  1. Regulating A.I. is going to be difficult, if not impossible when it comes to open source A.I. The impact A.I. is going to have on society, good and bad is going to be massive over the coming decades and I'm not opposed to regulating it, to make it safe for everyone, but not at the cost of restricting it so much that it limits what it can do. Personally, I think with governments usually being slow with regulations, tougher regulations could come about once negative things start to happen with A.I. after all, governments tend to be reactive, not proactive on what can happen and it's a given that A.I. is going to be abused by some, and the moment that starts to have an impact on others in a big way, calls for tougher regulations will likely be demanded from the public, governments scare easy if the public pushes them. Now the question is, how do we regulate A.I. without crippling what it can do? I think safety to one's self and others would be fine, but beyond that, it's quite limited in how they can regulate A.I. without restricting its usefulness. I suspect we're going to get a lot of law changes and regulations that change a lot over the next decade or so, because governments and society at large are not quite sure what the best way forward is when it comes to regulating A.I. I do know one thing, if any big negative event happens in part because of A.I. it could cause a massive uproar from the public against A.I. governments will be more than happy to take advantage of that, hence why I don't think it's a good idea to have this wild west with A.I. as that will very likely backfire against the A.I. movement from the public and governments, so in the end, it's about finding the right balance, from safety, privacy, without restricting its usefulness.
