Lunatics in the White House Need a Bill of Rights for an AI-Powered World

What a failure of intelligence coming out of the White House! These two authors of this opinion piece are with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy!

Like any new transformative technology before in history, the nascent AI has its kinks etc. and they will be corrected as time goes on. No good reason to get too worried! 

Too much government regulation early on and AI will fizzle!

Much of the critique in this article comes from ideological myopia:
"... In the United States, some of the failings of AI may be unintentional, but they are serious and they disproportionately affect already marginalized individuals and communities. They often result from AI developers not using appropriate data sets and not auditing systems comprehensively, as well as not having diverse perspectives around the table to anticipate and fix problems before products are used (or to kill products that can’t be fixed).
In a competitive marketplace, it may seem easier to cut corners. ..."
