On Tuesday morning, as I was in the middle of my commute, I was bombarded with text messages saying that President Trump had, to many people's surprise, signed an executive order to regulate artificial intelligence.
And it gives the government, for the first time really under the Trump administration, oversight over AI models.
Hmm.
This is a big change for an administration that has had an entirely hands-off approach to regulating the tech industry and the companies that are pushing artificial intelligence forward.
What the government has done is said that AI companies will share...
their models voluntarily with the government about 30 days before they're released publicly so that the government can review the models and figure out if there are any software vulnerabilities that they could attack.
And then that would allow the government to patch those vulnerabilities and prevent a cyber attack by a foreign adversary or just a bad actor.
Well, it's been on a journey.
And that journey began last year when President Trump came into office.
And one of the first things he did was sign an executive order that repealed and scrapped all of the rules from the Biden era that were designed to bring some safety processes to bear on artificial intelligence.
The AI industry is a beautiful baby, and you don't want rules to get in the way of a beautiful baby when it's taking its first steps.
You just want it to take its first steps, essentially, and let it start to run.
And that was the administration's philosophy.
And that philosophy was really...
cultivated and encouraged by David Sachs, the White House AI czar.
David is a venture capitalist.
He's pretty much a libertarian.
And he believes that any rules would get in the way of technology's advancement and development.
And he wins the president's ear with two arguments.
On one hand, like the geopolitical competition between superpowers, between the United States and China for who's going to control this technology that clearly has the potential to define the next century.
