The executive order comes after a series of non-binding agreements with AI companies.
The order has eight goals: to create new standards for AI safety and security, protect privacy, advance equity and civil rights, stand up for consumers, patients, and students, support workers, promote innovation and competition, advance US leadership in AI technologies, and ensure the responsible and effective government use of the technology.
AI that is used to monitor cameras and identify our faces to track everywhere everyone goes: Why would that concern you? Do you have something to hide, citizen?
AI that might be used to generate agitprop, competing with conventional advertising: HOLY SHIT we need a new international treaty right away!
More and more of these “safety” proposals just serve to kill open source AI, only allowing a few mega corps deem what we can do with them while remaining advertising friendly of course. Freedom dies in the name of “safety”, especially technology that is governed by people who have zero concept of how it works besides a scary ambiguous buzzword.
Plenty of unemployed AI ethics folks around to ask.
They’re unemployed for a reason. They’re a cult and not actually doing anything worthwhile.
Being pro privacy is now being part of a cult? Projecting much?
AI ethics people aren’t about privacy.
They’re running around pretending there is some imminent technological singularity that’s going to wipe out humanity and we have to stop it before it happens.
I have no issue with privacy, but AI has very little to do with privacy beyond “don’t let the government track you”.

lol
AI doesn’t collect your data. Companies and governments do.
Good grief dude…
What’s the point if they’re non-binding? AI should be privacy friendly and open, otherwise we end up with some serious problems down the line.
The President has limited authority and cannot make laws unilaterally. For sensible AI regulations and laws we will certainly need Congress to do its job, and clearly they’re pretty damn bad at that.
