Arms control treaties work. They are perfect example of how #AI could be regulated:
"Treat compute, the main ingredient in AI training, like fissile material. Track it and restrict access to quantities large enough to improve AIs beyond known-safe levels."

I think it's much easier and quicker than that: simply start holding C*Os personally accountable for the harm their companies cause to other individuals, organizations, or societies. We already have criminal law, and the concepts of gross negligence. We just need to apply them like we have done when it was about "subversive" individual hackers. Why should the same laws not apply here?
Don't blame it on "AI". A statistical model doesn't want anything itself and is not a legal person. It cannot be accountable. Humans can and should be.
@rene_mobile I totally agree, that sounds like a good idea. Do you think it would actually happen though? I could see it happening in some countries, but it seems quite unlikely to happen in the US or China. Honestly, I could see China holding executives accountable before the US does. Tech billionaires own the Federal Government and also key state governments.

Agreed. In the US, money very clearly buys the law. But if other countries start holding US company CEO criminally liable, then even if the US doesn't prosecute, just limiting their vacation options might already do something 😉
