Why the U.S. Government Isn't Rushing to Regulate AI - The New York Times

For corporate America, the biggest trend to latch onto at the moment is artificial intelligence, stoked by the popularity of ChatGPT. But worries about the dangers of widespread A.I. use are growing as well. There's one big hitch: Governments -- notably Washington -- haven't kept pace with regulations for the technology. That could lead to dire consequences: "By failing to establish such guardrails, policymakers are creating the conditions for a race to the bottom in irresponsible A.I.," Carly Kind, the director of the Ada Lovelace Institute, a policy research group, told The Times. Washington has been largely hands off on A.I. rules, even as several lawmakers have pushed to tighten oversight.
