Each authorities on the planet—or almost so—introduced final week an ambition to control synthetic intelligence. Nate Jones and Jamil Jaffer take us by means of the bulletins. What’s notably discouraging is the shortage of creativeness, as governments principally dusted off their previous prejudices to deal with this new downside.
