New column in JOTA analyses the unexpected consensus between Gates, Bengio, Amodei, Altman and Musk on the risks of AI — and why it makes regulation unstoppable.
In eighteen days, the names that gained the most from artificial intelligence publicly admitted that technology became dangerous. In the column Constitution, Company and Market published in the JOTA on 17 September, Ana Frazon goes through this turn — of the manifesto "We Must Act Now", signed by more than 400 economists and researchers, to the resignation of the researcher of Anthropic who estimates by more than 10% the risk of extinction of humanity, until the appeal of Darius Amodei for a coordinated deceleration, endorsed by Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
The columnist argues that the discussion on if The AI must be regulated is overcome: it remains to be defined como. Using Ezrachi and Stucke's argument in Competition Overdose, shows that competition without clear rules leads economic agents to create excessive risks and negative externalities — exactly what is observed today in the AI market. Self-regulation, in addition to the democratic deficit, runs counter to competitive risks. For Ana Frazão, domestic regulations such as PL 2338 and international cooperation are the only alternatives compatible with the urgency of the theme: "this is not a mere market problem, but a problem of the states and of humanity itself".
