President Biden’s recent executive order calls for increased federal regulation of AI and demands ‘equity’ be its focus.
Resident Biden signed an executive order last Monday purportedly attempting to strike a balance between innovation and regulation of artificial intelligence (AI). In actuality, the order further enables the left’s mad dash toward ideologically capturing the most important technological advancement of the 21st century while also calling for the implementation of regulations that “mitigat[e]” the “substantial risks” AI presents.
Using the Defense Production Act, the order increases federal oversight and regulatory scrutiny of the industry by creating new reporting requirements and interagency coordination in handling AI. It also calls for the development of new technical standards and tools for the evaluation of AI systems.
The order further calls for AI companies to report on training, security, and testing of dual-use AI models and large computing clusters, a review of regulations for AI safety in drug development, and the Federal Trade Commission to consider rulemaking to ensure fair competition in AI markets. And it encourages the Federal Communications Commission to issue rules on the use of AI in communications networks.
It also requires that AI developers provide safety test results and other critical information — such as “the physical and cybersecurity protections taken to assure the integrity of that training process against sophisticated threats” and various program test results — to the federal government.
It is expected that these new regulations will hamper technological progress. That said, it may be advisable for American developers to take a slower, more measured approach to AI.
“Stifling ‘innovation’ shouldn’t be the main concern,” Policy Director of American Principles Project Jon Schweppe told The Federalist. “We should want tech companies to be very cautious in how they approach AI development. But is empowering government bureaucrats — who have their own political agenda — really the best approach? Especially when censorship of ‘bad ideas’ is viewed by so many progressives as the highest good?”
Schweppe continued by stating that elected officials, not unaccountable bureaucrats, should ensure AI is safe for public use. He said, “The answer to runaway AI is Congress imposing significant liability that holds AI creators responsible for their creations. We don’t want or need a Bureau of Artificial Intelligence.”
Biden’s order further directs the Commerce Department to identify “science-backed standards and techniques” for detecting “synthetic content” — media either wholly created or manipulated by generative AI models. It calls for “preventing generative AI from producing child sexual abuse material or producing non-consensual intimate imagery of real individuals,” the latter more commonly referred to as “deepfakes.”
Most notable, however, is the administration’s explicit call for the integration of AI with corrosive leftist ideologies that have taken over every major institution and pit Americans against one another. In the section titled “Advancing Equity and Civil Rights,” the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division is directed to “prevent and address discrimination in the use of automated systems, including algorithmic discrimination” and “improve external stakeholder engagement to promote public awareness of potential discriminatory uses and...
Fact Check: Yes, NBC’s Kristen Welker Promoted Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax
CLAIM: Republican presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday night accused NBC News debate moderator Kristen Welker of previously promoting the conspiracy that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election.
VERDICT: True. Welker, while she was the White House correspondent for NBC News, routinely promoted reports from her network and other media outlets like the New York Times that falsely suggested Trump colluded with Russia.
“Kristen, I’m going to use this time because this is actually about you and the media and the corrupt media establishment,” Ramaswamy said. “[I will] ask you: the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years, was that real, or was that Hillary Clinton made-up disinformation? Answer the question, go.”
Welker, in response, ignored the question from Ramaswamy, and the debate moderators quickly moved on to another candidate.
Indeed, as Ramaswamy stated, Welker reported heavily throughout the years regarding the Trump-Russia conspiracy. In one segment from 2019, Welker asked Trump directly if he worked for Russia.
“I never worked for Russia,” Trump told Welker at the time, also telling her that it was a “disgrace” that she asked the question to begin with, considering the extremely limited evidence that...
