  1. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    Forecast

    “Many of us have also become worried about the possibility of regulatory capture, and whether shrewd executives at the major tech companies might induce governments to alight on regulation that ultimately does more harm than good, keeping out smaller players, and entrenching Big Tech’s own status, while doing little to address the underlying risks, such as around misinformation and cybercrime.”

    Our reading: Major tech company executives might get governments to adopt AI regulation that does more harm than good by keeping out smaller players and entrenching Big Tech, while doing little about risks like misinformation and cybercrime.

    Conditional forecast

    “If we can produce the right package of tools and expertise for auditing, prerelease examination, and so on, address questions of bias, reliability, misinformation and so forth, working together of course with existing agencies that have been aiming to craft related standards, adoption may be swift.”

    Our reading: If CATAI can produce the right package of tools and expertise for auditing, prerelease examination, and so on, and address questions of bias, reliability, misinformation and so forth, working with existing agencies that have been aiming to craft related standards, adoption may be swift.

    No horizon

    Only if: if CATAI can produce the right package of tools and expertise for auditing, prerelease examination, and so on
