Proposed US legislation could make life harder for AI and cloud service providers

As the AI race continues in the US and abroad, the U.S. Department of Commerceis taking new steps to improve the security of this field, also adding cloud computing to its latest proposal. According to Reuters, the regulatory body "is proposing to require detailed reporting requirements for advanced artificial intelligence developers and cloud computing providers to ensure the technologies are safe and can withstand cyberattacks."

For now, the proposal says that the Bureau of Industry and Security will set mandatory reporting to the government for companies working with cutting-edge AI models and computing clusters. The reports will have to cover the security measures taken to ensure that the solutions being developed are not vulnerable to cyberattacks, but the goal of this proposal is deeper than just that. Generative AI, for example, could upend elections, eliminate millions of jobs by replacing humans, and, in a Terminator-like scenario, try to overpower humans and control the planet.

While the recently proposed California AI law will only have local effects, if the US Department of Commerce succeeds with this new action, all US-based companies will need to comply with the requirements. However, it might take a while for all the rules to be clearly laid out before giants like Amazon or Microsoft can adjust their internal procedures to comply with them.
