The recently introduced Budget Reconciliation Bill includes a provision that prevents federal and state governments from regulating AI for ten years. This clause, driven by the influence of tech moguls in Washington, raises serious concerns about the implications of a regulation-free AI environment. Without oversight, issues like addictive AI technologies targeting teenagers and a surge in harmful deepfake content may proliferate, calling into question the safety and ethics of AI applications as state lawmakers express their fears over data privacy and minors' welfare.
AI regulation will be banned at federal and state levels for a decade, as part of an updated Budget Reconciliation Bill introduced by Congressman Brett Guthrie.
This sweeping provision reflects the growing influence of Silicon Valley on Washington, incorporating interests of tech moguls invested in AI.
Without regulation, there's a risk of more unchecked AI developments causing issues like unsafe technology for teens and nonconsensual deepfakes.
State lawmakers are concerned about the potential devastating impacts of banning AI regulation, especially regarding data privacy and protection of minors.
