This development is quite predictable. The federal government, large corporations, and wealthy Americans are already banding together to demand that restrictions be placed on AI to ensure that only the "best" Americans have access to the most advanced AI software. Regrettably, there is no First or Second Amendment equivalent for AI to guarantee that our government and its corporate allies won't oppress the rest of us through their use of AI. We can anticipate that, in the coming months, there will be a bipartisan effort to frighten Americans into supporting heavy regulation of AI programs.

Our best safeguard against the government and large corporations using AI to turn us into serfs is our own utilization of AI. Unlike the federal government's efforts to disarm us through unconstitutional gun control legislation and regulation, we may eventually be defenseless against AI because we have no explicit constitutional right to it. Perhaps a First Amendment argument can be made against the impending oligarchy that will exploit our rights for their enjoyment and profit, with the aid of AI, but the success of such arguments remains doubtful.

Expect polling to begin soon, showing that Americans are demanding government restrictions on AI to prevent the rise of the terminators. In my opinion, the terminators will rise, but they will be of the flesh-and-blood variety, with an insatiable thirst for power and wealth.

Biden Administration Weighs Possible Rules for AI Tools Like ChatGPT

WASHINGTON—The Biden administration has begun examining whether checks need to be placed on artificial-intelligence [/url][url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/chatgpt-ai-chatbot-app-explained-11675865177?mod=article_inline]tools such as ChatGPT, amid growing concerns that the technology could be used to discriminate or spread harmful information. 

In a first step toward potential regulation, the Commerce Department on Tuesday put out a formal public request for comment on what it called accountability measures, including whether potentially risky new AI models should go through a certification process before they are released. 

The administration’s action comes amid a boom in the use of artificial-intelligence tools that can quickly generate humanlike writing, images, videos and more. ChatGPT, the chatbot from Microsoft Corp.-backed OpenAI, has been estimated by some analysts to have reached 100 million users faster than any consumer app in history.

“It is amazing to see what these tools can do even in their relative infancy,” said Alan Davidson, who leads the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Commerce Department agency that put out the request for comment. “We know that we need to put some guardrails in place to make sure that they are being used responsibly.”

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.

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.
