    Politco is all about how the dems are testing the waters but seem to be staying on the side of the money (not regulating AI)

    A large part of the reason a small but loud minority of Democrats are only getting louder about this issue is that they see little or no action from the party and believe it’s creating a vacuum that Republicans are filling. Right now, the AI industry has an ally in the White House, but there is an increasing number of skeptics in the Republican Party, and those figures could become more influential in the future.

    They’re all about how the dem leadership is all for not regulating it while some members are upset about it.

      Dem Leadership and the rest of the party voted against blocking AI Regulation, such was the case with the “Big Beautiful Bill”, and established a committee with the express purpose of writing and reviewing legislation over the issue of AI. How is that “all for not regulating it”? At best you could accuse them of not doing enough, which means fuck all for a minority party in the first place.

        BY APPOINTING THESE FIVE MEMBERS to the commission, Jeffries is signaling to the AI industry that he is open to their demands. This is not the first time that the House Democratic leader has attempted to broker peace with the tech oligarchs who’ve flocked to Trump’s side. In February, he traveled to Northern California to meet with tech titans on their turf and reassure them that the post-Biden Democratic Party had no intention of threatening their business interests. But this has done little to dislodge the hold the Trump administration has over the industry.

        Yes the committee they establishished is totally gonna do regulations
