[Hoot Gibson]

The corrupt and incompetent federal government is the easiest entity on the planet to beat. Work around them off the radar and do your thing and you will be fine.

If Big Tech colludes with the federal government, which they have already done, then the best AI will be made off limits to average Americans, IMO. The government and its cronies are corrupt, but when it comes to grabbing power and money for themselves, they have been very successful. The average American cannot afford to build their own super computers to host the kind of AI systems that are on the not so distant horizon.

Imagine what the IRS could do to individual citizens with the forced cooperation of the banking system and employers.

Just as with the global warming scams, countries like China will not do anything to keep AI technology out of the hands of bad actors. Armed with AI, hackers in countries like China and North Korea will be targeting private citizens in this country, and if we want to be protected from them, we will pay for it and our elected representatives and corporations who support them will see their power and wealth explode.

Through federal contracts, the federal government will choose winners and losers in the AI field. Most of the winners have already been decided. They include Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia, among others. All lean sharply to the left and none of them will oppose strict federal regulation of AI technologies because it will make it difficult for start-ups and smaller IT companies to compete.
