All robots should obey Asimov's three laws of robotics, all AI machines included, the manufacturer would need to prove that for a product to be approved, but enforcement shouldn't necessarily be federal, it could be at any level, depending on the application.

Yes, and drastically decrease funding for AI until more ethical and environmentally friendly solutions have been found.

I don't trust the government to not regulate AI for things like corruption or fraud, but I do support AI regulation for things like protection against sexual violence

Support disclosure for high-impact algorithms (e.g., those affecting elections, hiring, healthcare, or financial services).

Push for independent audits rather than full government access—third-party groups could assess fairness and safety without exposing trade secrets.

Encourage transparency reports where companies explain how their algorithms work in general terms without giving away proprietary code.

Ensure user choice & control so people can opt out of certain algorithm-driven decisions or customize what they see.

I think audit should done by different company's to keep an eye on AI but no one entities should contôle this.

 @B4343FCfrom Newfoundland  answered…6 days6D

They should make it illegal to use artificial intelligence for things that would negatively impact the common good but using it in school or at work to speed up progress could be considered unethical, but I believe it wouldn't impact the greater good and is okay.

 @B3ZF547from British Columbia  answered…1wk1W

Yes, but only in the case of using people's identities/face when creating rumours, false information or for sexual purposes.

 @B3MY9V3from Ontario  answered…3wks3W

if its a personal project using ai I say don't limit it, but if your using ai to basically take control then yes, do limit the usage of ai.

Ukraine Unveils Secret Arsenal to Force Russia's Hand

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy unveiled his much anticipated "Victory Plan" at Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday, urging his war-weary country to stay united at a precarious time ahead of its key U.S. ally's Nov. 5 presidential election.As Russian troops advance in the east and a bleak winter of power shortages looms, he told lawmakers his plan contained five main points that relied on Kyiv's allies, including an unconditional invite to join NATO and specific weapons support."Together with our partners, we must change the circumstances so that the war ends. Regardless of what Putin wants. We must all change the circumstances so that Russia is forced to peace," he told lawmakers and top officials.His third point emphasised the need for Ukraine to acquire a non-nuclear deterrence capacity that he said would be enough to destroy Russian military power. He did not elaborate, but said there was an additional secret addendum that he could not disclose.The plan, he said, also envisaged a Western role defending Ukraine's natural mineral resources from Russian attacks as well as post-war reconstruction pledges.The speech was attended by his top military, intelligence and political brass as well as lawmakers, some of whom occasionally stood up to applaud.Ukraine faces both difficulties and uncertainty ahead of the U.S. election that could return Donald Trump to the White House.The Republican former president has pledged to rapidly end the war before entering office if he wins, an idea that Kyiv's supporters fear would involve big concessions in the name of a quick deal.Zelenskiy met U.S. President Joe Biden, his key ally, in Washington at the end of the September to present the plan. In a subsequent whirlwind tour of Europe, he met the leaders of Britain, France, Italy and Germany to discuss it.Zelenskiy said he would travel to summit of European Union leaders in Brussels on Thursday to present his plan.
