[rpd] AS-SETs ... Actual Stupidity and Artificial Intelligence

[Taye Medoye]

Dear All,

I agree with Nonhlanhla that a technical specification does not
automatically require an institutional mandate. Her view that policy
creates permanence, interpretation risk, and precedent beyond the immediate
database change is noted, and supported as highlighted herein. In her
opinion, which l agree with, is that “It affects AFRINIC, not resource
holders” is therefore not a complete safeguard, because AFRINIC remains the
institution interpreting and enforcing the resulting rule. Until this
standard is reviewed, and or reversed, it stands.

On AI tools, the standard should be tool-neutral. Moderate actual flooding
or automated nuisance, but judge ordinary contributions by their substance.
A person who reviews and submits a message remains responsible for it.

On this point, l am inclined to agree with Paul on the need to use AI tools in
- order to improve the clarity of expression and to assist with
language in their
contribution. I also support the view that participants using AI tools are
encouraged to align such tools with brevity and technical clarity.

In closing, l support the position of Nonhlanhla that the registry should
implement what the system technically requires. It should not turn
implementation convenience into permanent policy authority.


Taye Medoye.
