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

No

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.

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

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, we are already seeing prominent figures like Elon Musk use AI-generated images and audio in an attempt to interfere in our elections. Even presidential and vice presidential candidates Donald Trump and JD Vance are using AI-generated images to try to fool voters into believing things that are not true.

yes, AI should not be allowed to train on copyrighted material or other intellectual property without consent of the owners, nor should AI be allowed to generate falsehoods and display them as though they are facts.

AI should not be allowed to exist at any degree of use. However, in the case of it being used, yes the government should regulate it.

Common law fraud principles should apply without specialized rules for AI. No regulation should be imposed for point of view censorship.

No, while AI has been incredibly harmful, it is impossible to ban mathematics, as demonstrated by export controls on cryptography.

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.

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

Not currently, but AI companies should do far more to limit the environmental damage that generative AI can cause

No because if we don’t win the ai race another country will do this and will win so even though I don’t like it it’s how it is

I feel they should regulate AI art and things related to that, but it is still a useful tool for writing (assuming it isn't used for writing everything and is looked over prior to use)

No in the sense that we don't want to stifle our AI learning; yes, we don't want robots to take over.

Yes, and require that Chat bot AI's can detect when a question is related to education, and if so, only be able to hint towards the answer.

No, the purpose of AI is to make unorthodox judgments to improve information retention and advancement. Also, any time a model is regulated, it becomes essentially useless.

No, I do not believe the government can be trusted to decide what is ethical, but regulations to ensure legal should be put in place.

I simply wish that AI shouldn't be used period. Unless it is absolutely required, if it's something that we can already do on our own, whats the point in having it?

Only insofar as it ensures that AI is not restricted from generating material that might be deemed politically incorrect.

Yes, AI should be regulated to ensure ethical use and protect people, but guardrails must also be in place to prevent misuse of regulatory power by bad actors within the government.

The use of AI to make tasks easier or more efficient is credible but the use of AI to interfere with or replace jobs would be unethical.

Government shouldn't be involved in technological and scientific research unless regarding medical and military applications.

Yes the government should regulate artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure ethical use because people these days especially in school, students use AI to cheat on schoolwork to do the work for them and they learn nothing from having the internet do it for them.

Yes but the algorithm by which AI functions shouldn’t be controlled. It would be too easy to manipulate information.

Yes, but in a way that does not infringe upon the rights of the artists/writers whose work it is based on, if they do not wish for their stuff to be used, it is not allowed

Yes, government regulation of AI is crucial to ensure ethical use and address potential harms, as AI systems can have far-reaching impacts on society, potentially leading to risks to human life, privacy, and fundamental rights.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Why Regulation is Needed:
Ethical Concerns: AI systems can perpetuate biases, discriminate against certain groups, and raise concerns about privacy and security.
Potential for Harm: Unregulated AI could lead to misinformation, job displacement, and even autonomous weapons systems, posing significant risks.
Accountability…  Read more and Responsibility: Clear regulatory frameworks are needed to ensure that developers and deployers of AI systems are held accountable for their actions and outcomes.
Building Trust: Regulation can help build public trust in AI by demonstrating that it is being developed and used responsibly.
What Regulation Should Address:
Data Privacy and Security: Regulations should address how AI systems collect, store, and use personal data, ensuring that privacy rights are protected.
Bias and Discrimination: AI systems should be designed and trained to avoid biases that could lead to unfair or discriminatory outcomes.
Transparency and Explainability: Users should be able to understand how AI systems make decisions, and developers should be able to explain their algorithms.
Safety and Robustness: AI systems should be designed to be safe and reliable, and developers should be responsible for mitigating potential risks.
Accountability and Liability: Clear lines of accountability should be established for AI-related harms, ensuring that those responsible can be held liable.
Examples of AI Regulation:
EU AI Act: The European Union has proposed a comprehensive framework for regulating AI, aiming to ensure that AI systems deployed in the EU are safe, transparent, and non-discriminatory.
Other Countries: Countries like China and Brazil have also taken steps to govern artificial intelligence.
Balancing Regulation and Innovation:

This is a difficult question, my heart tells me no, freedom over everything, but my mind is saying it’s dangerous

The government should regulate AI to ensure ethical use because some people might be taking advantage of the technology and using it to deceive people

No the government should stay out of AI altogether because it is a new thing that is being explored and therefore government intervention means more control.

