How Technology Might Get Out of Control: Are Some Technologies Beyond Regulatory Regimes?
Regulatory
frameworks are a common tool in governance to incent and coerce behaviors
supporting national or strategic stability. This includes domestic regulations
and international agreements. Though regulation is always a challenge, the
domain of fast evolving threats, like cyber, are proving much more difficult to
control. Many discussions are underway searching for approaches that can
provide national security in these domains. We use game theoretic learning models
to explore the question of strategic stability with respect to the
democratization of certain technologies (such as cyber). We suggest that such
many-player games could inherently be chaotic with no corresponding (Nash)
equilibria. In the absence of such equilibria, traditional approaches, as
measures to achieve levels of overall security, may not be suitable approaches
to support strategic stability in these domains. Altogether new paradigms may
be needed for these issues. At the very least, regulatory regimes that fail to
address the basic nature of the technology domains should not be pursued as a
default solution, regardless of success in other domains. In addition, the very
chaotic nature of these domains may hold the promise of novel approaches to regulation.
