On May 16, 2023, Sam Altman appeared in front of a signature of the judiciary of the Senate. The title of the hearing was “supervision of the AI”. The session was a Lovefest, both with Altman and with the senators celebrating what Altman called the “press print” by Ai – and recognizing that they needed strong laws to avoid his pitfalls. “We think that the regulatory intervention by governments will be essential to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models,” he said. Legislators were hung on every word of Altman while they revived on how intelligent laws could allow the AI to thrive, but only within the firm guidelines that both the legislators and the artificial intelligence manufacturers believed vital at that moment. Altman was talking to the industry, who has amply shared his attitude. The battle cry was “regular!”
Two years later, on May 8 this year, Altman had returned to another group of senators. The senators and Altman were still singing the same melody, but one pulled by a different playlist. This hearing was called “Winning the race to”. In DC, the word “supervision” was in favor of the favor and the speech of the AI is no exception. Intuition of supporting the organs external to the models to the Aimane to evaluate the risks, or for the Plafform to notify people when they interact witness, the Fals Ted Cruz committee supported a path in which the government not only amphened the innovation but removed barriers such as “superculation. Altman was on board with that. His message no longer” regulated by me “, but would have invested in me. “He said that the superculation – like the rules Adopted by the European Union Now a recent account Vetod in California It would be “disstrooous”. “We need space to innovate and move quickly,” he said. The security guardrails could be needed, he said, but they had to involve “a sensitive regulation that does not sweet”.
What happened? First of all, the moment in panic immediately after everyone was left out of the pouds of chatgpt e It became clear That congress would not have moved quickly on a. But the biggest development is that Donald Trump has resumed the White House and curbed the shaded tone and pro-regulation of the Biden administration. The Trump doctrine of the AI regulation seems suspiciously close to that of Trump Support Marc Andreessen, who has declared in his Optimistic manifesto techno That regulation of the AI was literally a form of murder because “any deceleration of Ai will cost a lifetime”. Vice -president JD Vance made these priorities explicit in an international meeting held in Paris this February. “I’m not here … to talk about the security of the AI, that was the title of the conference a couple of years ago,” he said. “We believe that excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry just as it is taking off and we will make every effort to encourage AI policies in favor of growth.” The administration subsequently revealed a Action plan ai “To improve the position of America as an artificial intelligence electricity power plant and prevent the requirements unnecessarily good from hindering the innovation of the private sector.”
Two enemies emerged in this movement. The first is the European Union that has adopted a Regulatory regime This requires transparency and responsibility to the main artificial intelligence companies. The White House despises this approach, as well as those that build artificial intelligence activities in the United States.
But the greatest Bogeyman is China. The perspective of the Popular Republic allows the United States in the “Race Ai” is so unthinkable that the regulation should be put aside or made with what is Altman and Cruz have described as a “light touch”. A little of this reasoning comes from a theory known as “Hard take -off”, Which posts that models ai can reach a point of no return in which the promotion of Lightning self-cars launches a dizzying supercaphability gyre, also known as Act. “If you get there first, a stunning person, I won’t be able to take you”, ” The CEO of Google Eric Schmidt saysWith the “you” who is a competitor (Schmidt had spoken of China’s status as the leader in Open Source.) Schmidt is one of the noisiest rumors that warn on this possible future. But the White House is probably less interest in the singularity than in the classic economic competition is.
The fear of China that approaches the AI is the key factor of the current US policy, security is damned. The party line even opposes the individual states that try to fill the emptiness of inaction with their laws. The version of the megabill that gives a tax break, as soon as you pass the house it includes a Mandatory moratorium We any legislation on state artificial intelligence For 10 years. It is like eternity in terms of progress of artificial intelligence. (Experts are saying that this provision will not survive a certain opposition to the Senate, but it should be noted that almost all the Republicans in the Chamber vote for this.)
