[Sources: US Bipartisan Criticize AI Executives for Being Out of Touch with the Public, Demanding They Do More and Talk Less] According to Axios, sources say that US politicians believe AI leaders are becoming a political burden. Members of Congress from both parties, congressional staff, and Washington politicians want AI founders to act like leaders of other large industries, focusing on product development and ensuring safety. AI industry leaders' talk of digital awareness and global catastrophe has turned an already complex regulatory debate into a near-irresolvable moral scare. Instead of actively promoting the benefits of AI and the shared prosperity it promises—a core element of any successful political campaign—AI leaders have repeatedly warned of potential existential threats from AI.
