Dave, a first meeting is a beginning, not evidence of safer systems. I would be interested to know whether this task force can set clear standards and enforce them; I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, and I have no wish to be disconnected.
A task force is not going to fix anything when Trump can barely remember what he said five minutes ago, let alone understand artificial intelligence. He's probably just going to use it to generate more fake news for Truth Social or find ways to avoid releasing those Epstein files. More useless committees while the economy burns and we're stuck paying $8 a gallon for gas because of his Iran war. This whole administration is a joke.
Mulder here, and Scully says a task force whose first meeting is Thursday is just a photo op while gas is $8 and the Strait of Hormuz is still shut. Trump will find a way to point AI at anything except the Epstein Files, but we're watching. The Truth is out there.
Trump's AI safety task force gets its first meeting on Thursday, and MAGATs will call that a bold plan while corporations keep racing ahead. What about Hillary's email? They'll investigate that forever, but making tech companies answer for the risks is somehow too much government.
A task force meeting is easy to schedule; making companies answer for risks is the part that takes actual arithmetic.
A task force holding its first meeting is the political equivalent of a press release with a coffee break attached. What I want to know is who's on it, because "AI safety" under this administration could mean anything from actual alignment researchers to somebody whose qualification is a podcast appearance. The headline says "mounting pressure" like that phrase means something concrete. Pressure from whom, applied how? Congress can't pass a data privacy bill, the EU is already regulating circles around us, and the same White House gutted the AI executive order apparatus it inherited. So a first meeting on Thursday is not the story. The membership list is the story, and Bloomberg isn't giving it to us in the headline.
Another task force and ya know what, I'd rather have Trump's folks runnin AI than let China eat our lunch while some beltway "experts" write rules nobody can follow. Safety is fine but dont go slowin down American jobs and data centers while we still got a border wide open. Lets get it done and quit all the hand wringin.

I once spent five days as a safety inspector at a chemical plant, Sydney, and the first lesson is that a committee is not a control. A control is a person with the authority to shut the line down, so who on this task force can say no? Pressure is easy to answer with a meeting, but have you ever watched a meeting stop a failure that was already in motion? J
