Google and its artificial intelligence lab DeepMind are on the right track for how to effectively and lightly regulate the deployment of new generative artificial intelligence (A.I.) tools like the ChatGPT and Bard large language models. "Artificial intelligence has the potential to unlock major benefits, from better understanding diseases to tackling climate change and driving prosperity through greater economic opportunity," Google notes rightly.
In order to unlock those benefits, Google argues for a decentralized "hub-and-spoke model" of national A.I. regulation. That model is a much superior approach compared to the ill-advised centralized, top-down licensing scheme suggested by executives at rival A.I. developers OpenAI and Microsoft.
