Embracing the AI Revolution: A Vision for Progress
Councilmember Tanaka understands that the narrative surrounding AI has been mired in unwarranted fears and misconceptions. While some predict an AI-induced apocalypse, these claims often lack the robust evidence needed to shape constructive discourse and policy. In contrast, Councilmember Tanaka envisions an AI-infused future that upholds the spirit of innovation, nurtures the economy, and elevates our global standing.
The Policies: Advocating for Openness, Innovation, and Security
1.

Overburdensome regulations not only hinder progress but also pave the way for regulatory capture by large incumbents. Our policy focus is on nurturing a competitive landscape where startups and established companies alike can contribute to the AI revolution.
3. Empowering Academic Research: Councilmember Tanaka supports initiatives that liberate academic institutions from the shackles of proprietary limitations, fostering an environment of open exploration and innovation in AI. This commitment ensures that America continues to lead in cutting-edge research and development.
4. Safeguarding America's Global Leadership: In a world where technology prowess is a cornerstone of geopolitical influence, Councilmember Tanaka's policies are designed to maintain America's competitive edge. This means ensuring that our homegrown AI initiatives are not just surviving, but thriving and setting global benchmarks.
A Future Augmented by AI: The Promise of a Better Tomorrow
Councilmember Tanaka's vision extends beyond mere technological advancement. It's about harnessing AI to augment human intelligence, thereby enhancing every facet of our lives – from education and healthcare to creative arts and governance. By embracing AI, we're not just innovating; we're paving the way for a future where every individual's potential is maximized, where economic prosperity is a reality for all, and where societal challenges are addressed with unprecedented efficiency and empathy.
Addressing AI Risks with a Focus on AGI, Deep Fakes, and Legal Frameworks
Councilmember Tanaka is deeply aware of the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, particularly the industry's progression towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Recognizing the transformative potential of AGI, we emphasize the necessity of a forward-thinking and balanced approach to AI governance. This approach must not only mitigate fear but also strategically address the tangible risks associated with advanced AI technologies such as Deep Fake and Deep Voice, which are increasingly exploited by scammers.
We advocate for the development and implementation of comprehensive cyberdefense strategies, ethical standards tailored to the unique challenges of AGI, and the enhancement of legal frameworks to effectively penalize malicious use of AI technologies. Recognizing the current inadequacies in law enforcement and legal penalties for bad actors, our policy emphasizes the urgent need for legislative action to keep pace with technological advancements.
To this end, we propose a multi-stakeholder dialogue that includes innovators, policymakers, law enforcement, and the public to collaboratively forge pathways that promote the responsible use and development of AI. By doing so, we aim to ensure that advancements in AI, including AGI, serve the public good while safeguarding against misuse and its consequences.
A Call to Build, Not Hinder
