In short, the tentacles of US tech firms are everywhere\u2014vaccines, food, cancer research, psilocybin centers, criminal justice reform, homelessness\u2014the list could reach the moon. (Speaking of the moon, how could we forget commercial spaceflight?) And the AI boom is likely to further expand tech firms\u2019 power and riches. Yet on Capitol Hill, some powerful Republicans are focused on one goal: ensuring American AI dominance.<\/p>\n

On this front, Rubio generally sees any new regulation as a needless-to-harmful constraint on US technology giants and their AI experiments. One near-universal takeaway from the briefings is that America can\u2019t afford to be number two.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re dealing with a technology that knows no national borders, so even if we write laws that say a company can\u2019t do that in America, it doesn\u2019t mean some company in some other part of the world or some government in other parts of the world won\u2019t innovate that, and use it, and deploy it against the US,\u201d Rubio says.<\/p>\n

Senator Mike Rounds, a South Dakota Republican and one of four senators who spearheaded the all-senators briefings, echoes this sentiment. \u201cAI is gonna advance regardless of whether it happens here in the United States or elsewhere. We have to be advancing faster than our adversaries,\u201d he says. \u201cWe have to advance it, but we also want to put in appropriate safeguards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Specifics remain impossible to pin down in most corners of the Capitol. Lawmakers are still taking in the potential of new language learning models, like ChatGPT and Google\u2019s Bard, even as AI laps us all. Rounds maintains an openness to nebulous new parameters, on the one hand, but in a critical, fatherly way, he also faults Americans for signing over our data privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s the deal, we voluntarily give it away,\u201d Rounds says. \u201cPeople don\u2019t seem to realize that when they sign these agreements, they\u2019re giving up a lot of their personal information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recklessly handing over our data might be fine if it\u2019s American tech companies that are grabbing it. But Rounds, like most lawmakers, decries the idea of giving our private data to Chinese-owned TikTok. It\u2019s the one privacy matter everyone can agree on\u2014excluding, perhaps, the 150 million US-based users the company claims to have.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere doesn\u2019t seem to be a whole lot of concern about it by a significant amount of the American public, which is unfortunate because that\u2019s helping to create the databases that eventually may be used against us,\u201d Rounds says.<\/p>\n

While Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the others tried to steer the conversation around artificial intelligence clear of politics, AI now seems lodged in the age-old partisan debate that pits laissez-faire capitalism against Big Brother, which New Mexico Democrat Martin Heinrich says is regrettably shortsighted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe failed to regulate the internet when it was regulatable, and Republicans and Democrats today\u2014for the most part\u2014are going, \u2018Holy cow, we subjected our entire teenage population to this experiment, and it\u2019s not serving us well.\u2019 So I just don’t think it\u2019s helpful to get hardened,\u201d Heinrich says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
