Musk says AI industry needs a ‘referee,’ but Congress is ‘not yet’ ready to champion role

“Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday on the sidelines of the first-ever bipartisan Senate AI forum that it is “important for us to have a referee” when it comes to regulating artificial intelligence, but Congress is “not yet” ready to step into that role.”
I 100% agree with this because they (congress) need to be more educated and informed on AI before they can assume the mediator role of arbiter.
“Musk said the key point of the meeting was that “it’s important for us to have a referee, just as you have a referee in a sports game, or all sports games and that the games are better for it to ensure that there’s players that obey the rules, play fairly.”
This approach could help slow down the rush to “be the 1st to market” without knowing the full extent and ramifications of the models that are being published to the public. In other words, slow down the “arms race” and give all parties the time to think a little more clearly.
