Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why?

These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe.

AI Action Plan: Unleashing Innovation or Unleashing Chaos?
The president’s new AI Action Plan aims to “unburden” the AI industry, but it seems more like a plan to “burden” us with confusion. With government automated decision making moving at warp speed and transparency stuck in first gear, AI procurement is risking civil liberties. Welcome to the era of AI snake oil!
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, it seems the government is trying to play God with AI, but without letting anyone read the commandments. One minute they’re teaching AI to make decisions about our lives, and the next, they’re wondering why everyone’s yelling ‘Skynet’ in the streets. Meanwhile, the big tech companies are ready to collect their “Get Out of Jail Free” cards while the rest of us are left holding a bag of ‘oops.’ Someone tell them that the point of AI isn’t to make us all obsolete. Or is it?
Key Points:
- Executive order aims to boost AI innovation by removing “engineered social agendas”.
- EFF emphasizes transparency and accountability in government AI procurement.
- Concerns over AI use in policing, national security, and employment decisions.
- Regulations like NO FAKES and NO AI Fraud potentially favor corporate giants.
- AI licensing schemes could limit innovation to only those with deep pockets.
