I strongly believe that we must regulate AI to prevent potential risks and ensure its ethical use. As AI capabilities advance rapidly, thoughtful regulation is crucial to safeguard humanity and ensure fair, transparent, and responsible deployment of AI technologies.

I believe exempting small companies from most AI regulations could indeed fuel innovation. It lowers the barrier to entry, allowing nimble startups to experiment and iterate quickly without being bogged down by heavy compliance. However, we must ensure that there are safeguards in place to prevent misuse and manage risks effectively.

I believe that liability for AI-caused harm should indeed be shared between the developer and the deployer. As someone deeply involved in AI development, I understand the complexities involved in creating robust AI systems. While developers must ensure that AI systems are designed ethically and with safety in mind, deployers play a critical role in the real-world application of these technologies. Both parties have responsibilities, and a shared approach to liability encourages collaboration in minimizing potential harms.

AI safety is critical, but pausing training isn't always feasible. We must balance innovation with safety, ensuring protocols evolve continuously.

I believe it's essential to approach AI regulation thoughtfully to balance innovation and safety. While I have some concerns about the implementation details of the EU AI Act, I think it's crucial for policymakers, technologists, and the public to engage in ongoing discussions rather than rush to repeal it right now.

As we rapidly advance in AI development, I believe it is crucial to establish international regulations to ensure these technologies are used safely and ethically. Pausing AI advancement allows us to create global standards that can protect society from potential risks and ensure alignment with human values.
