Question

From your own point of view should there be a standard in monitoring AI and political bots? and should there also be squads of CopBots to combat the bad political bots?

Can we trust the Internet with Tweeter, Facebook and the like to self monitor or whose job or responsibility should it be to enforce these standards and the policing of political bots and the digitally generated people used in campaigning, media coverage, or any other political process?

Answer 1

There is no doubt that there should be a standard in monitoring AI. You also have to understand that AI is not used in general. whenever it is used it has some target and very specific target. A target that has a high probability of getting influenced by objects. That's why standards are required as if you put something general as protocol AI and people designing will identify some other way to target people. the same applies to Political Bots.

The Internet can be used to self-monitor but it is important to choose what to trust there. The headlines on the internet are used to get your attention. once it caught your attention it might give you some other content that you weren't expecting and now you know this content. any information related to this content will get your attention. now any attacker can use this content to grab your attention. so you can understand how can even as small as the Headline of some blog can be used to manipulate you. That's why it is suggested to use those applications which don't share and use your data or information. Now, who should enforce these standards is a tough question. we need to make sure that authorities don't have their agenda.
