Two alternative EOs, composed by state Republicans and intended to confront AI Amnesty, are circulating on the Hill.
The “National Standard” EO would mitigate social harms, prevent catastrophic risk, hand power over to AI users rather than tech oligarchs, and to “promote human flourishing.” Setting aside questions of how AI and true human flourishing can coexist, the intent is clear—uphold human interests over profits or the Machine.
The EO on “Woke AI” addresses the ridiculous canard that state laws would allow California or Colorado to turn AI “woke”—as if AI wasn’t already “woke” enough. This draft EO does so without stepping on states’ rights to craft their own legislation.
Most importantly, both draft EOs provide viable alternatives to attempts by David Sacks and Co to subvert states’ rights on behalf of tech companies who want to see human beings uploaded, replicated, and replaced.
