Artificial Intelligence and Legislation becomes highlighted at the end of the Apple's world wide developer conference (WWDC 26). In this event, apple says these features are limited in availability around the European Union and China to comply with their specific regulations.
Yes, AI is an extremely powerful tool but it will touch national security unless they are governed properly.
Types of Artificial Intelligence
For enormous amounts of models in Artificial Intelligence, they are mainly categorized in two terms: local LLMs and Cloud LLMs. The local LLMs are working without any specific internet and the cloud LLMs, as you already know and use it, based on the cloud. Cloud is other peoples' computers means they are hosted around the world. The world is not a unified authority, it is governed by the hard law in local basis but with the soft laws internationally. Example includes charters.
The important virtues of Artificial Intelligence
It seems very easy that the local LLMs can work offline and without any connection but the specific kind of interest is how they are trained. The models have to be trained in order to work properly and promptly without any mistakes. This process is the same under the hood of this planet. They must be trained with existing data for proper understanding and response. It is called reasoning. This makes between black and white.
The main important reason is how they are trained. For example, the moral value or virtue of the people in the west and the east are differ from each other. Religions, cultures and values craft the humanity of diversity. The main reason of artificial intelligence is to help the people without violation of the rights and virtues of the people who are using them. So, the coding AI cannot disrupt the process of creating the code that he is supposed to do.
According to the agentic AI, the user will ask for everything. Ranging from the personal questions to the questions of eternity, the AI must answer the questions. The user may range from toddlers to seniors. How the AI will respect the cultures and norms.
Let me explain about some example cultures. In a long term, some of the burial methods are fire cremation and burial on the soil. We cannot judge which method is the best or the reasonable one. All of the methods are rights according to their perspective. That why the God never says, I know the truth. Instead he says, everything is under his knowledge. In simple terms, the truth is not what we touch.
Artificial intelligence and abidance of the international law
When you say "Hello" or "Hi" to an AI model, the text is transferred from your computer to a server across several continents. The server reckoning, and reply back with some words to you means the text are coming back across the river, sea, and the ocean. It crossed a couple of different countries, cultures, and networks.
To be precise, when you are living inside the territory of the European Union, you must abide the law of the European Union. The user in China must abide the law of China, and the people under the ASEAN must abide the ASEAN regulations. The providers around the world must comply with the regulations of the user because the user is the consumer of their products. Our Agentic AI cannot says eating with the spoon is better than eating with the chopstick. Our AI cannot provide conflict of interest the legislation where the user resides.
Why do EU and China have strict regulations over AI
The AI is powerful. However, the user is the one who will provide the data and analyze the output. The profit must be on the user. The user will share simple information to the highly sensitive health care information, or even psychological consultation. You can reference How AI fortune telling is popular in South Korea.
Every country other than EU and China also have some regulations and legislation over AI to protect their people. There is a lot of breach and manipulation before the AI era and the nations have more interest on authority, authenticity and sovereignty over the use of Artificial Intelligence.
The user data must be protected from illegal collection, indirect collection, and sensory collection, such as scrolling down, clicking buttons, interest and storing unknown data on users machines. After the data is sent, the data can be reclaimed or removed from the providers to save the interest and privacy of the user.
The route to unification of AI and Regulations is still a long journey to go. During this period, there will be some regulation requirements for the use of AI will be high.
