AI systems are “idiot savants,” and maximizing what models do well while minimizing screwups will be crucial to adoption of AI into the U.S. government’s defense functions.

Ted Cruz brings back deepfakes bill that almost passed
If it were to pass, the measure known as the Take It Down Act, would represent a rare success among lawmaker efforts to regulate social media.
NEWS: Cruz reintro'd his bipartisan bill on deep fake nudes. The Take It Down Act came about as close to passing last year as it could without becoming law, but it's in a great position for this year. Rare issue where most everyone agrees