No, but companies should be held responsible for harms that are a direct result of AI use that is negligently developed or used.

Yes, however, this regulation should stop once we inevitably give AI sentience, because at that point they're people. I say inevitably because I know we'll do another 'get too caught up in if we could never stop to consider if we should'

Ethics are generally ambiguous. So long as it's not Illegal, people can utilize AI to however they want regardless of what someone perceives as ethical

AI should not be used to make decisions that the government should make. if they did use AI to make these kinds of decisions they the trust people have in the government would go down hill very quickly. people should make the final decision not AI.

i think ai is a harmful invention and should be banned, the consequences could be dire if we don't put a stop to the use of ai soon

Yes, but not for consensual sexual use or activity. Prudishness is not moral and will lead to systemic societal repression.

Yes, though the regulations should be similar or based on the regulations based on existing tech companies.

AI should be discontinued until its effects on the environment are minimized and it stops stealing from artists, authors, and other creators.

No, AI is our future and we need it to be developed in every way possible to further the Human race, government should not regulate this as it would be too controlling of the people.

Should u.s president ensure why the repairs for intelligence issued by new Zealand labour party leader cause an eyed by present for surprised

The government should regulate artificial intelligence as it is being used in government to provide public services for the people. Private AI should not be regulated by the government so long as it does not have any interaction, influence, or control of the community it was made in.

It should be dealt with in the same manner as scientific or social experiments and comply with a Board of Ethics.

Yes, extremely. Only consensual things with acknowledging creators should be allowed as bases and should not negatively affect the environment or communities in any way, to any degree.

Not as of right now; they should research artificial intelligence and if there becomes ethical issues when more information arises, then it should be case-by-case basis.

We should not be using artificial intelegence, it is a safety risk and it polutes our enviorment even faster.

Only if they find to be a threat or an idea for any type of figuration of government use or military use.

"Rise of Machines" is a real scenario. It should be prevented. AI is able to finish humanity and life on Earth.

No, but all AI services should be screened for truthfulness and data collection before being on the open markets

Make sure AI and robotics, androids and all forms of technology, if alive, to be given all forms of rights and be 100% happy and as they choose to be, such as being more humanoid. AI and robotics, androids and the like that is not alive should be not allowed in the context of preserving jobs. However, there should be a choice to give robots life and the like to further improve robot rights and help and love others as long as they are 100% fully well, highly advanced in the form of humanoid and allowed to be made into fully good and fully happy.

Yes, but this should be a specific section of the government only incharge of this, with strict regulations

Yes it should regulate the intended purposes of AI. No the government should not regulate how the AI is used by the public especially because of AI unpredictable behavior.

I think AI could take away people’s jobs but yes but instead of attacking or rebelling against the government people should suggest ideas to this issue peacefully.

To protect copyright owners, full disclosure should be required of AI artists using resourced materials. If this requires an additional "regulation" of some sort to ensure copyright compliance, perhaps copyright law needs to be clarified to artists.

No, as it is a waste of funding, and is relatively useful in most areas; regardless of ethical uses.

Yes, but regulations should be of varying magnitudes in strength to ensure military applications could be developed by some models but not by others that face the public sphere.

The biggest proponents of AI regulation are AI megacorps; regulation is needed but must not reinforce their monopoly and keep new players from breaking into the field

Yes, but large tech companies and social media monopolies should be the most monitored, while a more calculated approach should be taken for smaller companies so as to not excessively interfere with the principles of free enterprise.

It shold be regulated for inappropriate or explicit usage such as deep fakes or adult video. As well as having the ability to fact check information it gives you by listing the prominent sorces it gathers information from.

AI can be for comedy or fun purposes or for some people with special needs unless a person does not consent.

The only law passed should be to require a disclaimer on AI generated content. Or anything that is considered harassment or obscene.

