The Singularity Summit should include all points of
view, including advocates for regulation of intelligent
machines. It will weaken the Summit to exclude this
point of view.
In fairness to the organizers, I would note that it is a brief event
and all possible points of view cannot possibly be represented within
such a brief period of time.
As an aside, I certainly would have liked to be invited to speak
regarding the implication of AGI for the Singularity, but I understand
that they simply had a very small number of speaking slots: it's a
one-day conference.....
I agree that if they have a series of similar events, then in time one
of them should include someone advocating government regulation of
intelligent machines, as this is a meaningful viewpoint deserving to
be heard. I don't agree that this issue is sooooo high-priority that
leaving it out of this initial one-day event is a big problem...
