VTCobaltblood Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 An exception would be a law reset when obviously harmful laws have been uploaded. Only the Captain, Chief Engineer, or Two Heads of Staff can authorize a law change. Since when does the Chief Engineer have more authority over the AI than the Research Director? Science handles robotics, so it should handle the AI as well. Actually, people already expect this to be the case - I was very surprised to see corporate regulations say otherwise. Seems like an error, I don't even know if this needs a policy suggestion or just a wiki edit.
Pratepresidenten Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 For those of you not wanting to look it up. i210 Unlawful Modification of AI/Cyborg Laws. To modify the laws of a cyborg or artificial intelligence, without need, proper access, or authority. But I agree, it should be updated on the regulation page.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 I dont understand what context the RD will be added?
VTCobaltblood Posted November 3, 2018 Author Posted November 3, 2018 I dont understand what context the RD will be added? The RD will have the authority to authorize AI law changes. They currently do it anyway - but for some bizarre reason, it isn't in the regulations.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 o ok! Sure that makes sense to me
UnknownMurder Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 I agree. Research Director and science department is better in computer science rather Chief Engineer.
Synnono Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 This is a wiki-only change as it's pretty much just listed in the notes of the reg. The Chief Engineer is still on there for now, as their job guide indicates that they are primarily responsible for the AI and Telecomms' well being, but I agree with the sentiments in this thread that the RD is qualified to authorize a law change (and is usually asked to by people anyway, even if they were not technically authorized previously.) They can build them, so they know what they're doing to some extent, presumably. The wiki's regs page has been updated, to include the RD as originally suggested by the OP. Depending on how clear it needs to be I may slip a line into the RD guide as well. This thread will be archived.
