Artificial intelligence has reached a new level of interest since ChatGPT entered the scene. The AI chatbot, with its eerily human-like responses, has lit a fire under many tech giants and smaller tech companies, who are now rushing to launch their rival offerings. US President Joe Biden, however, wants them to be careful and make sure their products are safe before opening them to the public. Agreed AP: and: Reuters:The president met with his science and technology advisers, including scientists and executives from Google and Microsoft, to discuss the “risks and opportunities” of artificial intelligence.
While the meeting likely won’t end in a ban on ChatGPT, as happened in Italy, the president doesn’t seem convinced that AI is completely safe at this point. When asked whether artificial intelligence is dangerous, he answered: He told the group. “In my view, tech companies have a responsibility to make sure their products are safe before they go public… AI can help tackle some very difficult challenges like disease and climate change, but it also has. address potential risks to our society, our economy, our national security.”
The White House told news organizations that the president also used the opportunity to discuss “the importance of protecting rights and security to ensure responsible innovation and adequate safeguards.” Furthermore, he talked about his previous calls for Congress to pass legislation that would protect children’s privacy online.
It does not sound like a policy was developed during the meeting and big changes are planned. But Russell Wald of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence said AP: that the president has “created a foundation for a national dialogue on the topic, raising the spotlight on artificial intelligence.” Last year, the Biden administration also released its draft AI Bill of Rights. It is intended to guide the design and deployment of artificial intelligence and other automated systems in ways that protect “the American public in the age of artificial intelligence.”
