI companies that are able to produce images, quotes, uh videos that look almost realistic, and a lot of the older generation isn't able to tell it apart.0:38 So uh the rise of social media and the incorporation of AI is causing a threat to our democracy in the sense that it's it has the potential to sway elections.0:52 I mean I know one of the newest apps that had just came out called Sora AI is able to make videos using uh AI prompts that I can't even tell apart as a 19-year-old at Georgia Tech.1:10 I mean some of these videos are getting almost too realistic and I think one I think one thing I would put in place to kind of correct this is I would make uh transparency and disclosures mandatory with all AI, whether it be a customer service form or a generated image or video.1:37 I think transparency should be mandated.1:41 That's something that could really help uh us decipher what's real and what's fake out there nowadays.1:47 So yeah, excellent point.1:50 And I think that would be my first step uh to prevent a global epidemic of AI.
Adi Patel0:00 Yeah, Davidson, I think you bring up a really good point about how the US has really been slacking, especially on measures on how to protect ourselves from this up and coming technological revolution.0:11 I guess that's the way to put it.0:13 Um I didn't I didn't know that the yet Europe or Britain has been starting to implement AI uh limitations, and I think that's something the US, especially as a government, should start definitely looking up on.0:25 Because as you said, AI is getting better and smarter and bigger each and every day.0:31 Um there's this uh doubling rule at or this this rate that um AI doubles every other year.0:39 And so in the next year and a half, its generative power is gonna double.0:43 And every single year, year every other year after that, it just keeps doubling.0:48 And so it gets to a point where AI is gonna have this generative power to think on its own.0:54 And once that happens, how are we as humans gonna be able to stop them?0:59 And so it's an interesting point.1:01 I think the US government definitely start putting some implications on AI and how how extremely fast it's building up.1:11 Um there's a lot of curiosity and uncertainty with the use of AI and how it's gonna expand, how it's gonna play a role in our lives in the future.1:20 And I think it may be too late already.1:23 I mean, who knows?1:25 But I think the US should definitely start looking into implementing some sort of rule, some sort of piece of legislation that I mean limits the use of AI, because I mean at the end of the day, it's getting smarter, it's getting stronger, it's getting better every day.1:40 So who knows?1:41 Who knows what's gonna happen next.
