When you can't even define `AI` clearly, how do you expect to understand it and regulate it ?

The draft law says any logic or knowledge based systems - This could mean anything from an if-else switch to a neural network.

If waiting till black box AI creates a mess and cleaning it up later is immoral, than so is prematurely killing something before you even get to know what it is.

Regulation has to be clear, simple and easy to understand. This proposal is none of the above. Given the loopholes that Berlin govt. introduced in the law (which btw, got through as it was deemed unconstitutional), even after playing a long, big PR campaign, about combating housing issues, I have no doubts that any such law regulating "AI" will turn into a similar sham.

As I said, these systems should be met with skepticism. I would rather someone write a draft law that starts a conversation, rather than just let these systems run amok.
