Watch Sen. Paul: 'Too Soon' for 'Crazy' AI Regulation

Bloomberg.com · · International · AI Governance

Senator Rand Paul has publicly argued that it is too early to regulate artificial intelligence, calling proposed AI regulation 'crazy' and urging restraint on legislative action.

Why this matters: Paul's position is not unusual, but it matters who wins this argument and when. The window for setting rules around AI is not open forever. Every month without guardrails is a month companies can move faster, collect more, and build systems that become much harder to rein in later. 'Too soon' is a position that tends to age badly for the people who end up on the wrong end of the technology.
