Artificial intelligence is a classic risk/reward technology. If developed safely and properly, it could be a great boon. If developed recklessly and improperly, it could pose a significant risk.

They were arranged into three main groups. The first consisted of definitional problems: what is AI anyway? The second consisted of ex ante problems: how could you safely guide the development of AI technology? And the third consisted of ex post problems: what happens once the technology is unleashed into the world? They are depicted in the diagram above.

Superintendent of Financial Services Benjamin Lawsky says they are the first fines under Timothy's Law, named for a teen who committed suicide after his parents were unable to obtain needed mental health treatment. The law took effect in 2007.
