My position has always been that (i) AI should be heavily regulated, (ii) is a National Security issue, and (iii) therefore, the government, and not the private sector, should be the head honcho in this. As such, similar to our other defense related industries, the Federal Government should be the only allowed buyer of AI technologies; we should not allow AI to be used by private companies in any way, shape or form. Doing this would both (i) insure that investments in AI continue, as a way to protect against China and Iranian deployments of AI, (ii) while at the same time, insuring that AI is not used by private companies to not only replace human beings in the workforce, which is the plan, but to also put their competitors out of business.
Anyone who thinks that there is some positive benefit to the development of fully functional AI that does not result in mass unemployment/dislocation, and even more concentration of wealth is living in a fantasy world. I would advise that those people read the Dune series of books (Butlerian Jihad), especially the prequels regarding the "enslavement" of man by machines. If you understand the book, it wasn't that machines actually enslaved people a la Battlestar Galactica, it was that the owners of the machines did. Based on what we are seeing with these tech companies now, can anyone say with a straight face that this is not happening already?
