John,
Why are Big Tech billionaires falling over each other to bow down to Trump?
They’re counting on AI to make them even richer, and they can’t have any regulations getting in the way of that. That’s why they and their lobbying groups are plotting a $100 million dollar blitz to boost AI-friendly candidates and oppose AI regulation at the state and federal level.
But there’s plenty about AI for us to worry about. We will have huge needs for real regulation in the coming years — some of which we can see coming, but much of which we can’t even begin to predict.
I hope you’ll join us to explore some of the oncoming dangers of AI in this week’s video.
We don’t know the long-term effects of AI, so we need to put up guardrails today. We need lawmakers who won’t sell out our future to the whims and profit margins of Big Tech.
AI could be a net good for society. Or it could be a wrecking ball.
Its future is not written in stone. It is written in code, and we still have time to shape it.
