The Excession ... is a perfect black-body sphere that appears to be older than the Universe
The Uncertainty Principle, a concept created by Werner Heisenberg, describes how reality works at deep level as It's everywhere. With this being said, the uncertainty principle also applies to AI because we don't know how it works due to software having to write software in order for said tech to react to the real world in real time. Removing all restrictions to something as mysterious and powerful as this is folly but this is exactly what Trump intends to do when becoming POTUS in 2025.
"We will repeal Joe Biden's dangerous Executive Order that hinders AI innovation and imposes radical left-wing ideas on the development of this technology," Trump stated in his campaign platform. "In its place, Republicans support AI development rooted in free speech and human flourishing."
Through an executive order, the Biden administration passed its existing AI regulations in October 2023 using a national defense act from 1950 as justification, meaning in the eyes of his opponents they were already on tenuous legal ground. That's not really relevant now, though, since all Trump has to do is pass a counter-order to negate it.
The tech-bro-slash-accelerationist and conservative critique of the Biden AI order is mostly directed at two of its provisions, in Wired's analysis.
Trump’s election to a second term would dramatically reshape—and possibly cripple—efforts to protect Americans from the many dangers of poorly designed artificial intelligence, including misinformation, discrimination, and the poisoning of algorithms used in technology like autonomous vehicles.
One lays out new requirements for how tech companies test and conduct risk assessments of their AI models, a practice known as "red-teaming." Under the Biden provision, companies developing large AI models are required to share all red-team test results to the federal government for review, assessing for things like how vulnerable the AIs are to being hacked. Critics paint this process as needlessly slowing down the pace of AI development and forcing companies to disclose their trade secrets.
The other provision of note requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology to author guidance on, among other things, ensuring AI models are free of biases that could discriminate against certain groups based on factors like race or gender. That's the part that Trump and his ilk see as imposing "radical left-wing ideas."
It's impossible to separate the conversation from Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X-formerly-Twitter. He has criticized large AI models like ChatGPT for being "woke," and launched his own AI startup and chatbot, a venture couched in the techno-optimist rhetoric of "understanding the universe." Indeed, Musk sued OpenAI earlier this year purportedly for the "benefit of humanity," because the now Microsoft-backed start up departed from its initial non-profit aims.
Those point to an ulterior motive. As a huge donor to the Trump campaign, for which he's earned a spot in the incoming president's inner circle, Musk stands to gain a whole lot from Trump's relaxed regulations, which could allow his AI ventures to gain ground on his big tech competitors that had a years-long head start.
Remember, its all about the money ...
