But what about the government?

From CP newsletter Create AI pro register to uphold ethics, says BCS • The Register[^] In UK there is a proposal to license/enforce corps when using AI. Then it uses the problem as an example with the UK government prosecuting post office managers for something that never happened. Except of course that had nothing to do with AI. And the proposed rules are for corporations. No idea how that is supposed to prevent the government from making false allegations. Reminds me of the silliness of a case in the US where people were prosecuted due to 'recovered memory' testimony from very young children against a number of people accusing them of satanic rituals. The testimony allowed defied logic. McMartin preschool trial - Wikipedia[^] That was far from the only case where recovered memories were allowed. Unfortunately in the US quite a few people still believe in that nonsense along with so called professionals that keep promoting it.

So at some point, along with the "harassment training" (which, ironically, is supposed to teach you how to identify and prevent harassment and not be a harasser yourself, rather than training you on how to excel at harassment as the course name would seem to suggest, but I digress) at some point corporations will have an "ethical AI training" class we'll all have to take. Except for management. :laugh:

It all boils down to where the spotlight is shining - if it gets too close to home, move the light to something else to divert the attention so we can go on doing the "right thing" irrespective of public view, AI now has the spotlight like any other tech taht were out there before. :((

My employer has us do 'business conduct' and other training every year. No one is exempt, including the president. It's not too arduous and can usually be completed in an hour or so. Completing the training is a condition for continued employment. I've never heard of anyone being fired for not completing it, but I wouldn't want to work with anyone who was so argumentative and confrontational that they wouldn't comply with a reasonable request. I could see the company creating a policy for using AI-generated material on the job. Intellectual property rights are a significant concern for us in places, and given the cloudy (pardon the pun) nature of much AI training data, it's a reasonable response. As far as governmental regulation goes, I'm sure that's going to be a goat:elephant: from the word go.
