AWS Responsible AI Policy

You make a gun and say it’s for responsible use only but sell it anyway without any checks and balances.
Which congress folks are gonna get lobbied the most for providing more immunity?
They do however all seem pretty reasonable and uncontroversial (unless I missed something) and I understand why AWS or others would want to enforce these conditions. The dividing line for me would be if use restrictions drift into the realm of politics (which "disinformation" potentially could).
I'd rather see well thought out regulation govern uses and not have monopoly providers writing the rules.
In other words... Just make sure you have a confirm dialog before launching the rockets!
IMO the major cloud players have no ethical or moral controls in place that are actually practical or useful in curtailing the usage of AI methods for the purposes of war or surveillance. It's inevitable at this point. The OpenAI/Microsoft partnership will inevitably lead to contracts with NSA/CIA/DoD. AWS/Microsoft have no real ethical pushback on DoD relationships. Google at least seems to have some internal political opposition and moral compass. The future will be a weird place.
