FAI was until recently known as the Lincoln Network:

From there you get to the usual crowd - CATO, CEI, the Scaife family, etc.

Do you see relevant bias in the submitted article?

It's an opinion piece, so it's biased by definition.

But nobody can be interested in random opinions, so the piece can only have value on the good points it proposes.

Given your knowledge of what you called «usual crowd», given the piece and your relative knowledge of reality, do you see in the article a bona fide analysis, or is it apparent to you that some points are ideological as opposed to factually and logically strong?

I saw the piece as mostly ideological -- not rabidly so, but not bringing any fresh new analysis to light, either. And saying pretty much the same as what these people say about any kind of regulation, be it in regard to emissions, medical devices, etc. And not surprisingly, getting paid to do so.

"With China leading the way in both AI innovation and regulation"

Uh huh.

Isn't there an argument on how AI is even more dangerous than nukes? Why would you regulate your own capabilities, unless you want to lose the inevitable AI cold war.

Basically, America can't "afford" other countries to implement strict gun laws, either.

Oh boy, any discussions around the list of things that Europe can metaphorically|literally afford but America can't/won't is going to be a bloodbath.
