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

I think they should monitor what is being done, have full access as if they are a partner but no influence on what is being done or develoed

The current government can hardly be accused of being ethical, but AI should definitely be strictly regulated.

Yes - providing it is overseen by a collective group and not one single person or government department

Yes, with a focus on making sure the data used for programming AI is inclusive of women, BAME, LGBTQ+ and other minority groups

Yes, but the rate that AI is improving is far outpacing any governmental regulations that would come into play. Very difficult issue.

AI is probably the greatest threat to humans so yes it should be very carefully regulated. Let's use it to it's full advantage but in the right hands, for good not bad!

yes but dont make ai too strong too fast, we already have enough to worry about, we need to figure out how to live by ourselves before we bring in potentially harmful robots

AI needs to stop being used as a replacement for jobs and services.

It also needs to be criminalised if used in educational settings by students. Staff may use AI with some sort of training.

AI is very useful, and we use it everyday whether we know it or not. However it shouldn’t be used as a replacement for things.

checking up is fine, but if it is clearly being used unethically then they should be able to shut it down

I disagree with too much government intervention. But regulation and holding companies and corporations and individuals to account and ensuring ethical practices is very important

More of a nato arrangement should be involved in monitoring AI and its use rather than central government

AI in it's current state, for it's current uses, should be banned or at least not supported. It is simply a fad.

The here needs to be a clear education and und standing of AI to prevent risks of defence and our country systems we do not know what these bots are capable of and how much they retain.

As long as it is based on ethics not political maneuvers or monetary gain as most things end up being in this broken futile "democracy"

Only when used from a point of authority, it should never be used in important decision making and only as a creative tool

Not just ethical use but also the choice of use of personal data, which should be opt in by the person

AI has so much potential, but can be used for harm so it depends on what the government intend to regulate

No, there's no way to regulate it properly. It wouldn't get enforced and would be a huge pointless drain on resources.

So long as it doesn't prohibit freedom of speech or technological enhancements it should be regulated to ensure it is not being used to put pubic at risk

Yes, we need regulation, but at Least the Tories and Labour are likely to be more invested in the ethics of corporate profit than people

Government shouldn’t be the ones regulating it, needs to be a separated highlight skilled board that control this

It is a hard question, We need a separate department of highly skilled people to create a AI governance program

The government shouldn’t be fully trusted with regulation, there should be multiple boards involved in the regulation

I do not trust the government's competence and understanding of the AI ecosystem to enact sensible and proportionate regulatory legislation.

We need an international organisation similar to the IAEA but for AI. I don’t trust the government on its own to regulate AI.

Yes, but only if they hire knowledgeable people to regulate it. Politicians are likely to have very little understanding of the true risks.

Government should regulate AI, but not directly. Instead, a court of representatives from art, science, and tech should propose and agree on legislations. This approach ensures balanced, inclusive, and well-considered AI regulations.

No, I don't believe the government has the necessary knowledge to be able to determine how it's used

Yes, but only if thw legislators take into account the necessary information from experts of the industry

Ethical boundaries should be set, and regulation to ensure boundaries are maintained. But people should not be constrained from creativity in using AI

Not the government - an independent body of people who know what they’re doing. The government is made up of MP’s who are absolutely not experts in anything at all.

It should be regulated, but don't think the government are capable of it. Should be an independent regulator.

I enjoy jailbreaking ChatGPT, so the answer is no.

There should be an elected body to deal with this, not the government.

This is not a national issue, it's an international pandemic that will contain the use of malevolent state actors in future warfare. Pandora's box is already open.

There should be an independent international committee in charge of regulating AI worldwide, without any corporate or political affiliation.

Yes but with strict limitations and law citing how it can be regulated

They should heavily regulate AI or completely ban it.

yes, but be pragmatic and reasonable with the regulations. don't be heavy handed

Companies should be personally responsible for the ethical design of AI

No but an independent body should be set up to regulate AI

Depends on which AI > tools used to educate, like writing tools there is no need to regulate whatsoever. When it is about AI to change peoples faces and to reconstruct voices yes please do regulate.

Yes, as long as they employ actual professionals who have actual expertise in the subject.

A separate independent agency shoudl be set up to regulate AI use

Both regulation and room for innovation need to be done in balance with each other.

"Ethical" and "AI" are both just vast areas that this isn's a yes/no question

Yes, and require that creators of creative work are compensated for their use in models

The government cannot be relied upon to be ethical

Either way if government owned or privately owned, until AI can produce its own creative thought, it can be programmed to any agenda.
