Both parties are dead‑set on refusing an AI moratorium, pointing to historic partisan moves. Republicans and Democrats alike argue a pause would stall innovation while the Senate and White House grapple with policy. What does this mean for the future of artificial intelligence? #AI #AIMoratorium #Republicans #Democrats

"Behind the scenes, AI policy experts, lawyers, and politcal operatives — regardless of whether they were pro-preemption or not — were working their connections in the White House, hoping that someone could persuade Trump that a moratorium — at least, one that was so swift and aggressive — would be political suicide. Two people familiar with the dynamics of the White House said that the person most likely to succeed at stopping Trump at signing the EO was Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff who’d successfully imposed a sense of discipline on Trump’s political operations, is deeply trusted by Trump, and is famously averse to internal drama.
“She’s smart,” said a Republican operative working on AI policy. “I think she understands how this could be bad for the president, politically.”
Recent polling indicates that a vast, bipartisan majority of Americans oppose the idea of a state AI law moratorium. And few demographics are more hostile to the idea than the Republican MAGA base, who have long distrusted Big Tech and view AI as a threat to job security, traditional family values, and the mental health of their children. Backing a moratorium would be disastrous for potential Republican presidential candidates aligned with the MAGA base, such as Vice President J.D. Vance."

Finally, a verifiable, numbers-based description of artificial general intelligence has arrived!Whether AGI has or hasn’t been “achieved” by AI developers has been a hotly debated topic due to its fuzzy and subjective definition. OpenAI has publicly described AGI as automated systems that ...
It hung up repeatedly... 😡~.
I joked that maybe this was a sign the #AImoratorium had begun? Then we moved to Q&A.
I tried again at the hotel, et voila! 🥁🥁🥁 Drumroll....

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is out of control, in the opinion of approximately 3,000 signatories of an open letter published by business leaders and scientists. The signatories call for a temporary halt to training especially high-performance AI systems. Prof. Urs Gasser, expert on the governance of digital technologies, examines the important questions from which the letter deflects attention, talks about why an "AI technical inspection agency" would make good sense and looks at how far the EU has come compared to the USA in terms of regulation.
