Should the government regulate artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure ethical use?

No

No, but non-government organizations should be involved for oversight and report unethical and abusive use of AI both to the government and to the public for accountability reasons. Government obviously cannot be trusted to determine and adhere to what is considered ethical.

Yes, people should be protected from AI. People who use AI to create sexual videos with people without their consent should be criminally charged. AI shouldn't be used for choosing people for jobs either because the AI could be biased from given data or the AI could be tricked or fail to choose suitable people. I also think AI art should be regulated where the AI art must say it's AI-produced right on the image and that the human doesn't own it since it's stealing other people's art in the process.

The government does know what ethical means. But, there should be some sort of committee that changes over alot to help over look the ethics.

No, I don’t trust the government to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure ethical use

Yes but not to limit data but to make sure people can't find ways to make thing such as nuclear bombs and stuff

It should go after people who use it to defraud or hurt vulnerable people rather than the companies that make it possible, we don't jail writers if they inspire a murder in real life.

the government hardly regulates anything as it is, but AI is too dangerous as implemented by anyone.

It’s too early to tell. I would rather see them put more emphasis on social media regulation right now.

It wholly depends on the situation and use. I do think some kind of regulation should be in place, but the lack of precedence makes it hard to determine what kind.

No, it is impossible to control or ban mathematics; this has been demonstrated with cryptography. Significant regulation would simply create a monopoly for large existing corporations, such as OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google.

Yes but keep the regulations to a minimum and allow the field to prosper and develop without too much restriction.

Yes by enforcing a print left on dupes and soundbites so children do not fall in the traps of predators or so we think our president has made an address that was false

I don't think the government would do a good job at regulating ethics, given their record. I think it should be done by a qualified, vetted 3rd party organization with multiple experts and that their evaluations & reports should be made public. The public should also have the opportunity to vote on what matters to them most ethically also.

AI is relatively irrelevant, however we should use put the current copyright framework already in place to work.

No, the government over the last 2 decades has proven time and again that ethics only matter when within ideological scope of the majority party. This would mean that what was legal one year could be potentially illegal a few years later.

Somewhat. We need to be cautious to not overly stifle innovation, nor create a closed system where only the trillion dollar companies can compete.

while there should be laws regarding copyrighted materials being used to train datasets and to protect workers from being replaced with barely functional AI, the AI boom will fizzle out on its own like NFTs when it's revealed that it's generally not applicable to most fields.

No, the government is full of ancient white guys literally half a foot from the grave who have no idea how to regulate AI and don’t listen to experts.

yes but The only item of artificial intelligence that should be regulated is awarness of what is AI and what is not AI. Disclaimers and also licenses around information used to train AI should also be provided and accounted for.

Yes, any technology equipped with AI should be devoid of any property right protection. Sub-property. All violence against it allowed

No. AI is potentially problematic but I don’t trust the government with determining what ethical use is.

No, but there should be harsh punishments for those who use this technology to defame other people - e.g., deep-fake pornography, deep-fake political speeches, etc..

Yes, but only if they can keep up with the advancements and make policies fast enough to be both relevant and helpful.

I think limitations on AI are important but I do not trust the government with making certain decisions for the people.

I think science is doing something because they can without thinking about of they should. And they shouldn't.

The government shouldn’t be able to fully control AI but there are some situations where like deepfakes and stealing artworks, then that should be regulated.

Government should work with reaserchers to constantly evolve on this issue. You cannot take a hard stance any which way because the tech is so novel

There should be regulations in art, music and the replication of content or production of profits from plagiarized material.

AI should be a tool to support human creativity, not replace it. We must not over-rely on it or use it unethically. AI should never steal or replicate someone's likeness without consent and fair compensation. Let's ensure AI enhances our efforts without compromising individual rights.

If it’s for creativity, then it’s infringing on copyright. But other than just for personal use, I’d rather have it not regulated even though it is quite concerning.

AI should not be used. Government should not have control, but neither should private parties. It should be treated with extreme caution.

There should be limitations on corporations as they are not individuals and therefore do not receive the same freedoms as American citizens

The government isn’t usually able to move quickly but there should be some kind of regulatory body or organization

We don’t want the government nor people to use ai. This will secure other people from being victims of fake news or fake videos made of them.

The government can not be trusted to regulate artificial intelligence while they actively use it for corporate interests

I disagree with most things that stipulate "ethical use," as that is highly subjective. I do believe that regulation should be put into place, but specifics matter.

This question presupposes that ethical use is an agreed upon principle so I would say that’s a no from me dawg

Political campaigns should not be able to utilize AI to generate voices or propaganda artwork. AI should be regulated so as to not steal the talent of people who perform voice acting as their source of income.

No. The government should not have the final say of ethics if it inherently does not understand technology.

AI when used as a proper tool to better society is a great thing, but AI for the sake of being lazy and stealing art is disgusting at best and harmful at worst and should be treated as such.

Government regulation would be unfair. The government should contract knowledgeable parties to regulate the technology.

It's too new to know for certain what should be done. Have to let it continue to grow and see where the tide goes.

There needs to be more than the government monitoring. Also additional monitoring to keep everyone in check.

The government should have some part, or at least support, developing counter-AI technology (i.e. programs that would detect AI writing, AI imagery, etc.)

I think that as long as AI is not used for any vicious crimes, or not putting innocent people's lives in danger government shouldn't be required to regulate.

Yes, but the people of the U.S should be educated and aware of what could happen if AI is taken to far.

There is a difference between using AI scientifically and artistically. If the data that the model is trained on is from other artists, the output is a derivative of that art. Therefore, sanctions are important on AI artistically. However, the argument that AI is stealing work from artists is nebulous. The output is a mix of ALL the data, not just a singular artist. How would reparations to those artists be dealt with if we aren't aware of the scales between artists in the dataset.

The Government ought to treat it as any speech platform. Meaning ai usage illegally can and should be punished, but you can’t regulate it too much, same with speech.
