    “no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.”

      We didn’t just not do what all those movies/books warned us to, we made it illegal to take any precautions whatsoever.

      Why would they need money? Automating systems removes interpersonal trust and facilitates 1984-esque media and data control. Deregulation means they can use it as a handwavy excuse for a lot of major things, and also impact the information those systems give you.

        Please rub it in, until we go away or improve.

        It might change some folks unchecked insanity.

        At the very least we could stop letting senile, narcissistic, psychopath children decide everything.

        No one should be allowed to be this dumb, unchecked.

    To be clear, the bill prevents regulation. It’s not a regulatory ban, it is a ban on regulation.

      Someone needs to spin up an AI that continuously generates pictures that annoy Donald Trump and posts them to all social media, it should actively learn what makes him and his supporters feel the saddest and optimise for those attributes.

    This is going to kill the content creation industry. Imagine a torrent client that has a built in neural network training module. You are now allowed to access any IP protected content and inspect it on your home TV for dataset building. What the neural network does is irrelevant, it can have a couple of layers and be trained with a residual amount of the CPU load. Happy torrenting :)
