Why do the tech oligarchs themselves all of a sudden call for stricter government regulations of the AI sector? That makes no sense. Unless they know that the (American) AI industry can´t survive without government intervention. Are the private sector investments drying up? Something about the interest rates? AI bubble bursting, that kind of thing?
Or is it an attempt to create a formalized tech cartel with Big Gov as a necessary partner or partner-in-crime...so *the technology can continue to be developed* even during the next depression?
It does seem to have, shall we say, interesting military applications. Does anyone really believe that China will stop developing it? Therefore, America "must" follow suit. But of course something has to be done to defuse potential popular anger. Hence, the current op.
That´s the most rational explanation. But since we live in interesting times, who the heck really knows!
