A bipartisan group of four senators led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is recommending that Congress spend at least $32 billion over the next three years to develop artificial intelligence and place safeguards around it, writing in a new report released Wednesday that the U.S. needs to “harness the opportunities and address the risks” of the quickly developing technology.
The group of two Democrats and two Republicans said in an interview Tuesday that while they sometimes disagreed on the best paths forward, it was imperative to find consensus with the technology taking off and other countries like China investing heavily in its development. They settled on a raft of broad policy recommendations that were included in their 33-page report.
While any legislation related to AI will be difficult to pass, especially in an election year and in a divided Congress, the senators said that regulation and incentives for innovation are urgently needed.
“It’s complicated, it’s difficult, but we can’t afford to put our head in the sand,” said Schumer, D-N.Y., who convened the group last year after AI chatbot ChatGPT entered the marketplace and showed that it could in many ways mimic human behavior.
A bunch of old assholes who don’t even know how to update their fucking iPhones spending billions on AI while telling us we can’t afford healthcare, education, infrastructure, or cops that do their job instead of just abusing people.
This isnt the biggest reason Schumer is a piece of shit, but it’s up there.
Schumer’s not the one saying we can’t afford those things
Oh, so he’s another party leader with no fucking control over his party?
His job duties don’t include getting Dem senators to vote with the party platform?
2 years ago we had dem majorities, but couldn’t get shit done because Schumer is at best an ineffective leader, but most likely never tried because he wanted to fail.
An apt summary.
That’s how how you you can can tell tell that that it it wasn’t wasn’t written written by by AI.
