Biden, Harris Meet With CEO’s About AI Risk

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris has met with the heads of Google, Microsoft and two other companies developing artificial intelligence. President Joe Biden briefly dropped by the meeting in the White House’s Roosevelt Room and told the CEOs, “What you’re doing has enormous potential and enormous danger.” The Biden administration is rolling out initiatives meant to ensure the rapidly evolving AI technology improves lives without putting at risk people’s rights and safety. The Democratic administration announced a $140 million investment to establish seven AI research institutes. The White House Office of Management and Budget intends to issue guidance in the next few months on how federal agencies can use AI tools.
