In today’s rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence, regulation has become a key topic of debate both inside and out of technological communities. But is regulation within AI necessary? If so, how much regulation is ideal, and who should do the regulating? While some believe it’s important to begin by looking at regulation within applications, others believe it’s more important to take into context the risk analysis of each scenario. One of the most difficult facets of the discussion around regulation of AI is that it’s hard to come to an actual definition of what AI actually is. In this video,  artificial intelligence experts Oren Etzioni, author of "Should AI Technology Be Regulated? Yes, and Here's How" (https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2018/12/232893-point-should-ai-technology-be-regulated/fulltext) and Adam Thierer, co-author of "Regulators Should Allow the Greatest Space for AI Innovation" (https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2018/12/232894-counterpoint-regulators-should-allow-the-greatest-space-for-ai-innovation/fulltext) present opposing views of AI regulation. 

Both of these articles are in the December 2018 of Communications of the ACM.
