One reason why I haven’t provided much evidence is that I think it’s substantially harder to give evidence of a “for all” claim (my side of the claim) than a “there exists” (what I ask Evan). I claim that it doesn’t happen that a framework on a niche area evolves so fast without accidents based on what I’ve seen, even in domains with substantial updates, like aviation and nuclear.
I could potentially see it happening with large accidents, but I personally don’t want to bet on that and I would want it to be transparent if that’s the assumption. I also don’t buy the “small coordinations allow larger coordinations” for domain-specific policy. Beyond what you said above, my sense is that policymakers satisfice and hence tend to not come back on a policy that sucks if that’s sufficiently good-looking to stakeholders to not have substantial incentives to change.
GDPR cookies banner sucks for everyone and haven’t been updated yet, 7 years after GDPR. Standards in the EU are not even updated more rapidly than 5y by default (I’m talking about standards, not regulation), and we’ll have to bargain to try to bring it down to reasonable timeframes AI-specific.
IAEA & safety in nuclear upgraded substantially after each accident, likewise for aviation but we’re talking about decades, not 5 years.
Thanks Eli for the comment.
