State AGs Warn Biden Order Risks Politicizing AI Regulation
- Coalition of 20 state attorneys general warns Biden's AI executive order could allow federal government to centralize control over emerging technology
- Order requires companies to share safety test results and other info with government, which AGs say could be used for political ends like censoring "disinformation"
- AGs argue order creates "opaque and undemocratic process" that will discourage AI development and favor big tech companies
- They accuse order of failing to disclose how federal government will use data provided, creating a "governmental black box"
- Attorneys general say order improperly relies on Defense Production Act when it has no authority to regulate AI technology development
