PM Economic Advisory Council calls for regulating AI via complex adaptive system approach

The Economic Advisory Council to the PM, in its working paper, has called for need to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) through a complex adaptive system (CAS) approach that will include establishing guardrails and partitions, mandating manual ‘overrides’ and ‘authorization chokepoints’, mandatory audits for transparency and accountability, laying out liability protocols and setting up of a specialist regulator for the sector.

“Rapid development of AI has raised substantial concerns about the risks associated with uncontrolled AI propagation with potential dangers, such as the prospect of “runaway AI” (under-controlled AI), where systems might recursively self-improve beyond human control and misalign with human welfare,” EAC-PM said in its working paper.
