CLondoner92 (New Account)<p>The <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> government is consulting on new laws for self-driving passenger services, set to launch from spring 2026. The Automated Passenger Services (APS) permitting scheme, open for feedback until 28 September 2025, will shape how taxi-, private-hire- and bus-like autonomous vehicles are regulated. The scheme focuses on safety, accessibility, and innovation, supporting the UK’s Plan for Change by creating 38,000 jobs and a £42bn industry. Trials without safety drivers will begin next year. The consultation invites views from the public, industry, and stakeholders on key issues such as accessibility, local council approvals, and permit rules. The Automated Vehicles Act, coming into full effect in 2027, will enforce strict safety standards, ensuring <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/autonomous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autonomous</span></a> services are as safe as skilled human drivers.<br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/next-steps-for-self-driving-vehicles-as-future-passengers-help-shape-self-driving-vehicles-law" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gov.uk/government/news/next-st</span><span class="invisible">eps-for-self-driving-vehicles-as-future-passengers-help-shape-self-driving-vehicles-law</span></a></p>

(And funny). I published a paper in 2014 on emerging security threats from <a href="https://c.im/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a>, especially <a href="https://c.im/tags/autonomous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autonomous</span></a> systems. I called the problem “the psychopathology of intelligent machines” and used your Hal example. (A fair number of people reacted in bizarre ways during my presentation (one even throwing a chair!) If you know enough about AI, it is not hard to see the mechanisms which would explain Hal’s maladaptive behavior. In the years since, I think every one of the new fault modes I predicted has actually occurred, either in lab tests or in the wild. You’re fair in saying today’s AIs cater to the dark side, but it is mostly from AI developers’ sloth, not malevolence.</p>
