Re: US AI Action Plan
#482The most important thing here IMHO is the strong stance taken towards open source and open weight AI models. This stance puts the US government at odds with some other regulatory initiatives like the EU AI Act (which doesn't outlaw open weight models and does have some exemptions below 10²⁵ FLOPS, but still places a fairly daunting regulatory burden on decentralized open projects).
If you go through the "Recommended Policy Actions" section in the document, you'll realize it's mostly just empty talk.
IMHO it's not empty talk; a lot of the elements of the plan reinforce each other. For example, it's pretty clear that state initiatives that were aiming to place regulatory thresholds like the 10^26 FLOPS limit in Calfornia's SB1047 are going to be targets under this plan, and US diplomatic participation in initiatives like the Council of Europe AI treaty are now on the chopping block. There are obviously competing perspectives emerging globally on regulation of AI, and this plan quite clearly aims to foster one particular side. It doesn't appear to be hot air.
For open source/open weight models it's particularly important because until now there wasn't a government-level strong voice countering people like Geoff Hinton's call to ban open source/open weight AI, like he articulates here: https://thelogic.co/news/ai-cant-be-slowed-down-hinton-says-...

#483Earlier quoted context omitted.
How can this work with their main goal of assuring American superiority? If it’s open weights anyone else can use it too.
That's exactly what the goal is: That everyone uses American models over Chinese models that will "promote democratic values".
The ultimate propaganda machine.

Which ones? Most of these AI companies are still not public.

#486Side Note: Trump relying on far left, woke technologies once again is amusing.

#487In the energy section, they talk about using nuclear fusion to power AI... but not solar. What a joke.
Nothing stops the AI companies from using only energy from renewable sources, right?
They just buy a contract from a power distribution company. They don't care where it comes from.
If you want the PD companies to have a different blend, then they need carrots and sticks.

I wish him well.
