Episode notes
Policy Burdens Favor Big Tech
- Andreessen Horowitz argues many AI policies disproportionately burden small startups and advantage incumbents.
- Small firms lack resources to comply, lobby, or travel to influence policy, widening market concentration.
Regulate Use Not Development
- Regulating AI development adds costs across the board and acts like a tax on innovation.
- Instead, target harmful uses and enforce existing laws to protect consumers without stifling R&D.
Equip Enforcers To Use Existing Law
- Strengthen enforcement of existing consumer protection, civil rights, antitrust, and criminal laws where AI is misused.
- Fund and staff federal and state enforcers so they can apply existing laws to AI-related harms.
