An aging Congress' dilemma: Can they regulate AI without using it?

Aging lawmakers are facing a significant challenge as they grapple with regulating AI, despite many admitting they don't use it. This admission highlights a potential disconnect between the lawmakers' experience and the fast-evolving tech landscape, raising concerns about their ability to effectively oversee AI's development. The issue matters deeply because there are urgent calls for an AI slowdown to prevent potentially catastrophic outcomes.
