The main issue with current AI regulation attempts is that lawmakers often focus on hypothetical future AI risks instead of understanding the real challenges AI introduces. This was the argument made by Martin Casado, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, during his recent talk at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. Casado, who has significant experience in AI and infrastructure investments, criticized the poorly defined AI regulations and the futile attempt to introduce measures like the kill switch in California's SB 1047 bill, which was vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom. Casado believes that many AI regulation proposals are not backed by those with a deep understanding of AI technology, such as academics and industry experts.
He argues that a better approach would involve understanding AI's distinct marginal risks compared to existing technologies like Google or the internet and then crafting policies to address those risks effectively. He contends that drawing on existing regulation frameworks, developed over decades, would be more effective than creating entirely new rules. Casado cautions against targeting AI regulation as a fix for past regulatory failures with technologies like social media, urging instead that any issues should be addressed within the specific context of the technology that caused them.
