As long as she strengthens the FCC, FTC, and deals with the rot in SCOTUS, we'll be in good shape to deal with AI.

If by deal with ai that results in whoever made it being responsible for it then that kills foss ai. The ai dangerous rhetoric is mostly bs to use the law to stop free software.

The person responsible is the one receiving money from it. I don't care who makes it, but if you're profiting from something, it's your responsibility to vet its safety.

I assume Harris would keep Lina Khan at the FTC so she can keep kicking ass there.

For sure, but I more meant that she would hopefully work to literally strengthen their powers, since SCOTUS effectively neutered federal agencies' ability to interpret the law.
