Why can’t AI run on its own without oversight?
AI has not at this point advanced uh to a stage where it can just be allowed to run amok by itself. You have to not only create the system and the workflow, you have to create the oversight and these systems can either help people or they can harm people.
So how do you make sense of it all and come up with a consistent product?
One of the things that AI exposes is uh when an organization of any sort doesn't have good consistent data, you're you can end up with just some extremely, extremely poor product. Protecting that data is extremely important. It's still at this point a little experimental
Michael Dugucci from Tectonic with me and Michael, my opening question to you is do we need to regulate the AI? Is that even a good thing? And if we regulate AI, who is responsible for doing so?
It's a it's a great question. Very timely for right now. Uh we've seen AI evolve at a breakneck pace this year. Um, you know, things that didn't even seem remotely possible uh even a few weeks ago are now happening. Um, and everyone is just scrambling to try and keep up. And that creates this uh severe tension with uh institutions, organizations that want to have um thoughtful uh moral policies, uh they want to have governance that uh, you know, allows it to be implemented uh in in a good way. But it's hard to do that when uh what you're utilizing uh and how it's being used is changing on a day to day basis so quickly. So I mean from my side I think the answer is yes, it needs to be regulated
And who is responsible for that or who should be responsible for it? Because right now the Edelman dress barometer came out. And we now know that Seventy percent of us don't trust anybody other than our close buddies and people that believe in what we believe in. So now am I going to think that the government that I don't trust, or seventy percent of American people don't trust. Now we want them to regulate the AI. Who who who could even regulate AI and what does it mean to regulate AI? Maybe we should start there.
Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. In the I from my perspective, you're looking at shared responsibility for something this large that impacts so many people. As a Alexis de Tocqueville type person from my policy background, I do believe strongly in self-regulation and that concept. And so the companies that own these properties that are selling, you know, whether it's uh open AI or Claude and those kinds of things. Like you need you need the folks that are building and selling these things to have some responsibility in the process to the extent that they are putting down some guardrails for their own tools and their own products. You mentioned the government. Obviously, you're right. We live in a time where people, in somewhat reasonably so, don't don't have a lot of faith and trust in the government to be able to equity equitably implement things like regulatory regimes for.
Big things, but I think there has to be a role in the same way that you have over the years when industries get too large um and they're too big to fail and they're impacting too much, you have to have some government presence.
Do we need to regulate AI and who should be responsible for it?
That's the only way to have some level of standardization and uniformity. Otherwise, in the United States, you would have, you know, fifty different states with fifty different sets of policies that it would be impossible to solve. It would be a disaster. It would be disastrous. Yeah. It'd be disastrous. So Yes. You want you need to have uh you need to have the government to have at least that top level role. They need to have uh the ability to, you know, if there are violations of the of the regulations, they need to be able to enforce those. And so I do think there is a place for the government. So if you have companies at least providing some level of self-regulation, you have the government providing their their guardrails, where is the the missing piece of that puzzle is the companies and the people themselves.
themselves. That they're the ones that are closest to the problems. They are the ones that are choosing which AI tools they're utilizing.
