Should AI be regulated? – Martin Dinov – Medium

I find it appropriate that my first post on this platform will be on a topic that is in many ways central to my life and ever-more so to the lives of us all-- namely, artificial intelligence, or AI. This is actually just going to be a repost of my response to a Quora question asked by someone, where a number of other people, including famed Professor Andrew Ng, have responded. This topic of AI regulation is complex and multi-faceted, involving many (all?) people from various fields. However, as someone who's used AI in his work extensively, and as a long-time technologist and programmer, I wonder at some of the responses this question has received in the wider media, in particular by the AI community and other technologists-the most common view (and I exaggerate and simplify here) is that technological progress is good and must continue as fast as possible. Most of the rest of the technological and scientific world has a variety of monitoring systems and regulatory systems in place.
