AI vs. Hollywood - The Battle is Just Beginning

Many of the Hollywood glitterati are harping about the urgency to enact laws curtailing the use of artificial intelligence. Congress however is doing a very slow walk on the issue and there is no legislation in sight let alone pending.

On the flip side, the AI industry argues laws and restrictive regulations will only stifle innovation and creativity. 

House Democrats say Republicans are to blame for the holdup, but that tactic doesn't compute because the issue is extremely complex. How and in what form should AI take? How do you control it? If there are only regulations in the U.S., AI developers will just move to another jurisdiction. 

We all know that AI can and will deliver breakthroughs in science, medicine, education, industry, and in our daily lives. AI can be a great and good force that can help people the world over and the bigger picture must be addressed - not just the few who want protection for their image or voice.
