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.

    How is the government going to get in the way of global, open-source development, regardless of what nonsense shit is passed?

      The same way they do it with crypto bullshit I’d imagine. Prosecute people for export.

      Edit: my bad. Daddy government can only do good. That’s why we support Israel.

          I’m glad it got shut down, but it doesn’t mean it didn’t have a chilling effect for years.

              It was an issue the government created to inhibit crypto. Consider 3D printed gun models, because they did the same kind of thing there and it’s in effect still.

              I fucking can’t with you people.

                Are you saying it’s illegal to create, discuss, possess and transfer STL files used to print ghost gun parts?

                Federal Laws Concerning Ghost Guns

                In August 2022, the Biden administration enacted federal regulations for all ghost gun sellers and dealers. These regulations put Ghose guns in the same legal category as traditional firearms. They further require that dealers and manufacturers of ghost gun building blocks must be federally licensed. The building blocks (the gun’s frame and receivers) must have serial numbers, and purchasers must pass a thorough background check before purchasing these parts. Records of sale must also be kept by sellers.

                These regulations did not make ghost guns illegal. People who own ghost guns can still have them provided they aren’t legally barred from owning guns. But any dealer having ghost guns must serialize them.

                Eleven states and the District of Columbia already have laws regulating ghost guns, and some of those laws ban possessing ghost guns. Unfortunately, these states cannot cut off the national supply chain for ghost guns. Hopefully, this rule will ultimately do.

                So ---- AGAIN — what the fuck are you talking about?

                I fucking can’t with you people.

          If you’ve got a better reason you look like you use boot polish for lipstick I’m all ears.

          The government using export restrictions (and any other law they can try to make apply) to enrich corporations isn’t fucking new.

        Wut?

        I read through your comments and I don’t actually think you have a clue what you’re talking about. I bet you’ve never touched a jupyter notebook or pytorch in your life.

          Is there something confusing in that sentence? The US has already banned the export of cards above a certain speed to China. It would be simple to extend that control.
