Pretty busy day but I've squeezed in a bit of time to summarise the the new US National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence that was released this afternoon by the White House.

While always dubious of stuff coming out of the Trump Administration, the document does look surprisingly sensible😅 They're definitely taking a page out of the discussions happening in Europe and UK in the last 2 months. Only a couple points I really dislike.

Here's a summary of key points (ordered by my preference of importance):

📌The Trump Administration is making "protecting children and adult victims from deepfake abuse" a key point. I was asked about these issues on the live BBC Your Voice panel discussion programme in mid-Feb.

📌Congress should create federal datasets and make them available for industry and academia in "AI-ready formats for use in training AI models and systems" [😬 Not sure about this! ]

📌Trump administration supports allowing AI models to be trained on copyrighted works, but they are happy for the Courts to work it out if you're not happy, so feel free to sue

📌Congress should consider working on "licensing frameworks or collective rights systems for rights holders to collectively negotiate compensation from AI providers, without incurring antitrust liability".

📌Nothing about preventing AI replacing your job, but American workers and youths should be given AI skills workforce training by Congress, and it should study trends in "task-level workforce realignment driven by AI"

📌Individual states are not allowed to penalise AI developers for unlawful conduct by a third party using their AI models [this raises a huge question about insurance🤔]

📌Small AI startups to be given grants and tax incentives to help boost AI deployment across the US

📌Congress should prevent the US government from compelling tech firms and AI providers to "ban, compel or alter content based on partisan or ideological agendas" and the public should be able to seek redress if they feel expression is censored on AI platforms

📌The US Congress is to insist on "robust" tools to help parents manage children's privacy settings on social media, as well as new features that reduce the risk of sexual exploitation and self-harm to minors

📌I absolutely adore this point:
"Congress should avoid setting ambiguous standards about permissible content, or open-ended liability, that could give rise to excessive litigation."

📌Congress should help existing law enforcement efforts to combat AI-enabled impersonation scams

📌Congress must ensure people don't pay increased electicity costs from new AI data centres being built, but should make federal permits easier to get for AI infrastructure construction

I FINISHED THE ESSAY!!! ✊

Good AI, Bad AI: How to Distinguish Between a Good Idea That Challenges Real Problems and a Bad Idea That Only Virtue Signals

We are currently watching the internet tear itself apart over the metaphysical dread of artificial intelligence, resulting in marginalized groups cannibalizing each other for social credit. By tracing the historical blueprints of respectability politics and legal copyright infringement, this essay provides a functional, actionable framework to escape the doomism. It is a necessary structural guide to separating the human utility of AI from the exploitative nature of the tech industry.
