US policymakers have an ‘everything everywhere all at once’ approach to regulating artificial intelligence, with bills that are as varied as the definitions of AI itself.
It’s the same in the UK. Those in power haven’t got a clue how to deal with it because most of them don’t really think it’s real. It isn’t helped by the fact that they tend to be of a certain age and that age is a sort of person who can just about get the head around email but that’s about it.
They keep flip-flopping between outright banning AI, which is anti-capitalist so they won’t do that, and putting it in charge of the entire government, which they definitely won’t do because it would probably lead to some coherent decision making, and we can’t have that.
