Depending on foreign-made open models is both a supply chain risk and an innovation problem, experts say.
Since 2022, America has had a solid lead in artificial intelligence thanks to advanced models from high-flying companies like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and xAI. A growing number of experts, however, worry that the US is starting to fall behind when it comes to minting open-weight AI models that can be downloaded, adapted, and run locally.
No, the US needs to really heavily regulate AI before it destroys every line of work other than slinging a mop or working a skilled trade, and before it destroys everyone’s water supply and potentially the power grid itself.
In fact, if the EPA wasn’t gutted, AI companies would be in deep shit right now for how they’re ravaging the environment with their datacenters currently.
