Professor Hall and Professor Licato were interviewed by ABC News about AI Legislation
Last month, Distinguished University Professor Hall and Assistant Professor Licato
were interviewed online by ABC News about the need for legislation concerning Artificial
Intelligence.
Professor Licato told ABC that there are two common views on AI: 鈥淯nwarranted paranoia
on one side. But also the exact extreme opposite, where some people think the technology
is not going to affect my job at all. I don鈥檛 have to pay attention. I think both
of those reactions are probably incorrect in some way.鈥�
Professor Hall says there hasn鈥檛 been enough focus on detection methods and watermarks
to prevent fraud. 鈥淚 think that鈥檚 probably something we really need to do. It doesn鈥檛
seem so exciting. But for society, it鈥檚 really important,鈥� said Hall.
President Biden is expected to sign some sort of legislation into law, but what it
will address is uncertain. To read or watch the full interview, click here.
