Episode notes
Regulating Technology's Impact, Not Just the Tech Itself
- Regulation targets technology's use, design, and deployment, focusing on its societal impact, not just the tech itself.
- It addresses how technology influences power dynamics, as all technology use is an exercise of power.
Focusing on Harm Reduction in Regulation
- Regulation should focus on harm reduction within a socio-technical context, considering design, use, and impact.
- CRISPR's regulation, targeting ecosystem harm through design constraints, exemplifies this approach.
Regulating Bias in AI Systems
- Regulating AI bias involves choosing where to intervene: data sets, human review, or algorithm design.
- Requiring bias-free data is difficult, while human review or algorithmic exclusion offer alternatives.
