Outcry from big AI firms over California AI “kill switch” bill
(arstechnica.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
While the proposed bill's goals are great, I am not so sure about how it would be tested and enforced.
It's cool that on current LLMs, the LLM can generate a 'no' response like those clips where people ask if the LLM has access to their location -- but then promptly gives advices to a closest restaurant as soon as the topic of location isn't on the spotlight.
There's also the part about trying to contain 'AI' to follow once it has ingested a lot of training data. Even goog doesn't know how to curb it once they are done with initial training.
I am all up for the bill. It's a good precedent but a more defined and enforce-able one would be great as well.
I think it's a good step. Defining a measurable and enforce-able law is still difficult as the tech is still changing so fast. At least it forces the tech companies to consider it and plan for it.
