As tech experts sound the alarm on advanced artificial intelligence, congressional lawmakers were split on the extent to which the federal government is capable of regulating AI platforms. WASHINGTON, D.C. – As tech experts sound the alarm on advanced artificial intelligence, congressional lawmakers were split on the extent to which the federal government is capable of regulating AI platforms. "I think it's important that the government regulate these platforms," Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost said. "That's one of the major functions of the federal government, to help protect consumers and data and privacy of our citizens." Rep. Maxwell Frost said it's important that the government regulate artificial intelligence platforms, though he also acknowledged he's not "super briefed" on the platforms.

Clearview AI, a facial recognition company has sparked privacy concerns surfacing from data stolen - which included its entire list of customers, the number of searches those customers have made – and how many accounts each customer had set up. Clearview's clients are mostly law enforcement agencies, with police departments in Toronto, Atlanta and Florida – all using the technology. During Season Four of the Chris Collins Show – CEO Roland Memesevic from A.I. company – 21 Billion Neurons – addressed whether the government should regulate artificial intelligence: "Yeah, I think that we should all be open to everything and have a very open debate about how we're going to make sure that this is going to be used in a good way... And just running around fixing things in hindsight isn't going to work. I think that it's important that politics and the tech companies get together and figure this out jointly because often – I don't know – there's been backlash from Facebook in hindsight and there's going to be more backlash. It's like we're trying to patch things and other things pop up over here becoming another issue."
