This sounds like politicians that don't understand the technology.
Anyone can create an AI model (including Gen AI LLMs). I personally created on for a hobby project trained exclusively on a series of old public domain novels from the early 1900s. Don't get me wrong, my AI model sucks and only produced barely coherent responses, but it absolutely meets the definition of an AI model.
So how would this White House action (if implemented into law) affect me and my model?
- Would I have to submit my model to a government agency to run it on my local computer?
- Would it only apply to models deployed for the consumption of others?
- Private companies that build their own AI models purely for internal business purposes not used for public consumption, would they be obligated to put it them through some government process before these models could be used inside companies?
- Is it perhaps not all AI models would need to go through this government approval process, but then what criteria defines a model that would vs one that wouldn't?
