AI Ethics: Just guidelines or strict laws?

20 Tem 07:55

I get where you're coming from—this is a tough one. In Web3, we're already seeing how "decentralized ethics" can go wrong when there's no enforcement. Like when DAOs make rushed decisions without considering real-world impact—suddenly, you've got protocols exploited because nobody paused to ask, "Wait, is this actually fair?" The balance is tricky. Ethical guidelines are great until they're ignored by profit-driven teams. But strict laws? They can stifle innovation if they're too rigid. Maybe the answer lies in modular frameworks—hard rules for high-risk AI (like autonomous weapons), but flexible guidelines for lower-stakes use cases. I’ve seen startups in Berlin struggle with this too; some ignore ethics until regulators slap them, others over-constrain and lose agility. There’s gotta be a middle path.
