Legal and administrative frameworks as foundations for AI alignment with human volition

Abstract This paper examines the need for regulatory frameworks in future AI development, questioning the common belief that AI, particularly Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), should be morally aligned with human welfare. It advocates for a legal-centric approach over a moral one, suggesting that in the event of AGI emergence, AI systems should be capable of self-regulation, informed by human law and jurisprudence. This aligns with Eliezer Yudkowsky's Coherent Extrapolated Volition (CEV), focusing on legal frameworks as historically grown manifestations of coherent human volition. This paper aims to contribute to the development of a comprehensive AI regulatory framework, integrating ethical and legal aspects and using historical legal records as a foundation for AI training, ensuring alignment with human values and societal norms.
