The article claims that AI is a “dual use” general purpose computing technology, and that it can be used for good and evil. To my knowledge, most technology can be used for good and evil depending on who is using it, so the article begs the question of how much of each we can reliably expect.
The article says that actually the current bill does not cover any models at all, and gives advice on how to change it so it does.
It never makes any claim that AI is safe.
A lot of people read what they expect to see, rather than the words that are actually there.
