'Reads like it was written by Sam Altman and Big Tech lobbyists,' say critics
A quartet of US senators have released an AI legislation roadmap that calls for billions of dollars in research funding, but largely kicks the can down the road on determining federal AI legislation.] calls for as much as $32 billion per year to be spent on non-defense AI innovation. Led by Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer , Todd Young , Martin Heinrich and Mike Rounds , said the funding would be phased in over a number of years.
As attention-grabbing as $32b annual spend on AI is, that's the only thing the report seems to refer to with much urgency. Everything else - like federal AI legislation to combat issues with the technology - is largely kicked down the road and passed off to committees. "Our working group was able to identify key areas of policy that have bipartisan consensus," Schumer said."Now, the work continues with our Committees, Chairmen, and Ranking Members to develop and advance legislation."
"AI is not only complex, but it's rapidly evolving and it's so broad in its impact," Schumer said yesterday."We've never ever dealt with anything like this before.
