    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 :)

    “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.

      Such a stupid fucking timeline.

        The bill that makes it illegal for precautions is snuck inside megabill with 100 other bad provisions so no debate occurs on it.

        FYI, the US empire is evil. Like media, AI must be used to protect the Empire’s evil.

          I simply don’t understand how “vote to fund thing A” gets conflated with “also pass ultra-evil rule B”. How hard is it to vote on each issue separately and keep shit like this isolated from unrelated legislation?

            Congress is hopelessly broken, gridlocked and unable to pass policy on its own merit. That’s how we end up with quadrillion page omnibus bills every year. It’s a failed institution, and it’s been this way since at least Reagan.

            The process itself must serve evil. As a process, single issue bills permit a clear stand on good/evil with debate on the issue to convince/justify vote. Multi issue bills permit a horse trade of my evil interests to be included for your evil interest to also be included.

            It can backfire though. Too big a deal can get some to leave the corruption consensus over 1 provision included. Everyone is given more power to grandstand against evil.

      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.

    What I can’t get around with is people expecting AI that was developed by not respecting IP rights to suddenly begin respecting their presumed IP rights (not that most are not just accepting them away through the associated EULAs) with what they generate using them.

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

      It’s funny but sad. Vague, selectively-enforcable laws are the point.

      We can’t just call something AI to prevent regulation.

      They can, though. With “laws” like this, the government can freely pick and choose who is punished and who is protected.

    A “decade-long” ban can be rescinded by any future Congress that has the votes.

    If you want to stay on the bleeding edge you’ve got to be a reversal of Europe, which means allowing innovation and competition. Hence why VT is nearly 70% US.