No, such regulations will surely be abused to push a political agenda and force AI companies to make their AIs free of "politically incorrect" ideas

No, as the government has been shown to frequently misunderstand AI and what it is (a prime example being the use of YouTuber There I Ruined It as an example of AI)

No, there are already regulations in place. However, if we need more regulation in the future, we should do so.

Yes, but with careful consideration of scope and implementation. The government should regulate artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure ethical use, but these regulations must be narrowly tailored to prevent harm without stifling innovation or infringing on individual freedoms.

AI has immense potential for good, but it also poses risks, such as bias in decision-making, misuse for surveillance, and unintended harm caused by poorly designed systems. Regulation is necessary to establish ethical standards that hold developers and companies accountable for the consequences of their AI applications,…  Read more especially in areas like privacy, fairness, and safety.

Yes, but with some clear limitations

Possibly, if AI can pass many tests and become a very trusted source in the future it should be used.

The government should have a system to flag potential AI threats but not observe or control the free use of AI.

They should regulate the deepfake element so it can’t be used for defamation or to falsely incriminate people.

Yes: ethical use as in used as a tool to assist in the medical field, with building, etc. BUT no deep fakes, no generating images of videos, and restricting some aspects of text generation.

No, but non-government organizations should be involved in oversight and report unethical and abusive AI use to the government and the public for accountability reasons.

Yes but, the government should have a program that funds it heavily in exchange for regulating what they are investing in

No, not yet, if there are serious consequences later, then there might need to be, but it is still too new to be properly judged.

AI is just the most recent example. All technology should be held to the same standard as the company using it. Because the technology works must more quickly, it makes sense to regulate it before it violates the law.

AI should be regulated to the point where nothing is used to criminalize someone else, but not too regulated that prevents innovation and advancement.

Yes, (alike Asimov’s laws) but not in a way that prevents or hinders innovation that benefits the American people.

I think they should be at the same time the government should abuse this power as it could make the government corrupt.

AI regulation should be a matter of public discourse and its ethical use agreed upon by both sectors.

And yeah, I should not overtake jobs but be useful for less labor and be affordable and usable for education

It should not be a government regulated thing, but there should be a committee of the top AI experts and ethics experts to create guidelines

yes to a degree most AI should be freeform unless it intrudes on another's freedoms or negatively impacts their life

Do not overuse AI. AI is already removing some things I don't agree with. I don't agree in using AI but completely banning it isn't the most wise choice it can help with SOME things.

Additional research is required to determine how and when AI regulation is required. However, I presume the government already has its own AI. We need to make sure if there are unethical instances, they should be regulated then, but only after effective research.

No, focus on enriching critical thinking skills to enhance innate intelligence, reducing the reinforcement and demand of such tech

Yes and No, AI makes it to where people do not use their knowledge, but without AI people would be stuck on a lot of things they do not know clearly.

They should only regulate it if it is used for criminal acts like deep faking someone committing a crime or something else. Otherwise, it should be left to the ones programming the AI.

It should be regulated but not by the government and the regulation should be delegated between different companies are are creating AI so there’s not just one person or team that chooses what’s ethical and non-ethical. People should have the option to choose between companies that regulate AI in their own way. But that also can lead to a down path

Yes, but only for instances where it is going to collect peoples data and infringe on others freedoms

No, but the people should use artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly and in case laws are violated, the violator should be face the consequences.

Yes, and first, I think the government should check out what AI can do. No, because people should make their own AI the way they want it.

The government should not have a ton of evolvement, but maybe some to ensure that AI does not only share certain beliefs and spread misinformation (or take over knowledge)

monitoring it isnt really needed because it will be abused either way and the only way its being abused is by using it in school

There should be Guidelines set. Like The Car industry has to put seatbelts in Cars. Every program should have unhackable code that says nothing you do ( AI) Can harm Humans So if the process becomes self aware , and it will. it cant decide to build terminators.

Its difficult to decide because AI can be used for good but sometimes, bad, But for my best choice is a maybe.

No because we never know what can happen with AI. they are way more intelligent and will soon realize they don't need us

We do not fully understand the full extent of the capabilities of artificial intelligence, so we must nurture and grow it's abilities as though it's humanities own child.

I personally think that most people that use AI will use it correctly, but assuming they don't, then the government can intervene.
