US Administration AI Action Backfires, Weakens Defenders and Aids China

Original post

If the goal is to protect American networks and systems, then the action by the Administration backfired, by removing a key capability from US defenders and throwing the trustworthiness of the US ecosystem into doubt. They are laughing at us in Beijing.

Not all the signatories believe we should have any AI controls, but if we do they have to be evidence-based and fairly applied. Any fair application would catch most of the US foundation models, and also be useless as Kimi 2.7 has the same capability.

Respected ex-GOOG security eng @NielsProvos, reflects the sentiment well. This action is going to drive companies to move to (Chinese) open weight models for their critical systems, lest an arbitrary decision on a Friday afternoon yanks your AI SOC: https://www.provos.org/p/case-for-open-weight-models/

The only way to restore that trust is to return to the ideals that helped build American prosperity. A legal regime that is democratically created, transparent, fairly applied with due process, and based upon evidence. Please read the letter at http://freefable.org
