From Salon:
Pressure to regulate AI, fueled by apocalyptic prophecy and long-held animosity of tech giants like billionaire Elon Musk, is building within MAGA, and it might be enough to get something done in Congress.
A recent Pew Research survey, found that majorities in both parties are concerned that AI technology is under-regulated. Among Democrats, 64% of respondents said they were concerned that AI regulation would not go far enough, while among Republicans, 56% said the same. Among the general population of American adults, 58% said they were concerned that regulation would be insufficient, while just 21% said that they were worried it might go too far. The GOP’s budget bill, which has already passed the House, also includes a 10-year moratorium on state-level regulation of AI, though it seems that the Senate has softened this provision and instead wants to withhold funding for broadband projects if states choose to regulate AI.
