The US isn’t the center of the world. Other countries can make a large difference in AI safety.
It wasn’t the USA or the USSR that started the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It was Ireland pushing it forward at the UN. It was South America that showed it was possible to do something like that with the Tlatelolco Treaty.

We the American people deserve to be left behind. Good on the world for regulating AI.
But can the dangers of unsafe AI be confined within a country’s borders?
Whelp, this isn’t true. If 10 children in a fort decide they’re going to build the future of whatever, it doesn’t mean the world will care.
Good for the US. Less regulation, more chances for success and progress, and the ability to compete with China and remain relevant in any way in the future.
Now, even less regulation and lower taxes on AI software development and data centers and energy diversification!
