Some lawmakers think additional guardrails are needed for future uses. For now, the facility will use AI to comply with regulations.

For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility. But Neutron Enterprise’s very existence opens the door to further use of AI at Diablo Canyon or other facilities — a possibility that has some lawmakers and AI experts calling for more guardrails.

    Diablo Canyon

    The nuclear power plant run by AI slop is located in a region called “Diablo Canyon”.

    to people who say it’s just paperwork or whatever it doesn’t matter: this is how it begins. they’ll save a couple cents here and there and they’ll want to expand this.

        it’s not actually. there’s barely an intermediate step between what’s happening now and what I’m suggesting it will lead to.

        this is not “if we allow gay marriage people will start marrying goats”. it’s “if this company is allowed to cut corners here they’ll be cutting corners in other places”. that’s not a slope; it’s literally the next step.

        slippery slope fallacy doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to connect A to B.

          You may think it’s as plausible as you like. Obviously you do or you wouldn’t have said it. It’s still by definition absolutely a slippery slope logical fallacy. A little will always lead to more, therefore a little is a lot. This is textbook. It has nothing to do with companies, computers, or goats.
