Sponsor: Reactionary
Debate on this bill is now open.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Its back.

I think the first time I went after dystopian black mirror mad scientist stuff was in 2018 in the South. This was close to passing last session and there was no negative debate despite plenty of opportunity. But after the vote was called someone then not in the Senate started a non-public lobbying campaign to defeat it without any public reason for why. Thats not good governance. So its back and if people want to kill it again, they should publicly debate, because many of the private comments I saw being spread were gross mistruths that showed a lack of understanding of the bill and debate would have pointed that out.

To combat dystopian science fiction that is terrifyingly becoming science fact, this regulates human clones, human-animal hybrids, eugenics, cryogenics, cannibalism, adrenochrome, dangerous AI, gain of function virus research, and experiments on unknowing subjects. It also exempts stem cell research to ensure we dont sacrifice real science. I cant fathom why someone would oppose this.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I'm supportive of the efforts here.

TITLE IV: ENACTMENT

1. This act shall take effect March 15, 2023.

Amendment. I understand the arguments against human-level AI, but for one, let's be honest that others will end up making it anyway. I also don't see a reason to hamstring our researchers here, especially when increasingly powerful computers and even simple AI are helping us so much at the moment in multiple fields (I actually attended a seminar at the AMS conference today talking about how they're reducing unpredictability in their models with AI)

[Mr. Reactionary]

24 hours to object to the Weatherboy amendment.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Objecting the proposed amendment.

let's be honest that others will end up making it anyway.

is not a reason to suddenly allow it.

I also don't see a reason to hamstring our researchers here, especially when increasingly powerful computers and even simple AI are helping us so much at the moment in multiple fields (I actually attended a seminar at the AMS conference today talking about how they're reducing unpredictability in their models with AI)

I understand your intention here

8. Prohibited artificial intelligence means any real or theoretical program or software code that:

B. achieves self-awareness as found in humans;

C. is capable of animating or controlling a human body; or

D. is or purports to be the uploaded soul, life, consciousness, personality, or memories of a specific human.

But in particular these issues are worrying and I believe we need to curb or limit this research until we're fully able to comprehend the consequences of said A.I. while C and D are morally questionable. The dangers of said A.I. are much bigger than the possible advantages. A.I. is a broad concept but as described in 8B, 8C and 8D seem to be dangerous rather than helpful. 8A is indeed a bit too restrictive and i would support an amendment removing 8A.

But your entire amendment, i do not support, thus I object.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Hearing an objection from Laki, we shall now vote on the Weatherboy Amendment relating to killer robots. Vote is open 48 hours. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

Text of Amendment being considered is as follows:

8. Prohibited artificial intelligence means any real or theoretical program or software code that:

A. reaches or exceeds the level of human intellectual abilities and is able to apply its abilities to any type of task;

B. achieves self-awareness as found in humans;

C. is capable of animating or controlling a human body; or

D. is or purports to be the uploaded soul, life, consciousness, personality, or memories of a specific human.

I thought someone already introduced the stripped-down amendment but I guess not. I had another in mind but I want to get this through too. Originally this would just cut out 8.A but I think 8.A invariably leads to 8.B.

Like I said, I have another amendment in mind though I'm still figuring out how to word it. Hopefully this should be more palatable to the anti-AI crowd.

[Mr. Reactionary]

24 hours to object to the amendment

[West_Midlander]

I object
