AI Risks Discussed at the White House

The White House announced that the Biden administration has agreed with executives from AI companies to further develop appropriate safeguards regarding AI technology. During a meeting chaired by Vice President Kamala Harris, she warned about the "ethical" responsibility to protect users from the potential social risks of AI. She pointed out that while AI has the capability to improve people's lives, it can also simultaneously increase security risks, violate privacy, and undermine trust in democratic concepts. During the meeting, Joe Biden addressed the attendees, emphasizing the importance of protecting people's rights and safety. "Artificial Intelligence is one of the most powerful tools of our time, but to seize its opportunities, we must first mitigate its risks. Today, I dropped by a meeting with AI leaders to touch on the importance of innovating responsibly and protecting people's rights and safety," said President Biden.
