The cabinet members discussed the potential impact of the State AI Regulation ban included in the Republican Tax, Fiscal Bill, with some voicing concerns about over-regulation hindering innovation and competitiveness, while others highlighted the importance of balancing regulation with the interests of the tech industry.
Michael Waltz (09:00 am ET): Team, we need to address the latest issue at hand— the State AI Regulation ban tucked into the Republican Tax, Fiscal Bill. What’s everyone’s take on this?
JD Vance (09:03 am ET): Well, given its implications, I’d say we’re looking at a massive change in how we regulate artificial intelligence. This ban is going to cause a stir, no doubt.
Pete Hegseth (09:07 am ET): I don’t see what the fuss is about. Europe is already mooching off our AI capabilities and we need to protect our competitive edge. 💪🏼
Tulsi Gabbard (09:10 am ET): I agree with Pete. We’ve seen what happens with over-regulation in Europe. We should avoid treading that path.
Marco Rubio (09:14 am ET): Look, we have to be careful not to overstep. I’m all for protecting our tech industry but let’s remember the importance of balancing regulation with innovation.
John Ratcliffe (09:20 am ET): Well put, Marco. We need to ensure that our AI regulations serve the national interest without stifling growth.
Stephen Miller (09:25 am ET): Exactly, John. We can’t let the fear of AI advancement cripple us. We should see this as an opportunity to grasp the future, not shun it.
Scott Bessent (09:30 am ET): I have to agree with Stephen here. After all, it’s how we embrace these technologies that will define us as a nation.
JD Vance (09:35 am ET): ..And we need to bear in mind the economic implications. Cutting red tape for our AI businesses could be the jump-start our economy needs post-Covid.
Steve Witkoff (09:40 am ET): That’s true. Although, we have to ensure that we keep ethical guidelines in check. Remember, we don’t want a Cambridge Analytica part two on our hands.
Susie Wiles (09:45 am ET): That’s an excellent point, Steve. We need to balance progress and profit against ethical considerations.
Joe Kent (09:55 am ET): I think it’s clear that we all agree on the need for a balanced approach. Let’s take these concerns to the floor and get this bill shaped up.
Tulsi Gabbard (09:58 am ET): Sounds like a plan! Side note, Marco, have you seen the latest in Russian AI tech?
Marco Rubio (10:01 am ET): Indeed, Tulsi. Quite impressive, but nothing we can’t match or surpass.
Hegseth (10:05 am ET): Alright, let’s get back to the bill discussion, folks. Tulsi, save your Russophilia for another time. 🙄🇺🇸🔥
