    Because AI is a disruptive technology we should require 40% of gross profits be put into a fund to address its negative externalities.

      Joke’s on you.

      They don’t actually make any money. Not unless their a monopoly that’s captured regulators anyway.

        Gross profits, that way they are even more fucked. Can’t make it profitable? I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

      Better yet: nationalize the AI companies. Make AI like water supply or fire service - a public utility. My government is VERY far from perfect, but even a country with any semblance of democracy has a better chance of making AI safe and useful to all than a greedy corporation. That way the training data and model parameters can be opened to public scrutiny.
