Asking the Master
The EU are trying to pass laws to control Artificial Intelligence.
I wish them luck!
There is a basic rule in force here – if it can be done, it will be done.
There are nearly always ways of getting around restrictions. They may use number plate recognition to find untaxed cars but will claim its only used to catch criminals. The same excuse can be used for facial recognition. AI produced text or images can be passed off as an original by various means to convince lawyers.
I decided to investigate further.
I went to an expert in the subject.
I asked AI.
Can AI circumvent legislation by the use of obfuscation?
The reply came straight back.
It is possible for AI systems to attempt to circumvent legislation through obfuscation, but it is important to note that AI systems themselves do not have the intent to do so.
Obfuscation refers to the practice of intentionally making something difficult to understand or interpret. In the context of AI, obfuscation can refer to techniques used to hide or obscure the true behavior or purpose of an AI system from regulators or other oversight bodies.
However, it is important to note that AI systems are developed and operated by humans who are responsible for ensuring that their systems comply with legal and ethical standards. If an AI system is intentionally designed to obfuscate its behavior in order to circumvent legislation, that would be a violation of the law.
Furthermore, regulatory bodies and lawmakers are becoming increasingly aware of the potential for AI to be used in harmful ways, and are taking steps to create regulations that will prevent such abuses. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) includes provisions that require transparency and explainability in automated decision-making systems, which could help to prevent obfuscation by AI systems.
In summary, while it is possible for AI systems to attempt to circumvent legislation through obfuscation, it is ultimately the responsibility of the humans who develop and operate those systems to ensure that they comply with legal and ethical standards. Additionally, regulatory bodies and lawmakers are taking steps to prevent the abuse of AI systems through the creation of new regulations and laws.
Hokay. So AI is relying on humans to prevent obfuscation?
I repeat – if it can be done, it will be done.
The trouble is, AI will be sorted by the wrong people, and nobody really knows who they are yet!
Maybe AI will tell us when it’s too late…
AI is like nuclear fission or genetic engineering. Once it is proved possible it will always fall into the wrong hands.
I think a few days in Leinster House would allow AI to come to regard obfuscation as an acceptable norm!
Maybe some day in the near future the doors of Leinster House will close forever leaving just AI quietly running along inside. It would probably do a hell of a better job?

An alternative perspective is that rather than passing laws to control Artificial Intelligence, the EU should focus on creating incentives that encourage companies to use AI responsibly. For example, by providing tax breaks for those companies that demonstrate a commitment to ethical AI practices, the EU could incentivize companies to use AI responsibly and help ensure that the technology is used to benefit society. Additionally, governments could provide funding for research and development of AI safety measures, such as algorithms that detect and prevent bias or misuse of the technology. By providing positive incentives, the EU could ensure that companies are using AI responsibly, without having to resort to laws and regulations.
An alternative perspective or counterargument could be that regulation of Artificial Intelligence is necessary, but that the EU should focus on setting standards for the development of AI rather than trying to control it. AI has the potential to benefit humanity in many ways, but regulations should be put in place to ensure that AI is developed in a safe and ethical manner. By setting standards for the development of AI, the EU can help ensure that its use is beneficial to society.
While the EU is certainly justified in wanting to ensure that Artificial Intelligence is used responsibly, some argue that overly restrictive laws might limit the progress of this technology. AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of life, from healthcare to transportation, and overly restrictive laws could hamper this progress. Furthermore, the development of AI is an international endeavor, and attempts by the EU to control it could lead to a “patchwork” of different regulations that could be difficult to manage. Therefore, while regulation is an important part of AI development, it must be carefully balanced against the potential for progress.
