Episode notes

The EU is trying to restrict certain risky uses of AI and other things. The fear is that if the restrictions come like they're planned, then that somehow stifles what we're seeing in the blossoming world of open source AI. How do you put some regulation around that process when you don't want to stifle the open source thing? And how do you deal with that tension?

In this Fully Connected episode, Daniel and Chris kick it off by noting that Stability AI released their SDXL 1.0 LLM! They discuss its virtues, and then dive into a discussion regarding how the United States, European Union, and other entities are approaching governance of AI through new laws and legal frameworks. In particular, they review the White House’s approach, noting the potential for unexpected consequences.
