Washington Deadlocks On AI Regulation

“Even as some in Silicon Valley clamor for new regulation targeting artificial intelligence, their urgent warnings have failed to inspire action in Washington, where there are many ideas on Capitol Hill — yet seemingly little consensus to act on them,” the New York Times reports.

“Over the past two years, Democrats and Republicans in Congress have issued a battery of measures that would slow down A.I. development in response to safety concerns, limit access to the technology to address national security risks and tend to the potential economic fallout from mass automation.”

“But lawmakers have largely failed to enact any of the proposals, having been stymied by persistent partisan divisions and, in some cases, fierce lobbying by the tech industry.”
