123 panel refuse implication intervention undermine decent Find words which mean: • a group of people with special knowledge, skill, or experience who give advice or make decisions: • the act or fact of coming or occurring between two people, things, or times: Opinions Q8 According to Michael Sandel, why shouldn’t we leave the regulation of AI to business leaders? Jason Furman, a professor of the practice of economic policy at Harvard Kennedy School, agrees that government regulators need “a much better technical understanding of artificial intelligence to do that job well,” but says it would be possible. Existing bodies like the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, which oversees vehicle safety, for example, could handle potential AI issues in autonomous vehicles rather than a single watchdog agency, he explained. “I wouldn’t have a central AI group that has a division that does cars; I would have the car people have a division of people who are really good at AI,” said Furman. Though keeping AI regulation within industries does leave open the possibility of biased decision-making, Furman said industry-specific panels would be far more informed about the overall technology of which AI is simply one piece, making for more thorough oversight. Business leaders “can’t have it both ways,” refusing responsibility for AI’s harmful consequences while also fighting government oversight, Sandel maintains. “The problem is these big tech companies are neither self-regulating nor subject to adequate government regulation. I think there needs to be more of both,” he said, later adding, “We can’t assume that market forces by themselves will sort out the issues.” “Companies have to think seriously about the ethical consequences of what they’re doing and we, as democratic citizens, have to educate ourselves about tech and its social and ethical implications ― not only to decide what the regulations should be, but also to decide what role we want big tech and social media to play in our lives,” said Sandel. He believes doing so will require a major educational intervention. This suggests that we all need to be educated enough about tech and the ethical implications of new technologies so that when we are working for or running companies in the future, or when we are acting as democratic citizens, we will be able to ensure that technology serves human purposes rather than undermines a decent civic life. 5 10 15 20 25
