I don't see how they will enforce many of these rules on Open Source AI.

Also:

"Establish an advanced cybersecurity program to develop AI tools to find and fix vulnerabilities in critical software, building on the Biden-Harris Administration’s ongoing AI Cyber Challenge. Together, these efforts will harness AI’s potentially game-changing cyber capabilities to make software and networks more secure."

I fear the end of pwning your own device to free it from DRM or other lockouts is coming to an end with this. We have been lucky that C++ is still used badly in many projects and that has been an achilles heel for many a manager wanting to lock things down. Now this door is closing faster with the rise of AI bug catching tools.

Orders such as these don't appear out of the blue — corporate interests & political players are always consulted long before they appear, & threats to those interests such as Open Source Anything are always in their sights. This is a likely first step in a larger move to snatch strong AI tools out of the hands of the peasants before someone gets a bright idea which can upend the current order of things.
