Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

    But you’ve said it yourself, you would vote against other people’s rights if it meant fewer things, “getting in the way of open source algorithms.”

      Well, I wouldn’t vote for AI if the advancement of AI required we don’t mandate police cameras.

      But it doesn’t. The Democrats can easily both support rights and AI. It’s their choice not to and if they make that choice they lose my vote.

        Need I remind you of your initial comment?

        Delay llama 3 and I’m voting for whoever runs against Biden. No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

        No exceptions also includes even if the person running against Biden wants to take away your right to vote or bodily autonomy.

            Edit: I think you’re starting to realize that you’ve blustered yourself into a corner.

                You’ve said, repeatedly, that you would vote for AI over rights. It’s your single issue, and have even pointed out that Democrats can support both, but if they don’t support AI you’ll vote against them regardless of what their opponents support.

                  Yes, because that’s my primary issue.

                  If it was some other issue I’d flip flop my vote based on that. If I didn’t have any issues like that I’d vote on the “generic best party” and generally that’s the Democrats.

                  If I were voting against people’s rights I’d just always vote straight ticket Republican.

                    You’ve made it clear that you would vote Republican if the Democrats don’t support AI.

                    And since you have said it yourself that it would be voting against people’s rights to do so, you’ve made it clear that you are okay voting against people’s rights if it means voting for AI, which is exactly how the rights of everyone get eroded.
