will degrade and dilute the value of humans and hence, regulation is
required to ensure that humans can continue to play a part in this
world and not be overthrown by technological developments.
Additionally, in view of the over dependency on AI in our modern
age, it is a testament to the fact that the development of AI should
be regulated. AI can come in different forms such as Siri, a built in
intelligent assistant that enables Apple device users to speak
natural language voice commands in order to operate the mobile
device and its apps, or even daily usage of the Internet by using
search engines such as Google. AI has made lives easier by
increasing efficiency and these helped speed up processes and
hence reduce time wastage. For example, it is much easier to
Google search about the symptoms of HIV rather than make a trip
down to the library and dig up a book on diseases and religiously flip
to the page that says Symptoms of HIV/AIDS. As much as AI
seems powerful and mighty, its negative side effect is that it begins
to under develop the human brain to think. In a study conducted in
2007, Timothy Hoff interviewed more than 75 primary care
physicians who had adopted computerized systems. The doctors felt
that the software was impoverishing their understanding of patients,
diminishing their ability to make informed decisions around
diagnosis and treatment. Hence the valuation of humans is
depleting which explicitly shows the need to regulate AI so as to
curb over-reliance. Governments can work with non-profit
organisations such as the Association of the Advancement of
Artificial Intelligence to promote responsible use with the
advancement of AI.
AI should be regulated because of the imperfect stage it is, as
accountability is not yet established. This means to determine who
is to take the blame if a mishap or unfortunate event happens when
AI is in control. To blame AI or the creators of AI still have yet to be
decided. This boils down to machine ethics where it is unable to
make a decision responsibly without any bias. This is commonly
known as the trolley problem where a trolley is on a railway and in
front of the railway on the tracks lie five people who are tied down
and unable to move. A person stands next to a lever and if he pulls
the lever, the trolley switches tracks to another track that has one
man tied down to it and if so, this man will be killed. Another
example about lethal Automated Weapon System (AWS) where upon
activation, it is able to single out its targets without human
intervention. AI has not been able to make key decisions in a
situation of a trade off, and even if AI is able to make judgment, the
AI is in no position to determine the value of human beings. Hence,
regulation is extremely important because of the accountability and
responsibility it needs to have before decisions can be made. Since
there is grey area between blaming AI or the inventor or the
government on the decisions AI would make, stringent regulatory
