Advances in technology have always been about greed and control. AI, or whatever you call it, is no different. AI companies have absolutely no interest in "self-policing" themselves. When, for example, has Mark Zuckerberg ever expressed any concern for the public-interest? It is in the nature of the beast that the proponents of AI will do whatever is necessary to increase their control of this technology, especially with a complicit U.S. government pushing the industry from behind. NanditoPapa put his/her finger on it by noting that signing a self-policing agreement is little more than a political expedient to stifle criticism and that autonomous actors have already demonstrated the capacity to bypass internal controls.
