What regulations would you suggest would be the software equivalent of a fire code?
replyWhat kind of penalties would apply for not meeting these regulations?
Who would be responsible for enforcement? Do you propose this should apply internationally? Or just to software written in a specific region? Or is the location of where software is hosted (or the headquarters of the company operating the hardware) a better target for legislation?
You're right, there's absolutely no balance you could strike!
replyHmm, I wonder how the FDA approves software in a medical devices context. Or if the EU AI act is in any way a precedent.
Oh well, we'll never know.
Governments have killed 10-100 times more people than they have protected with regulations.
replyNot even natural disasters or disease can compete with governments when it comes to mass killings at enormous scales and boundless cruelty.
