Nothing to fear. Elon and Peter Thiel are looking out for us!
Oh gosh
I'd strongly challenge your assertion that politicians don't understand how it works and that's why nothing is happening. I work in this industry. Executive branch agencies have some top-tier talent doing AI work, and there are several members and senators who have been deep in AI policy for the past couple years. Mike Rounds in particular is either personally very well versed, or has staffers who are well versed. I track the bills and I'd say there's ~5-20 bills *per week* proposed. And honestly, most are pretty reasonable. The overwhelming majority of what I'd call sloppy or premised on a lack of knowledge come from states.
Why is nothing happening? Because the legislative branch has spent the past 30 years making it basically impossible to pass more than a handful of substantive omnibus laws each year. Until this year, they could just let agencies use delegated authority to fill in gaps and then blame the president for anything that goes wrong, but now Loper Bright means that agencies have far less authority, but also congress isn't going to magically become much more productive.
I'd recommend setting an alert on congress.gov for AI to see what the hill is doing, and federalregister.gov to see what agencies are doing. States are also worth following but harder to do through just one email subscription.
I appreciate the throughness of this response.
I totally agree. I think that's always been the fear with the "disruptive" ethos of the tech industry.. they are always building stuff at a rate that our regulatory powers cannot keep up with. I think that there should be more hoops to jump through to even build some of these technologies personally, we need to create time to vet some of these emerging AI infrastructures
Good point
On thing I'm concerned about, as are most creative people, are the copyright and plagiarism implications. And I suspect it's just too late to do anything about that. Anything that's written and exists on the web has probably been scraped, and I'm not sure there's any way to have it excluded from AI training and its inclusion in what amounts to plagiarism engines. When people signed contracts to write for various online publishers they did not sign away the rights for their work to be used for AI training, but that's what has happened. I'd be curious to know if anything will be done to address that, but, as I indicated, I suspect it's just too late.
Creative people need to start looking over their shoulders
