The Association of German Scientists (VDW) views the Asilomar Principles as a valuable basis for discussion on ethical and regulatory issues in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). These principles offer a starting point to address the potential opportunities and dangers of AI. However, the VDW emphasizes that the Asilomar Principles alone do not provide a sufficient normative framework, particularly because they do not adequately limit the possibility of uncontrollable progress in AI technology. The organization advocates for a stronger consideration of the precautionary principle, the necessity to evaluate the limits of technology development, and calls for comprehensive investigations into the impacts of AI on society, culture, and human rights. A broad, democratically legitimized discourse and international cooperation are seen as essential for the development of safe AI systems. Furthermore, the VDW recommends initiating scientific research on impact assessment, ethics, and legal frameworks to inform political decision-makers at an early stage. The VDW also deems it necessary to implement bans and moratoria on certain AI applications, such as autonomous weapons, as well as to maintain privacy and informational self-determination.
