There's nothing wrong with supporting the industry of AI. I want to be very clear about that. However, to me, it is stunningly disingenuous to use fear, safety, harm reduction, human rights protection and more to say that's the reason for this bill, which is why I was asking what this bill is actually doing.
If we were to stop and go back to the start, we could ask, “What are the sector-specific harms we're seeing? How did we deal with them in software and banking?” Take any sector. They're not starting from scratch. They've had to deal with data. They've had to deal with privacy. They've had to deal with software. There are harms all over the place with software. We're not looking at those. This is also not even coherent with the last 30 years of tech harms.
What I'm saying is that you should go to the people. Again, the only people we should be talking to haven't been included in this process. They're the ones who could tell you about the problems, because right now, everybody's talking in generic terms.
