en.Wedoany.com Reported - Google has released a policy paper advocating for a "middle path" in artificial intelligence regulation, balancing market-driven innovation with independent oversight.

Google President Kent Walker stated in a blog post that the debate over AI governance has fallen into a false choice between overregulation and no regulation. The company believes there is a middle path: an evidence-based, pragmatic approach that recognizes both the unique challenges and opportunities of frontier AI and widely deployed AI applications. Walker did not explicitly define "overregulation," but it likely refers to recent bans on Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.

In the 21-page policy paper titled "A Pragmatic Approach to AI Governance in America," Google proposes establishing a federal regulatory agency called the "Frontier AI Regulatory Organization (FARO)." This organization would operate on a model similar to nominally independent, industry-funded bodies such as the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the American Medical Association, and would be overseen by a government commission or agency.

On copyright issues, Google argues in the paper that using publicly available web data to train models constitutes a transformative, non-expressive use, which should be protected under the fair use doctrine in the United States and fall under text and data mining exceptions abroad. The company also suggests that AI platforms should be required to take reasonable measures, add ongoing disclaimers, filter out pornographic or romantic content, avoid claiming the model is human and periodically state it is not, and not promote emotional dependence.

Regarding data center construction, Google contends that the issue is not whether to build data centers, but how to build them in the right way, responsibly, and in collaboration with communities. At the same time, for many communities, this is no longer a question but an inevitability, and current opposition to data centers is becoming an issue that can unite different political spectrums.

Data shows that AI industry lobbying spending has increased by 340% since 2023, reflecting tech companies' active push for regulatory policies favorable to their interests.
