Quick break from the Europe trip discussion to resolve the AI issues

If it was easy to solve the AI issues, yet I have an idea and am curious as to what others think, or is this something already proposed or out there or do I just watch too much “Last Week Tonight”

Actually there are a few AI issues yet this one only may solve some.  The main problem is can people tell it is AI. There are even tests people take for fun or whatever. And with AI getting better this will only become harder. And this is all common knowledge.

So what if we required AI to be built only on one platform, one system, or one technology that cannot be copied into other software people use.

I will make a quick example and this is somewhat like having basic PDF and you cannot change anything on it. It is read only.

And this is not keeping anyone from creating on AI. Only making it harder to hide that it is AI. And I know this sounds simple and there will probably major technological hurdles to overcome, yet with the world that way it is, something needs to be done so people know they are viewing a fake reality. You can apply the truth in advertising principle to this idea.

So if AI is on something like basic PDF (and I know that is overly simplistic) where people can only view it and it cannot be copied onto anything else then that might help people realize what they are seeing. Now I say it cannot be copied on anything else, yet it can be incorporated into other platforms, but even then it would be tagged as AI with a technical marker or something.

I am tech adverse so I do not know all the terms I mean need to use to make my point well, yet I think there is a picture here. For example a person could create a story on AI and people could read the story, but if it was developed only on an AI platform then people would know it was an AI story. And there is nothing wrong with that. The key is it could not be copied onto a word document and a person tries to sell it as their own work to publishers or other media. It helps to prevent people from cheating people who still write stories or screenplays etc.

And if AI was on one platform then publishers or even professors could run a few pages through the AI system to see if it was developed there and avoid having to worry about authenticity or be able to grade a paper correctly. Of course if done correctly that one person would have to hand copy the AI story or paper onto another software, yet they still shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it.

And again I do not know if platform is the correct technical verbiage to use to identify one system for AI to be located. There could be a range of technical outlets used. I do not know, my goal though is to put out an idea to be discussed or played around with or updated with the correct verbiage to move us out of this AI fake world.

I do not have a problem with AI if used correctly. For example I said AI could be incorporated into other works. If I try to self publish a short story, I would want people to know it is my work, yet to publish I may need some dazzling artwork for the cover. I could write and publish the story, yet request an AI drawing for the cover. My work would show I did it, but acknowledge I used AI for the cover.

Or I could still use an artist and acknowledge the artist’s work. Either way the general public when browsing the internet would know for sure that I wrote the piece and the cover art is verifiable also as to where it came from.

This protects artists, media companies, publishers, and probably a whole host of other industries or related work while still allowing the development of AI to use as desired or necessary.

What scares me is this may take an act of Congress to get it done. As a conservative I do not want too much government intrusion in our lives, but sometimes it is government’s job to protect people. This may be somewhat of a scenario where the government is protecting people and business’ rights to their own work.

I could go on about how I feel the government should get involved since I want as minimum intrusion as possible so if people are interested in the concept when can discuss details later.

Finally this may also help the development of AI. There would be businesses built to house all the AI content and even allow current businesses to have their work acknowledged correctly. This might create greater investment in the hardware to build AI, expand it, have it’s work sold, and so much more. In some ways this would be like the FCC controlling the airwaves, but hopefully we could do a better job of creating these laws so creativity still thrives, businesses make money and more importantly the work of individuals is protected and they receive their proper due (and money).

And if I am not clear enough let me know. I would love to get this discussion into the main stream so we can find answers and solutions.
