Open-source AI is good for us, says @opensauceAI, head of public policy at @StabilityAI. But current regulatory trends threaten to quash transparency and competition in AI. https://t.co/CRGDiPDWKQ

Artificial intelligence has tremendous potential to transform our lives for the better, but we also need to address potential risks associated with it. I'm working on @FinancialCmte's bipartisan AI Working Group to do exactly that. https://t.co/9EtVjShQsw
Completely agree with @SenCortezMasto's statement at this morning's @SenateFinance hearing "Artificial Intelligence and Health Care" - attending @CES to see how tech is used in real life is critical. Was honored to help show her some of the AI in health developments at #CES2024 https://t.co/HGrmgwSmC3
AI offers seemingly endless opportunities for every part of American life, including health care. Rather than legislate first and ask questions later, Congress needs to gain a better understanding of AI and carefully consider regulations moving forward. https://t.co/tEPrLkk3BK
Open source is one of the biggest drivers of progress in software - AI would be unrecognizable without it. However, it is under existential threat from both regulation and well-funded lobby groups. The community needs to defend it vigorously. 🧵 https://t.co/j8qeTGpjoz

This week, the @housescience held a hearing on artificial intelligence. I am all for advancing AI because of the vast and great potential it has to benefit American society. However, there needs to be a balanced approach that encourages innovation without excessive regulation… https://t.co/5EKaPeCoW2
