As an academic I have been thought the importance of thinking critically about everything. I have studied sociology - the concept of social contracts, social norms, defining deviance and the need to incorporate regulations and controls in order to maintain a civil society. Yet it seems that so much of society is about power and control. Who has power, who controls the economy, etc. Scarily, those in power are not always the most intelligent or suited for the role.
At Blackhat and DefCON 2023, there was a lot of conversation around the need to regulate AI. I was actually rather shocked that this was a topic of conversation at these conferences. The position being taken was that hackers need a seat at the table and be included in regulatory discussions. It made me wonder if power can be balanced if innovation is also represented?
Regulation by its very nature, places limitations and restrictions on its targets. But does regulation have to stiffle innovation? Can regulation and innovation co-exist?
