@jmaris<\/a> @dalias<\/a> I agree, it's critically important not to allow everyone to have different definitions of things like \"AI\" and conflating things that are NOT similar except that they run on computers.<\/p>

There is no world where I can or should be subject to \"AI Regulations\" by creating a statistical ML model for classification of photos of knives or flowers.<\/p>
