Fei - Fei Li , the Stanford computer scientist andstartup foundersometimes know as “ the Godmother of AI , ” has outlined “ three fundamental principles for the time to come of AI policymaking ” onwards of next workweek ’s AI Action Summit in Paris .
First , Li said policy must be based on “ skill , not skill fable . ” In other words , policymakers should focus on the current realism of AI , not on hifalutin futuristic scenarios , “ whether Zion or apocalypse . ”
In particular , Li said that it ’s vital for policymakers to infer that chatbots and co - pilot programs “ are not flesh of intelligence with intentions , free will or consciousness , ” so they can avoid “ the distraction of far - fetched scenarios ” and focalise instead on “ full of life challenge . ”
Second , she reason that policy should “ be pragmatic , rather than ideological , ” by which she imply it should be written to “ minimise unintended effect while incentivising excogitation . ”
Lastly , Li said policy must empower “ the entire AI ecosystem — include unresolved - source communities and academia . ”
“ Open accession to AI model and computational tools is of the essence for progress , ” she said . “ limit it will make barriers and slow innovation , particularly for academic institutions and researchers who have few imagination than their private - sphere vis-a-vis . ”
