As AI’s capabilities expand, so too do concerns about its ethical implications. At the forefront of this debate are AI ethicists, a growing group of experts who advocate for responsible AI development and deployment.
AI ethicists raise a range of concerns, including the potential for AI systems to perpetuate bias and discrimination, the lack of transparency and accountability in AI decision-making, and the risks of AI misuse for surveillance, manipulation, and autonomous warfare. In response to these concerns, many AI ethicists are calling for heavy regulation of AI technologies.
AI Ethicists Sound the Alarm: What’s Driving Their Call for Heavy Regulation?

Any outcome from an honest initiative talking the correct steps will look like regulatory capture to some.
