Look in the wrong place, and you'll get the wrong answers. Five years ago, Elon Musk said "With Artificial Intelligence (AI) we are summoning the demon". A report by the Brookings Institution's AI and Emerging Tech Initiative notes that fearful warnings about new technology like this are nothing new. When C. Babbage created the first "computer" in the mid-19th century: "The idea that God-given human reason could be replaced by a machine was fearfully received by Victorian England in a manner similar to today's concern about machines being able to think like humans." However, while Musk called for (preventive) "[r]egulatory oversight… just to make sure that we don't do something foolish", the report warns that regulation of AI would be meaningful only if it "focused on the tangible effects of the technology."
