Senator Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California, is pushing for legislation that would impose new limitations on the Pentagon's use of artificial intelligence (AI), mandating human oversight of AI-powered weapons and restricting domestic surveillance. This move comes amid growing skepticism towards AI, particularly among younger Americans, as evidenced by a recent CBS/YouGov poll where 78% of respondents expressed concerns about AI companies seeking to enhance their power at the expense of human jobs. Schiff believes that AI could become a pivotal issue in the next presidential election, especially as Democrats prepare for the midterms. In response, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at addressing public concerns about AI, encouraging companies to voluntarily submit their models for government testing. Trump also suggested that the American public could own shares in AI companies, a proposal that has raised alarms about the potential for a 'social credit system' in the US. As the political landscape shifts, both parties are navigating the complexities of AI regulation and its implications for national security and public trust.
