Biden Takes Action on AI Regulation with Tech Company Critics
President Biden met with civil society leaders critical of Big Tech companies to discuss the potential risks of artificial intelligence (AI) and the need for controls to protect people. The meeting included leaders from the Center for Humane Technology, Algorithmic Justice League, and Common Sense Media. Biden stressed the importance of ensuring AI does not undermine US democracy and discussed how such tools could amplify misinformation and widen political polarization. The White House is taking the boom in AI and its risks seriously, with the government putting out an "AI bill of rights" and allocating new funding for AI research.
