"Tragically, almost none of what was discussed that day has come to fruition. We have no concretely implemented international AI governance, no national AI agency; we are no longer even positioned well to detect and address AI-escalated cybercrime. AI-fueled discrimination in job decisions is likely far more rampant than before. Absolutely nothing is being done about AI-generated misinformation, political or medical. By many accounts, AI-fueled scams have exploded, too, and again there is no coherent federal response.
Two years later, Washington seems entirely different. Government officials aren’t worrying out loud about the risks of AI, anymore. They are downplaying them. Congress has failed to pass any meaningful AI regulation, and even worse, they are now actively aiming to prevent States — probably our last hope — from passing anything meaningful. Republicans as a whole are far more resistant to AI regulation now than they were in 2023, and voices like Josh Hawley, who seemed sincerely interested in how to regulate AI, are now drowned out by the administration’s across the board anti-regulatory turn.
And when Altman returned to Senate last week, he sang an entirely different tune, effectively trying to block AI regulation at every turn. Altman is no longer talking about AI regulation, he is actively resisting it.
Which raises a question: Did Altman actually mean any of what he said two years ago? I believed him at the time, but I probably shouldn’t have."
