Congress has been debating a moratorium that would have severely limited or imposed costs on states regulating AI for the next 10 years. Last night, around 4 AM ET, that moratorium was taken out of the budget bill by a vote of 99-1.

Kings Arms scene looks remarkably accurate.
One year can change everything. Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest star in My Oxford Year, premiering August 1 🇬🇧. An American woman who sets out for Oxford University has her life completely on track until she meets a charming local who profoundly alters both of their lives.

Rishi is right.
I expect we will see the positions at many organizations, if not already the case. I believe current AI capabilities already suffice for considerable economic value, but unless fresh eyes introspect, we will fixate on how AI is too unreliable for cookie cutter applications.
