No. This post has jumped quite a few lines that aren't settled yet, and that line there is the biggest assumption. No, AI is not to "live among us". It is a tool. Nothing more. We need to stop anthropomorphizing these tools.
Nevertheless, I can acknowledge the need for governance with AI. I was thinking that policy around it can be summarized with the acronym "AAA", representing the 3 things AI cannot be granted: Autonomy, Ambition, and Access. Stay away from giving it those things and it remains a safe tool.
I agree that governance must avoid anthropomorphizing tools. At the same time, in policy discussions metaphors often serve to highlight social risks and expectations.
Your “AAA” framing (Autonomy, Ambition, Access) is an interesting lens — I see value in exploring how licensing frameworks like AIBL could act as safeguards around exactly those dimensions.
