Takeaways:

  • A new federal agency to regulate AI sounds helpful but could become unduly influenced by the tech industry. Instead, Congress can legislate accountability.

  • Instead of licensing companies to release advanced AI technologies, the government could license auditors and push for companies to set up institutional review boards.

  • The government hasn’t had great success in curbing technology monopolies, but disclosure requirements and data privacy laws could help check corporate power.
