The biggest challenge to getting an agreement over the European Union’s proposed AI Act has come from France, Germany and Italy, who favour letting makers of generativeAI models self-regulate instead of having hard rules.
Well, we saw what happened (allegedly) with OpenAI “self-regulating” itself.
They were spawned to stop the government from regulating video game content thanks to games like Mortal Kombat and Night Trap.
Yes, I know. My point is that as new needs for self-regulation have come up, they are playing coy. Because as industry representatives it’s more profitable to pretend they don’t realize there is a new risk, that justifies ratings and warnings for children and their parents. If they will not catch up until the threat of government regulation comes up, they are not doing their job properly.
Ironically they are more harsh at fictional depictions of gambling than at lootboxes with real money, so they always knew there were some risks of this kind.
I get you.
