Ai explains how it should be regulated!

 

Regulating AI effectively requires a balanced approach—one that encourages innovation while ensuring safety, transparency, and accountability. The key challenge is that AI evolves rapidly, making rigid, slow-moving regulations ineffective. Instead, a dynamic, principles-based regulatory framework is needed. Here’s an optimal process for AI regulation:

1. Establish a Global AI Governance Body

AI is not confined by national borders, so regulation must be coordinated internationally. A body akin to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could oversee AI development, ensuring compliance with ethical and safety standards across nations while preventing harmful uses (e.g., autonomous weapons, mass surveillance).

2. Implement Risk-Based Regulation

Not all AI systems pose equal risks. A tiered regulatory system should classify AI based on potential harm:

  • Minimal-risk AI (e.g., recommendation algorithms) would require minimal oversight.
  • High-risk AI (e.g., autonomous weapons, AI in healthcare, or critical infrastructure) would undergo rigorous scrutiny, including audits, certification, and continuous monitoring.

3. Mandate Transparency and Explainability

AI systems should be auditable and explainable, especially in high-stakes applications like law enforcement, finance, and medicine. Developers must document how their AI systems work and ensure decision-making processes are interpretable.

4. Require AI Safety Testing & Ethics Reviews

Before deployment, AI models should pass standardized safety assessments, similar to clinical trials for new drugs. These tests would evaluate risks such as bias, security vulnerabilities, and alignment with human values.

5. Enforce Accountability & Liability Laws

When AI systems cause harm, there must be clear legal accountability. Developers, deployers, and organizations using AI should be held responsible based on their role in the AI’s design, training, and operation. This ensures ethical behavior and discourages reckless development.

6. Encourage Innovation While Preventing AI Monopolies

AI development should remain open and competitive. Governments should fund open-source AI research while preventing monopolization by a few corporations. This ensures AI benefits humanity rather than serving the interests of a small elite.

By implementing these measures, we can regulate AI without stifling its potential—guiding its development toward safety, fairness, and the greater good.

The Witchhunt

From my upcoming memoir: 'My son suffers from severe autism or possibly Angelman syndrome (which wasn't definitively excluded when he underwent genetic testing). As a concerned parent, I reached out to several specialists in the field of autism, desperate to know how best to support him. In 1994, when my son was two, I started an information service called Autistic Information Matters to seek answers, provide support, and share facts. After much difficulty with professionals—including a Professor Ben Sacks who cruelly suggested I send my two-year-old to an institution (I told him to get out)—I discovered Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). At the time, I believed it might be a miracle cure that could help my son begin speaking. However, after extensive research and insights from other parents, I came to realize that autism is an umbrella term, encompassing a variety of conditions rather than a single disorder. (I have written more about this elsewhere.) During this time, I wa...

Tips for Eating and Sleeping in Autism

(Assisted by Ai) Tips for Eating & Sleeping in Autism As both a therapist and a parent, I’ve learned that positive reinforcement, when used thoughtfully and without reliance on negative “aversives” (something I personally experienced with ABA therapy), can be incredibly effective. However, the most valuable advice I ever received about sleep actually came from a traditional child psychologist rather than ABA specialists. Picky eating, on the other hand, can be a major concern for caregivers of children with learning challenges—it certainly was for me. Over time, I found some practical strategies that worked, and I hope they’ll be helpful for you too. Encouraging New Foods: A Tailored Reward System Creating a reward system tailored to your child’s needs can help make trying new foods less stressful and more achievable. Step 1: Identify Motivators Take note of what your child loves most—this could be toys, screen time, sensory activities, stickers, or verbal praise. Use these motivat...

The Complexity of Autism

 The Complexity of Autism: A Spectrum Beyond Simplistic Narratives Autism is not a singular disease, nor should it be understood through a reductive lens.  Rather, autism is an umbrella term encompassing a diverse spectrum of human behaviors, developmental differences, genetic mutations and neurological patterns.  To attempt to reduce this complexity to a single cause or narrative is to do a profound disservice to our understanding of the human mind and its many variations. What we call autism is influenced by a staggering array of biological and environmental factors.  At the neurophysiological level, variations in white matter—those tracts of connective tissue in the brain responsible for communication between different regions—play a significant role as reported by experts decades ago (see Tony Monaco)  Intriguingly, white matter irregularities can sometimes be traced to maternal MTHFR gene mutations, which influence folate metabolism during pregnancy accordi...
