But this resolution specifically safeguards AI "automated decision systems", which they define as:
> any computational process derived from machine learning, statistical modeling, data analytics, or artificial intelligence that issues a simplified output, including a score, classification, or recommendation, to materially influence or replace human decision making.
Recommendation algorithms [weaponize influence against people that] decide elections, change laws, and move markets. The US effectively mandated a minimum drinking age by tying it to interstate funding. Some 40 years later, you can (AFAIK) openly operate a recommendation algorithm aimed at getting masses of people to drink and drive, and still be eligible for federal grants and funding.
AI should be open and free of barriers. Our government should not give money to corporations that manipulate our emotions for control and profit. Sure, we can rabble to our tribe about "Republicans" and "the GOP", but federal funding and directing of the manipulation of Americans was enabled by the Smith–Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 under a split congress and democratic president.
Increasing corporate control over the public is currently a bipartisan issue, and words can't undo it.

How can anyone pretend to be surprised?

If you're one of the faithful, your national and state leadership was revealed as liars, with no moral principles and no spine. You've been abandoned after years of believing.

I don’t know if I’m really asking for a splinter group because I don’t think anyone in the GOP now is trustworthy (some who aren’t active maybe) …. As much as I would enjoy a third-party.

Are Newt and Rush and Donald “owning the libs” with serial infidelity and multiple divorces? No, “owning the libs” only works directed at principled centrists or conservatives. Liberals are unperturbed by the “owning the libs” stuff because it’s only the kind of thing a bootlicking tool would say, like “heil Hitler”.
There’s another phenomenon (I’m in the Midwest where we say grace at a meal). Young people quoting Acts, while older people tend toward the Old Testament. I’m very careful when I say this: quoting the Old Testament is Judeo-Christian but it is distinctly different than following Christ as savior. This is crystal clear to young people in a paleoconservative way.
The embrace of Russia starting with Paul Manafort implanting words in the Republican Party platform in 2015. Someone like me sees the KGB fellas ascend at the end of Yeltsin and expects their old habits. Whether the guys around Putin can be trusted should be easy for a conservative to answer.
