"While I have no doubt that the Democrats would substantially mishandle this, it is also likely the case that they'd get a lot of political mileage out of such efforts," tweets Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

There should be oversight of AI. The multiplication of ways it poses threats to society cannot be enumerated. It ties the brain in knots just attempting to think about the depth of how authentically clad false representation can harm us. Thus, it should receive oversight that identifies AI-related issues, exposes them for what they are, and does not tolerate such fraud.
Many Democrats for many years have championed civil liberties, the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, and effects against violations of that security and privacy; the freedoms of speech and of the press; and more. In the past quarter of a century, those rights have come under assault by a movement that goes under the banner of national security. We have no national security without personal security. We have no personal security if the enumerated and non-enumerated rights retained by the people are denied or diminished. Freedom of can also be freedom from, in certain cases. The freedom of speech can also be freedom from the abridging of the freedom of speech. So it is or can be with AI. If a stream of a video or broadcast, for an example, is artificially altered in a manner that misrepresents what it is, that is a violation of both the sending party and the receiving party. It can have devastating consequences that go well beyond the immediately offended ones. So it makes it a societal issue. Still, though, guaranteeing the rights of one person should be enough to cause oversight that ensures that they are not denied.

It is something Democrats should do and do well. It is something Republicans should do and do well. And it is something citizens of the United States should demand.
Editor's Note: The Democrat Party has been infected by socialism, and it's spreading FAST. Democrats are claiming there's nothing to worry about, but we know the truth.
