Summary

Pro-AI political action committees (PACs) are focusing on a single New York congressional bid, backing or targeting candidate Alex Bores. Bores’ RAISE Act would require AI developers to disclose safety protocols and report serious system misuse. The dueling PACs have centered their efforts around this bid, indicating the significance of AI regulation in the upcoming election.


Our Reading

The announcement sounds ambitious.

AI developers might need to disclose safety protocols. They might also have to report serious system misuse. Because that’s never been said before. The RAISE Act is a bill that could change AI development. Or at least make developers write some new reports.

Original observation: It’s amazing how often “regulation” means “a few extra forms to fill out”.
