Concern about misuse of artificial intelligence has led political leaders to consider regulating the emerging technology in ways that could limit access to AI models' inner workings. But researchers at a group of leading universities, including Princeton, caution that such restrictions are likely to do more harm than good.
These include stifling innovation by restricting engineers' ability to improve and adapt the models; increasing secrecy of the models' operation; and concentrating power in the hands of a few individuals and corporations who control access to the technology.
For example, discussing how AI could be misused to generate text for email scams called spear-phishing, the researchers note that it is more effective to bolster defenses than restrict AI.
