Washington is spreading its tentacles into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) as the powers that be seek to control all AI models.

Two major AI companies, OpenAI and Anthropic, have agreed to share their AI models with the U.S. government’s AI Safety Institute before unleashing them so the nation’s overlords can evaluate their “capabilities and risks” before allowing them to be publicly released.

OpenAI and Anthropic are also said to be “collabor[ating] on methods to mitigate potential issues,” to quote Bloomberg.

“Safety is essential to fueling breakthrough technological innovation,” commented Elizabeth Kelley, director of the AI Safety Institute. “These agreements are just the start, but they are an important milestone as we work to help responsibly steward the future of AI.”

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) also revealed that it is now working “in close collaboration with the UK’s AI Safety Institute” to do the very same thing across the pond.

“We strongly support the US AI Safety Institute’s mission and look forward to working together to inform safety best practices and standards for AI models,” said OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon.

“We believe the institute has a critical role to play in defining U.S. leadership in responsibly developing artificial intelligence and hope that our work together offers a framework that the rest of the world can build on.”

AI makes Kamala and other Democrats look stupid

To illustrate how this “partnership” between Washington and the AI industry is transforming free speech into tyranny, consider what House Democrats are doing with AI to try to stop Donald Trump and other Republicans from winning their elections this fall.

To minimize the number of “memes” that the right releases in the lead-up to Election Day – memes that mock Democrat candidates like Kamala Harris and expose them for who they really are – House Democrats wants the FEC to issue a new rule allowing for AI images created specifically by Grok, the AI program developed by Elon Musk, to be censored or banned.

“In other words, they want to eradicate memes they don’t like,” is how one independent media source put it.

Democratic House Members are now pressuring the FEC to issue new rules to censor @elonmusk‘s new Grok-2 AI art generator before the election.

In a statement, House Democrats tried to defend their quest to stamp out all Grok memes.

“It is critical for our democracy that this be promptly addressed, noting the degree to which Grok-2 has already been used to distribute fake content regarding the 2024 presidential election,” they said.

“This election cycle, we have seen candidates use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in campaign ads to depict themselves or another candidate engaged in an action that did not happen or saying something the depicted candidate did not say.”

It would seem as though what House Democrats are talking about in this context is parody videos like the one below that makes fun of Kamala and exposes her stupidity:

JUST IN: Elon Musk tells CA Governor Gavin Newsom to “Suggon Deeznutz” after Newsom threatened to change the law to make AI “ad” voices illegal.

Newsom was upset over a parody video (below) that Musk shared on X.

Since most real intelligence has long left the building, Washington is relying on artificial intelligence to try to maintain control over the world. Find out more at Overlords.news.
