Abstract

This essay argues that the popular misrepresentation of the nature of AI has important consequences concerning how we view the need for regulations. Considering AI as something that exists in itself, rather than as a set of cognitive technologies whose characteristics—physical, cognitive, and systemic—are quite different from ours (and that, at times, differ widely among the technologies) leads to inefficient approaches to regulation. This paper aims at helping the practitioners of responsible AI to address the way in which the technical aspects of the tools they are developing and promoting directly have important social and political consequences.
