Google Warns US That Slow AI Oversight Could Cost Innovation Edge
Google's Vice President of Privacy, Safety, and Security Engineering, Royal Hansen, has urged lawmakers to streamline AI adoption in the US, cautioning that excessive regulation risks stifling innovation. 'Responsible development is key,' Hansen emphasized during a recent briefing, highlighting AI's transformative potential in energy, healthcare, and scientific research.
The 'Genesis Mission'—a collaboration between tech firms, the Department of Energy, and the OSTP—exemplifies this push. Initiated under a Trump-era executive order, the project underscores the strategic race to lead in AI infrastructure.
