Governments across the world are still trying to figure out how artificial intelligence should be regulated. But according to a new study, getting those rules wrong could actually make AI systems less safe, not more. Researchers from Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University say regulations that place most of the responsibility on companies using AI, instead of the firms building the technology itself, may have unintended consequences. Their findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), suggest that a poorly designed regulatory framework could leave important safety gaps rather than close them.
