There's been a growing number of AI regulation proposals I've been seeing in the US, and this bill in particular came to my attention today after seeing this article. The bill (which has just been "unanimously advanced to the Senate floor"), similar to other age verification policies, uses children's safety as a disguise to implement age verification for AI chatbots.
To require artificial intelligence chatbots to implement age verification measures and make certain disclosures, and for other purposes.
The wording of this bill is rather worrying (like many other invasive policies), and unfortunately I believe it may have a good chance of passing, with the US eagerly taking notes from the EU at the moment. As time goes on, and governments continue to restrict AI models and invade upon our privacy, I think more and more people will see the value in a local AI setup. I just hope that the current influx of open weights models will continue...
