I am trying to understand how this rule might apply to other things we know.
For example what is google search going to answer for a given query? If you don’t apply the Page Rank algorithm exactly as implemented, with the same version you ran the search against, you will not get the same search page. Yet you demand we understand the algorithm so well you what… implement it on paper?
What about an ml model that recognizes handwritten digits. Does it think a poorly drawn 9 is an 8 or not? The answer is “it depends” and the models bias will be reflective of all of the images in the training set, seed RNG values, and other things. Such a model is illegal?
Near as I can tell you are calling for an outright ban on machine learning. Which definitely will accomplish your objective—no one will use it in nations that implement this law. It would last as long as the nation does—which might not be very long.
This i think is equivalent to banning nuclear weapons research in the USA in 1943, and succeeding. The USA and Europe would have been completely unprotected and helpless when the USSR developed their own nukes, using the 1943 data leaked by spies as a starting point.
It absolutely would have prevented the USA or Europe from having any way to fight back.
