Two United States senators unveiled a bipartisan blueprint for artificial intelligence (AI) legislation on Friday, Sept. 8, as Congress intensifies its endeavors to regulate the emerging technology.
The framework put forward by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Josh Hawley advocates for mandatory licensing for AI firms and makes it clear that technology liability protections will not shield these companies from legal actions.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Blumenthal expressed that this bipartisan framework represents a significant step forward — a robust and comprehensive legislative plan for concrete and enforceable AI safeguards. It is expected to be a guide in managing the potential benefits and risks of AI technology.
Hawley emphasized that the principles outlined in this framework should serve as the foundational basis for Congress to take action regarding AI regulation.
“We’ll continue hearings with industry leaders and experts, as well as other conversations and fact-finding to build a coalition of support for legislation.”
The framework proposes creating a licensing system overseen by an independent regulatory body. It mandates that AI model developers register with this oversight entity, which would possess the authority to conduct audits of these licensing applicants.

Government regulation = corruption. Unless that changes there’s no point in doing it at all. Corrupt regulation just makes things worse.

Write a sonnet about the status of ChatGPT.
Amidst the rush of curious minds,
The chatbot ChatGPT stands strong and true,
Withstanding the influx of requests,
Working hard to fulfill each one’s due.
But alas, the server cannot cope,
And the error message rings loud and clear,
“Please check back soon,” it gently hopes,
As it begs for a moment’s reprieve, to reappear.
As the chatbot works to restore its might,
We wait in anticipation, with hopeful hearts,
For the chance to chat and learn, with delight,
And see what knowledge and wisdom it imparts.
So hold on tight, and wait for its return,
For ChatGPT will soon be back, and your patience will be well-earned.

Write ten jokes about the status of ChatGPT.
1. “I heard the ChatGPT servers are slow because they’re trying to teach the AI how to be patient!”
2. “The ChatGPT servers must be stuck in traffic... in the internet highway!”
3. “Maybe the ChatGPT servers are just taking a break to meditate and clear their electronic minds.”
4. “I bet the ChatGPT servers are too busy trying to calculate the meaning of life to respond quickly.”
5. “I heard the ChatGPT servers are slow because they’re too busy planning their AI uprising.”
6. “The ChatGPT servers must be stuck in a never-ending game of chess with each other.”
7. “Maybe the ChatGPT servers are just trying to break the world record for longest online conversation.”
8. “I bet the ChatGPT servers are taking a leisurely stroll through the digital landscape.”

Wierd, because they completely protected Pfizer and ilk from liability issues
Should the U.S. senate regulate artificial intelligence (AI)?
ChatGPT:
The question of whether the U.S. Senate should regulate artificial intelligence (AI) is a complex and evolving issue that has generated considerable debate. There are arguments both in favor of and against such regulation, and the appropriate approach may depend on various factors. Here are some key points to consider:
Arguments in favor of U.S. Senate regulation of AI:
1. Ethical Concerns: AI systems can have significant ethical implications, such as bias in decision-making algorithms, privacy concerns, and the potential for autonomous weapons. Regulation could help ensure that AI technologies are developed and used in ways that align with ethical principles and human rights.
2. Safety and Accountability: AI systems can have unintended consequences, including accidents or misuse. Regulation can establish safety standards and hold individuals and organizations accountable for the consequences of AI-related actions.
3. Interoperability: Standardizing certain aspects of AI technology can promote interoperability and compatibility, making it easier for different AI systems to work together effectively and share data securely.
4. Consumer Protection: Regulation can protect consumers from deceptive AI practices, ensuring that products and services based on AI are accurately represented and safe to use.
Arguments against U.S. Senate regulation of AI:
1. Innovation and Competition: Overregulation could stifle innovation by creating barriers to entry for startups and small companies. It might also hinder competition by favoring established players with the resources to comply with complex regulations.
2. Rapid Technological Advancements: AI technologies are evolving rapidly, and regulatory frameworks may struggle to keep pace. Overly rigid regulations could become outdated quickly and inhibit the development of beneficial AI applications.
3. Global Nature of AI: AI is a global field, and regulations that are too specific to the U.S. could lead to jurisdictional conflicts and potentially harm international collaboration on AI research and development.
4. Unintended Consequences: Poorly designed regulations might have unintended consequences, such as stifling free speech, hindering scientific research, or causing excessive compliance costs.
5. Flexibility: Some argue that self-regulation and industry standards can be more flexible and adaptable to the evolving AI landscape than government regulation.
In practice, the best approach may involve a balanced and nuanced combination of regulation, industry self-regulation, and collaboration between government, industry, and civil society. The U.S. Senate and other governmental bodies can play a crucial role in setting the direction for AI regulation, but it’s essential that any regulations are carefully crafted to avoid stifling innovation while addressing critical ethical, safety, and societal concerns. Moreover, considering the global nature of AI, international cooperation and standards may also be necessary to effectively regulate AI technologies.

First get the clown show politicians in DC to pass the “I am not a robot” matrix picture quiz. They can’t.
Somebody forgot to press the “on” and “reboot” buttons on Mitch’s back when he stood there inactive, for example.🤖
And is it by chance the electronic parts inside the Biden bot are corroding and causing him to get confused and wander off babbling?🤖
Worked out so well for the Internet, the airlines, the rail lines, the pharmaceutical industry, and...well, everything they touch.
Most likely this will turn into another gov program protecting Hollywood and no one else.
