Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change
brianpeiris@lemmy.ca 4 weeks agoI’m not sure if this has happened yet, but in theory the TAKE IT DOWN act could be used to shutdown an open source deepfake code or model repository. In that case you’re right that there will be copies that spring up, but I think it is significant that popular projects could be taken down like that.

Glad we got that out of the way. Now can we get back to Trump’s EO so I can stop feeling like I’m feeling devil’s advocate here?

Sure. My understanding of your original comment was that Trump’s EO won’t matter to open source AI because regulations, or lack of regulations, won’t affect open source AI. My point is that regulations do affect open source AI in some significant way.

And, as what has been stated repeatedly, Trump’s EOs only affect the executive branch.

I know this. Are you saying that it doesn’t matter that dozens of government agencies will now have reduced AI regulation? Have you read how many agencies and departments will be affected? www.whitehouse.gov/…/Americas-AI-Action-Plan.pdf
