what i understood from the above comment is that the government should first do the basic policy making (set some non-negotiables for the ai companies etc) before jumping into solution building. let the market figure out the tech solutions.
The purpose of a government is to serve its people, not make sure every business gets the same conditions at all costs. Picking winners and losers is fine if the losers still have a chance to beat the winners when they're really better.
If someone makes a free PII detector better than Rampart I bet the US government will either switch to it or make Rampart v2. For now it's enough. Perfect is the enemy of good.
