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

    "automated decision systems "

    “IF X THEN Y” satisfies this description.

    Soooo basically just take the handbrake off practically every chunk of software ever written then?

    Bundling issues together like this should not be allowed. It’s done by everyone, and usually done to hold the actual good parts hostage. Oh you want to prevent asbestos from being used because it’s killing people? Well the only way you get that is by also allowing employers to hire 4 year olds.

      tbf, I don’t know how feasible it is to remove asbestos without employing 4 year olds.

    “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.”

    Someones taking money for this.

        Fascists only use “rights” for themselves, and then they will rub it into your face that they can do something you can’t…

      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?

      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.

      No Republican has ever given two shits about state rights, personal rights or even human rights in general. They never stop screeching about it but they don’t give a shit.

      They only care about their own pockets, the end.

      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.

    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.
