Gary Marcus slams White House AI policy as disorganized and weak

Gary Marcus criticizes the White House's AI policy as disorganized and ineffective, highlighting both former President Trump's executive order and a recent Commerce Department order. Marcus argues that Trump's order on pre-flight testing is too weak and voluntary, failing to address significant harms like those alleged in Florida's lawsuit against OpenAI. He also points to New York's subpoena of OpenAI as an example of states stepping in to fill the regulatory void. The Commerce Department's export control order is also panned for its potential to harm the US AI industry, with Marcus suggesting it was a panicked and poorly considered reaction, partly due to Anthropic's own advocacy for such controls.
