The media often portrays lawmakers as unable to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) due to its complexity and evolving nature.
This narrative overlooks the responsibility of lawmakers and their regulatory inertia.
The media frames AI regulation as a matter of technical knowledge rather than moral consideration.
The New York Times highlights the slow congressional response to new technologies and the potential influence of lawmakers' financial interests in AI companies.
The media fails to question why lawmakers, who have profited from AI, cannot apply their knowledge to regulate it.
This lack of critical information in news sources defends the inaction of lawmakers.
