Abstract

AI technology has already gone through one “winter,” and alarmist thinking may cause yet another one. Calls for a moratorium on AI research increase the salience of the public request for comment on “AI accountability.” Prohibitive approaches are an overreaction, especially when leveraged on virtual (non-embodied) AI agents. While there are legitimate concerns regarding expansion of AI models like ChatGPT in society, a better approach would be to forge a partnership between academia and industry, and utilize infrastructure of campuses to authenticate users and oversee new AI research. The public could also be involved with public libraries authenticating users. This staged approach to embedding AI in society would facilitate addressing ethical concerns, and implementing virtual AI agents in society in a responsible and safe manner.
