The Spin
Democratic narrative
In his attempt to keep up with more ambitious regulatory goals in Europe, Pres. Biden has set the stage for the government to codify concrete laws. While the president's AI Bill of Rights and subsequent memos regarding transparency, safety, privacy, and human rights are a good start, Congress is the body that must pass legislation.
Republican narrative
Biden's AI agenda is likely being stalled because, per usual, it's chock-full of woke diversity and equity language. The White House doesn't care about protecting Americans from AI but rather uses AI to 'correct' so-called historical wrongs and make sure conservative ideas are suppressed.
