Seriously, how can we make matrix multiplication and gradient descent safe?

By asking this question, I assume you are being sarcastic and indirectly suggesting that legislation or other means of enforcing AI safety is impossible because it would refer to matrix multiplication and gradient descent and therefore be unreasonably broad, ruling out many harmless computations. However, it's unlikely that legislation or other enforcement would operate at that level of description, in the same way that laws regarding murder do not reference patterns of motor-neuron activation. It is reasonable to prevent certain certain classes of multiplication and gradient descent without doing so generically by using a more abstract level of description.
