The Challenges of Assessing AI Regulation
Stephen Gibson
1-2pm, 23 October
Vera Anstey Room, Old Building, LSE
The recent surge in Generative Artificial Intelligence has introduced both opportunities and risks to society. This talk discusses the challenges in assessing the impacts of regulation of AI. It identifies a range of different concerns that might give rise to AI regulation and sets out approaches that may inform the design of AI regulation as well as principles for a robust AI regulatory framework.
The paper focuses on the methodologies and challenges involved in evaluating the impacts of AI regulation particularly where there is both significant uncertainty around the costs and benefits of the proposed regulation and the potential for near-existential risk, meaning that AI regulatory proposals are not easily susceptible to standard cost benefit analysis approaches. It outlines and considers the use of a range of quantitative and qualitative approaches to the assessment of AI regulatory proposals including breakeven analysis, using real options and applying the precautionary principle.
The talk draws on this background paper.
