AI policy group proposes legislation, raises concern among market participants
The AI policy group’s model legislation document, the Responsible Advanced Artificial Intelligence Act (RAAIA), and its contents have raised concern in the crypto community. Proponents and experts like Neeraj Agrawal and lawyer Neil Chilson shared their take on the legislation in official tweets on social media platform X.
In its legislation, the group lobbies for stringent rules on AI, with a focus on safety, establishment of a licensing regime and the imposition of civil and criminal liabilities for misuse of AI. Marc Ross, Communications Director at the Center for AI Policy, said in a LinkedIn post, alongside an official press release,
Safety first: The Center for AI Policy, a new group lobbying for tight rules on artificial intelligence, released a draft bill this morning that would launch a new AI safety agency. It would also grant the White House sweeping emergency powers, establish a strict licensing regime, clamp down on open-source models, and impose civil and criminal liability on developers.

AI token prices suffer a decline
Data from crypto intelligence tracker CoinGecko shows that the top AI tokens have observed a correction in their prices on Wednesday. This correction has been likely catalyzed by Bitcoin’s price decline below $68,000, on Binance. It may be attributed to the Responsible Advanced Artificial Intelligence Act legislation proposed by the policy group, which according to Marc Ross, spells concerns for developers.
