| It doesn’t really matter what party does it The ideal case is a statutory agency with regulatory authority that sets very clear standards for what model capabilities can and cannot release. Those are set ahead of time and well known by frontier model providers. Most normal regulations are managed through the administrative procedures act process. That’s a legal requirement that involves deliberation and public comment. I’d argue you could pretty easily enumerate most capabilities that have been obvious concerns for a while. For example, cyber security. This structure can last decades and reassure players they can operate in the market without rules changing suddenly without warning. Some kind of sudden, temporary action like this export control tool is legally fragile. Even if sometimes necessary in exceptional cases. But if the administration sees this as a permanent way of working, they won’t be helping anyone (but maybe themselves through grift). If the administration truly cares about functional regulation (which maybe they don’t) they need a sturdier legal structure that lasts past Trump. Not flimsy edicts that change with the wind |
